  1. #gps #gnss-sdr #sdr #rtlsdr #log @rf
    Попытался поймать GPS на rtlsdr. Купил активную антенну, собрал, обмазался gnss-sdr. Поймал, но результаты примерно как у консумерских девайсов конца прошлого века, мой старый смартфон гораздо лучше работает. Кажется чтобы иметь возможность наловить побольше спутников, промерять ионосферу и обмазаться DGPS с сантиметровой точностью, и всё на СПО, нужна SDR-приставочка за сотню баксов, по крайней мере на текущем уровне развития техники, а модный переделанный приёмник аналогового телевизора для таких целей подходит плохо. Как простой обыватель может получить спутниковое определение позиции с сантиметровой точностью дешевле, впрочем, не ясно.
  2. Estábamos configurando la radio SDR que se compró mi cuñado, y encontramos una señal de radio entre las radios Universo y la Rock&Pop ... ¡al parecer es una radio pirata! se llama MARAVILLOSA FM en el 93.9 del dial de Santiago de Chile.

    ¿Alguien más la escucha? Leyeron un whatsapp al aire de un oyente en Macul.

  4. is there already some statistical pattern recognizer (aka AI before the times of LLMs) that automatically guesses modulation of radio signals? working with #rtlsdr or with #gnuradio?

    update: and automatically decodes the signal into files?

  6. Learning to use an RTL-SDR v4 has been on my bucket list for ages. Last week I finally started, tuned into FT8, and… ohhh myyy. 🤯

    I'm amazed how it pulls in signals from soooo far away on nothing but the cheap stock antenna.

    I was never a Pokémon kid, but now I have a strong urge to "catch 'em all" and fill in at least one Maidenhead grid.
    Is that a thing?
    Please tell me that this is a thing

  7. I think it's so cool that from my house in Nottingham, with a cheap SDR dongle and the included antenna I can pick up ADSB signals from aircraft over a hundred miles away and then plot their details on a map with an opensource tool and a bit of HTML. #SoftwareDefinedRadio #SDR #RTLSDR #Radio #aviation

  8. This is, by far, the absolute most inefficient and ridiculous way I've machinated to listen to local classic rock radio. (And I'm into amateur radio.)

  9. Setting up my RTL-SDR dongle to work on my Android tablet with RF Analyzer, and of course the first thing I do is tune in the local classic rock station and listen to "Stairway to Heaven". That was the only path I could go by.

  10. I had fun at the #Hamvention conference last week. I was too busy at the AMSAT Education table to post, but I was showing off the CubeSat Simulator and talking satellites. 🛰️📡📻

    This video of me is actually from two years ago ago, but I just found it 😁

  11. Building a $40 Stingray Detector That Fits in an Altoids Tin

    You don’t see IMSI catchers. You don’t hear them. They sit between your phone and the network like a polite lie, impersonating a tower just well enough that your device shrugs and connects anyway. No warning. No vibration. Nothing in the UI suggests that your phone has just been convinced to trust something it never verified.

  12. :boostRequest: Due to life decisions that I am comfortable with , I use my SDRs over the network with my own goofball protocol.

    Existing apt installable programs don't support it, so I figured it was high time to do what any normal person would do -- convincingly implement librtlsdr.so off my rust sdr codebase (sparky) and make it work without any other changes. Obviously.

  13. And @thomaseckert gave a great talk on "listening to the radio with rust" - including some great RTL-SDR demos listening to radio live!

    Open-source slides and demos available here:

    Thanks to the organizers @ottawasystems for a great meetup!

  14. Trying to get an automated Meteor receiving station going at home. Still needs some work, but it's receiving decently. #rtlsdr #satellite #hamradio

  15. @trib
    Since I was already running Mosquitto as #MQTT broker, I flashed #OpenMqttGateway on an #ESP32 module with a 433MHz receiver and got myself a non-smart weather station.
    Alternately you could use #RTL433 and an #RTLSDR dongle to receive the data (or data from your neighbors weather stations).

    My station is from LaCrosse, but there are other supported brands.

  16. Yay, my ACARS receiver is working again after replacing the powered USB hub.

    ps. dirty or clouded windows on the outside of a plane, although not a safety hazard or anything, are a great annoyance to me. You're at 35,000 feet and there's a SMUDGE on that window and you want to take a picture of something....

  17. Apparently toasted a powered USB hub running my SDRs... (36W hub...). Going for a slightly more reputable 60W hub manufacturer to see if it lasts longer. #sdr #rtlsdr

  18. A very interesting use for those #rtlsdr #sdr dongles: Listen to what your heat cost allocators, water meters etc. are talking all day. And graph it.
    Hint: They're really chatty.
    And the stuff is surprisingly easy to setup with cheap dongles, i.e. former DVB-T/DAB dongles.

    And what is even more impressive: Those little things can do proper #AES...who would've thunk.

  19. Das sieht doch schonmal ganz gut aus. Besonders cool ist, dass auf der Karte nach einer Weile die Abdeckung angezeigt wird. Da unser Arbeitszimmer nach Norden ausgerichtet ist, ergibt das auch halbwegs Sinn. Feeder für ADSB-Exchange fehlt noch.
