RADIOBERRY HF SDR TRANSCEIVER PI HAT - IT'S BACK! 

WOOHOO we need it

Glad you enjoyed it!

Здравствуйте скажите пожалуйста откуда информация про мощность TX 5 w ??? I am not sach this. Thank you for the ask

Hey there, I've been getting into HAM and snagged a UV-5R. Obviously, it's pretty limited as far as actually picking up most of the things around my area as a lot is DRS. Can this do DRS? Also, I'm mainly interested in building out an automated scanner. Is that something that can be done in the open-source software or would it have to be done in code?

Glad you liked it!

You are welcome!

Thanks for watching!

@@TechMindsOfficial it's with pleasure my friend 🙂

Have fun! Let us know how you get on making it. Cheers

Is there a source for the schematic / pcb of this preamp?

Still really cool to have, I can build a pair of walkie talkies with those that can work on strange frequencys.

Much cheaper then 5k plus

Consider that a decent hf rig starting price is $600. - $10k. Most hams only have wet dreams about a hf setup. This works for a lot of people. $150 is a gift if it performs as advertised. I'm setup but like to play. Plan on one in the very near future.

Thanks for watching :-) Well, that's a tricky one because the screen size of PiHPSDR is hard encoded and you have to change it in the source code, and then re-compile it.

Hope you enjoy it!

@@TechMindsOfficial not worth the trouble without the preamp that was designed for it. can you pull some strings?

I’m trying!! lol.. I’m hoping Justin makes a re-boot of the pre-amp board like he has with this Radioberry. However, making a switching relay and filters is actually pretty easy to do using the header on the Radioberry.

@@TechMindsOfficial Count me in too Matt although an open source PCB and soldering is an alternative for squinting eyes and burnt fingers LOL!

if the hw (PCB + assembly + parts) cost around 50USD than 150 USD is realistic. For small production runs (like below 100000) 3x multiplier is recommended in business, if you want to stay in business.

Thank you!

Strange issue you have there. Definitely a local issue for yourself. If you make an AliExpress account and make sure your locale settings are correct, then the links should work fine.

Hi there, if you mean just a receiver then you cannot go wrong with an SDRPlay RSPdx.

@@TechMindsOfficial Thank you!

Then why not go LimeSDR?

@@sonofnone116 I'm pretty new to the radio stuff. Limesdr does look pretty cool. Right now my constraints are money and knowledge. Just got a hf rig, battery, antenna and the parts and pieces. After I mess around with my new toys I will go back figuring out sdr. The lime does look good and it says it works with Linux.

I have quite a few videos on SDR. Check out my video "Beginners guide to SDR".

As far as I am aware the Caribou Lite does not work on the HF bands, as this Pi Hat does. So its not really comparable. Thanks

I think it's pretty cheap already for what it is. The Gerber and the BOM are available on the Github link that I shared, so you can potentially get them built yourself from places like PCBWAY.

When are you going to make your revision available for purchase?

@@tracymoon4437 1. I am currently unable to use a any PCB design program (used Eagle long time ago), but I am working on regaining the skills with an open source PCB design program 2. I don't have the knowledge to design such a modern and complex unit, though I have been designing and selling radio modems in the 90's (µ-Modem / MX10). 3. I would have to see if there are any transceiver chips available that do more than 12 bit, because apart from ham radio most UHF/SHF applications (e.g. mobile networks) nothings works over long distances that would require a higher dynamic RX, for my understanding this is mainly SWL-DXing / Ham Radio, in other words mainly for the super nerds😂. When you use this wide bandwidth of a few MHz, most RF protocols don't require high dynamic to get a good bit error rate. I think this chip has been designed for baseband operation, not for actual HF operation that we use it for. So no, I am incapable of designing something like this, therefore have a lot of respect for those who do and am thankful, but I would be even happier with them if they would sometimes have a little more practical approach and also use their stuff for a few days and be critical about it when operating it in the real world. The good thing about the PI4 cooling issue is that when soldering the header the other way around on the PI and TRX-PCB, it will work without any re-design, only the basic 12Bit lack of dynamic issue on the RX will remain. But as seen here it works quite well if you operate it under certain conditions and don't look so closely. I have been designing many things (in RF/audio/DC domains) that worked but were not good enough for real world application for my taste and just showing them at fairs, people would come by and offer me money to buy these prototypes, but I refused because I knew it could be done better in detail, while causing me less to no trouble when offering the maintenance/repair for a mature product.

Two different official stores which hold stock. So if one runs out hopefully the other has stock. I know how popular this was, so trying not to disappoint anyone.

@@TechMindsOfficial got it. Thanks!

Windows was used. Link for github in the video description. ;-)

It was just the screen recording, CL016 would be correct for my type of board. Well spotted!

@@TechMindsOfficial no worries, i blindly followed you without checking and ended up with just a constant tone coming through. All good now after changing to cl016.

Thank you kindly!

SDRPlay.com

I use an EFHW with 49:1 antenna. I have a video on my channel on how it's made. Thanks

GitHub wiki and google grouo

@@TechMindsOfficial Thanks, I'll have to look there again. I didn't find a seller there last time

Don't get too excited :-) lol...

Nope, but you could use a transverter.

If you have a radioamateur license, yes you can send and receive email and small pictures.

@@TheErilaz Thanks for your reply. Would you please tell more details about the licensing?Like, How to avail that? Who is responsible to provide? What are the procedures and costings should be? -Thanks

@@md.shahinurrahman747 you'll need to check your local licensing laws. Any way, if your main aim is to transfer files, just use a mobile phone or PC over the internet. Using this will not be as cheap, fast or secure.

Any files of the average sizes used today would take a long long time to transfer. It would also have to be sent in the clear as, at least for the U.S., transmitting encrypted messages is illegal. And yes, you have to be a licensed ham operator with hf privileges to transmit on those bands. The bottom line? Don’t do it.

@@eddthirty4065 I thought it would be used an alternative to the present internet communication system. Since this system's network covers all over the world, therefore the place where cable internet network or mobile network is not reachable or not much strong can be used for that tele-communication. Yes File Transfer is one of the main concern over this communication also. My be this is not much matured enough for these purpose till now. But hope soon it will be purposefull also :)

I created my own as I needed a specific screen size, feel free to copy and modify the code: github.com/TechMindsYT/pihpsdrmods

@@TechMindsOfficial thank you

Sadly HF only

There is a SoapySDR driver

Thanks!

It’s almost like a rooster, but without the S…

The correct way to pronounce router

Totally different products, for a start the Airspy cannot transmit.

And 1kW output. ^^

@@la7dfa no lets go to 1000gigawatts lol.

1.21 Gigawatts is just around the corner in 1995.

Yes you are!

Did you watch the video? The bit here I demonstrated transmitting and I also said it is compatible with the N2ADR filter board? What's a 450?
