Title : Updated Meteor M-N2-2 Tutorial and Decoder Now Available
Content : Thank you to Happysat for submitting the following
information about the updated LRPT decoder for Meteor M-N2-2. He has
also provided a link to his very useful Meteor Satellite reception
tutorial .
Title : Kickstarter for a Lower Cost Laboratory Grade RF Broadband
Noise Generator
Content : UPDATE: John wanted to add the following clarification:
Title : YouTube Video: Information Packed Introduction to SDR
Content : Over on YouTube Nick Black has uploaded a video where
he does a good introduction to software defined radio (SDR), SDR
history, how SDR works, various SDR concepts like sampling and
bandwidth, different SDR hardware, the SDR Linux stack and reverse
engineering wireless signals.
Title : PiSDR Image Gains PlutoSDR Support
Content : [ @Lugigi Cruz ] has announced on twitter that his latest
PiSDR image now includes full PlutoSDR support. PiSDR is a pre-built
Raspberry Pi distribution that supports several SDRs including the
RTL-SDR. It comes with many applications and libraries ready for you
to use some of which include GQRX and GNURadio Companion. PiSDR is
available on [ GitHub ] and just needs to be burned to an SD card
to be used. The PlutoSDR is a low cost (typically priced anywhere
between $99 – $149 depending on sales) RX/TX capable SDR with
up to 56 MHz of bandwidth and a 70 MHz to 6 GHz frequency range.
Title : Hackaday Looks back on Seven Years of RTL-SDR
Content : Hackaday is a very popular blog that summarizes and
aggregates all sorts of content related to hardware, electronics
and software projects (just like we do with SDR content). Over the
years Hackaday have featured RTL-SDR related projects several times,
and in their latest post Tom Nardi reminisces on the seven years
since RTL-SDRs became a thing .
Title : Tracking Multiple Amateur Radio APRS Balloons with RTL-SDRs
Content : Last month Jeff Deaton from " Edge of Space Sciences "
(EOSS) presented a talk called "SDR Multi Balloon Tracking", where
he discusses how EOSS are using RTL-SDR receivers to track their
APRS high altitude balloons. EOSS is a Denver, Colorado based
non-profit organization that promotes science and education by
exploring frontiers in amateur radio and high altitude balloons. The
talk overview reads:
Title : YouTube Review of the RS-918: A Chinese Clone of a Clone
of the mcHF SDR
Content : Over on YouTube  Kevin Loughin  has uploaded a video
reviewing the "Recent RS-918" which is a Chinese clone of the popular
mcHF open source SDR transceiver made by Chris (M0NKA). The mcHF
is a well known small and inexpensive home brewed open source HF
QRP SDR that was started back in 2013. It's sold either as a kit
for 236.82 GBP (US$287), or with metal enclosure at 292.78 GBP
(US$354). The kit comes with SMD components already soldered, but
you still need to solder the through hole components and assemble
it into the enclosure. The RS-918 clone can be found fully assembled
as a ready to use product on eBay for approximately US$400.
Title : GR-Oscilloscope: Using an Oscilloscope as a Software
Defined Radio
Content : A modern digital oscilloscope uses an analogue to digital
converter (ADC) and digital signal processing (DSP), just like a
software defined radio does, so it stands to reason that with some
software hacks an oscilloscope could be turned into an SDR.
