  Recently we had reported commissioning of a prototype for pulsar observations
at low radio frequencies (<100 MHz) using log-periodic dipole antennas (LPDAs)
in the Gauribidanur Radio Observatory near Bangalore in India. The
aforementioned system (GAuribidanur Pulsar System, GAPS) is currently being
augmented to directly digitize the radio frequency signals from the individual
antennas in the array. Our initial results using 1-bit raw voltage recording
system indicates that such a back-end receiver offers distinct advantages like,
(i) simultaneous observations of any set of desired directions in the sky with
multiple offline beams and smaller data rate/volume, (ii) archival of the
observed data with minimal resources for re-analysis in the future, either in
the same or different set of directions in the sky.
