Dream is a popular GPL licensed open source software implementation of a Digital Radio Mondiale (DRM) receiver that runs on FreeBSD, Linux, Apple Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows.
Most inexpensive shortwave receivers sold commercially can be used to decode DRM broadcasts, by simply connecting them to a computer via the sound card (often though the use of an external 455 kHz to 12 kHz IF adapter) and running the Dream software on the host computer. This can be a more attractive option for people wishing to listen to DRM broadcasts than purchasing an expensive stand-alone DRM receiver, which may cost $100 or more.
Famous quotes containing the words dream and/or receiver:
“From the age of fifteen, dogma has been the fundamental principle of my religion: I know no other religion; I cannot enter into the idea of any other sort of religion; religion, as a mere sentiment, is to me a dream and a mockery.”
—Cardinal John Henry Newman (1801–1890)
“Gifts must affect the receiver to the point of shock.”
—Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)
