Today I will show you an easy and cheap way of starting with SDR radio: Ready-made SD card images for a Raspberry Pi with all the needed software installed and preconfigured. Ready to work with most SDR receivers like the RTL-SDR dongles or the Adalm Pluto. And I will show you a cheap alternative to the RTL-SDR dongles. Finally, I will show you the cheapest and simplest way to generate test signals for our experiments.

This is the first I heard of the MSI2500. It's perfect for the price, dynamic range, frequency range, number of filtered bands, and versatility. Plus it's cheaper than the RTL-SDR that I just bought.

@howforless Год назад

Supposedly it’s a clone of the RSP1, i was surprised too, but after buying one, i can confirm it’s a 100% upgrade from the rtl-sdr, aaaaaand it’s cheaper!

@BrightBlueJim Год назад

@@howforless There are also some smaller RSP1 clones that use a single SMA, and have switches on the board to choose the bandpass filter. I bought one last week, and am having fun with it.

Hi John, note that I'm not using this with a Raspberry Pi, just using CubicSDR downloaded on a MacBook for now. I do want to try it on the Pi with a touch screen LCD, which was why I thought this video would be helpful.

@johnwest7993 Год назад

@@BrightBlueJim, thanks. I'm not a software guy, so I know little about what works with what. I'll try my module with other hardware and apps. After pricing the Raspberry Pi's that are available now I was afraid I was just going to have to wait till production had ramped up beyond demand again in a year or 2. Unfortunately, I've finally deduced that my new SDR module is defective, and I was getting the run-around from the seller, so I've decided to order one from a different vendor and also try to repair this one.

@robertcringely7348 Год назад

I'm finishing-up my eighth homebuilt airplane, which sounds like a lot except that's over 50 years of building. This new one is a Quickie Q1 -- a VERY SMALL canard design. The entire instrument panel is an iPad that even controls an autopilot. But now I am interested in SDRs and wonder if I can use them to make aviation (118.000 to 136.975 MHz) transceivers? Of course I CAN, but should I? It's just AM modulation and I am properly licensed with an FCC Class 1 license (I was chief engineer at a commercial radio station at age 17) and the little plane has a radio license, too. I'm not a licensed radio MANUFACTURER, but surely these SDRs fit the technical requirements, so why not do it?

@HB9BLA Год назад

1. Nice little plane, and an interesting setup. I also had an experimental canard in mind (I even went for a test flight in Florida). But it was a too big project for me. So I admire your work! 2. Most modern radios are based on SDR technology. This might not apply to aviation because, as I remember, this technology mostly was "proven" and therefore old. 3. You probably could build an SDR transceiver. But AFAIK you are not allowed to use it. The right to build is only for licensed HAM operators, and only in the HAM bands. DIY receivers are ok in most countries.

@reinholdu9909 Год назад

_Andreas to the rescue._ In future I'll refer ham newbies to your *Great Intro* . (anyway.better loaning my pi than fixing (yet) another _"Experimented On"_ WinPC) Btw: The usual chinese sources also sell _ "filters only diy sets"_ (...very useful with a better antenna on cheap rtl (imho))

@HB9BLA Год назад

Unfortunately, I did not find the products you mentioned. Maybe you send me a link via another way?

@9a4qv Год назад

Hello Andreas, can you check one thing for me please. Switching on the Rpi, do you notice the increased noise on the other radio, let say 145 MHz? I am running the RPi 3b+ with the openwebrx sw but powering the Rpi increase the noise on my other packet radio up to 59+20dB. The cause is not the switching power supply but the RPi. Do you have the same experience there? Thanks...

@HB9BLA Год назад

I did not experience this fact. But my Pi4s are all in metal cases for passive cooling

@9a4qv Год назад

@@HB9BLA Mine Rpi is all in aluminum heatsink and the noise start immediatelly... ok, thanks for the answer...

@dr_jaymz Год назад

I was hoping for a preconfigured OS that I can put on a PI that is remote and connect using a web front end. This is because I can put it up high and away from noise. I currently use sdr sharp and it would be good to still use that but it seems far too time consuming to set all of that up. VNC isn't really very good especially over wifi for realtime listening - it takes half of the PI just to stream the VNC desktop.

@ArztvomDienst Год назад

There is a raspberry-websdr github projekt that does that, providing a webinterface from which you can listen an controll, I set it up a couple of years ago and it worked well. Using the flash-and-go solution showed here, I would expect not too much of headache setting it up since the 'bad stuff' like drivers and such comes pre-compiled/pre-installed.

@HB9BLA Год назад

For my QO-100 station, I use SDR console and a Pluto Plus on the roof connected via Ethernet. This should also work with a raspberry Pi.

@cheako91155 Год назад

Espressobin should have more IO bandwith than a Pi and used to cost about $70 for the board without a 12v barrel jack(5 to 10 USD) and a case /w heatsink another $10... so like $100 for a usable setup.

@HB9BLA Год назад

I agree. As soon as you leave the Raspberry ecosystem you get much more choice. But you lose the community support as well as many projects. I am just tinkering with a used thin client PC and proxmox ;-)

@cheako91155 Год назад

@@HB9BLA I disagree, I mean you are right that there is a kind of safety net when going with something well traveled. I just don't think it matters to the degree ppl might imagine. I would guess the superior IO more than makes up for the tradeoff of this device not being as popular.

@n1kkri 10 месяцев назад

@@HB9BLA Thanks for your reply. This is a good video for those that are already familiar with using a Raspberry Pi and a SDR but might be advanced for someone with no experience with a Pi and a SDR. I have played with a cheap SDR on my Laptop and have that working but would need a slightly more basic video to use a SDR with a Raspberry Pi. I would like to try the board with the multiple inputs on my laptop assuming it is already available as a choice for plug and play to see if reception is any better.
