Gnu Radio is primarily a *development framework* for host-based DSP, 
mostly from SDR radio hardware.  It isn't a "plug and play" application for
  "casual airwave surfing", although such applications have been 
*written* using the Gnu Radio DSP framework, such as GQRX.

If you can manipulate a signal using a formal mathematical model, you 
can use Gnu Radio to process that signal.
