I bought the exact dongle shown here and have been messing around with it for about a month now with limited success. In that process, I have watched numerous RU-vid videos about many types of equipment and their uses which has helped me understand quite a bit. This particular channel is perfect for my current level of understanding. It took a while, but I found it! Cheers!

I am stuck at the sdr# installation as I have to wait for my kit to come into the mail LOL, as well as purchase an extra dongle. Do you have tutorial on how to get satellite images for weather?

hey tahoe steve your video is still going strong so fair its helpped me get all the software im in setup process still but your video helping me alot thank you .. it is very helpful cause i really didnt understand the bulk of any of this stuff ... i have skywave linux but it dont want to upgrade crap 😕 or update any of packages kinda a letdown with it for now so i moved over to windows ... but i love linux stuff it be cool to see you make a video on linux though 😃

Thank you for this video series. I have 2 Nuelec dongles Running. Unitrunker works great for EDACS for Volusia county fl. ITs still Analog. but there are some digital transmission that are Encrypted. I didn't need to use DSDPlus with my set up. I still have all the software he said to down load. Volusia county has a New P25 Phase 2 coning online. I haven't tried to receive the P25 system yet.

Price on those sure went up since you made this video. I'd already bought one for $39, now I'd need a second one at the same price. Amazon is all out after I bought mine, but you can go right to their site and get it. Still $39 though.

@ChuckRowe 6 лет назад

So, did you plug both SDRs into their respective USP ports/hub at the same time? I noticed that by the time you got to zadig, it already saw two devices? Wondering if I should plug in both radios after I run that initial batch file. Thanks! Awesome videos, BTW! :) Going to attempt this setup over the coming weekend.

@jonwhite3203 7 лет назад

I want to correct one item, that being that you do not necessarily need two dongles, I am using just one dongle and listening to an Apco 25 digital/analog system with 6 channels. The six channels are all within I Mhz of the control channel which is why I can do this. This is a very good video, good job.

@TahoeSteve 7 лет назад

Absolutely true, thank you for pointing that out. My goal with my videos is "the simplest setup possible" that is why I chose to go with 2 receivers vs the 2 VCO setup.

@zarmril 6 лет назад

Yes, But if you want to listen to Trunked signals, you need 2. He says so at 2:15

@kauaiphotography 6 лет назад

Excellent tutorial! Unfortunately, I seem to be having P25 decoding issues. Unitrunker seems to be picking up the conversations just fine, based on my scanner, but voice comes in garbled and in some cases badly inaudible. Anything I can try in the settings, although I don't see much to configure with DSD+. Thanks in advance for any ideas you may have that I can try.

@TahoeSteve 6 лет назад

try increasing your bandwidth

@kauaiphotography 6 лет назад

Thanks for the reply and suggestion. Not sure exactly what you mean by increasing the bandwidth, but I have played with the VCO settings in Unitrunker (and many other setting for that matter!) Please let me know specifically what I should try. Regards, Thomas

Would this work for sharing by putting this on a USB Drive where it can be Copied or installed on different Computers? That way everything is already Downloaded and all together.

@davidbee3704 3 года назад

Yes, this can be done if all the mentioned software is available for and can run on Linux. If so, then it is a matter of creating a "live USB" of a Linux distribution e.g. Ubuntu, but creating the live USB with persistence. That way you can take the USB drive and boot up from any computer.

Can two SDR dongles run on a Mac, and if so, do i use the two ports on the Mac or one USB port with an extension? Also, you explain complicated subjects so well.

@TahoeSteve 4 года назад

@josephdragojevich7041 4 года назад

it is possible, but unlikely, Mac is Unix based so you might be able to find someone who has mad a Mac version from the Linux version. you cqan also always just use a virtual machine to run windows inside macosx or you can use Bootcamp to dual boot windows and Macosx.

@PeterCieply 6 лет назад

@brian7824 5 лет назад

Ive ordered my sdr dongles, Do I plug them both in at the same time

@larrygall5831 5 лет назад

I haven't done this with 2 devices yet, but I use one right now, and my thinking would be install one first, then (personally) I'd write a small #1 on the device. It's just a way to keep track of them, and help you know what is doing what.. because I'd imagine they'd look the same once installed. While installing the software though, yeah, it would be a good idea unless you only have one now.. you can add the other one later. It's a good idea to get SDRSharp working first, then you can start listening to regular radio at the very least. I wanted one to get local weather (NOAA) stations, as I live in S. Florida, and it does this perfectly.

Where do you the SDR dongles I know one goes to PC but where does the other one go?

@iceman382 4 года назад

SDR Dongles connect to the PC via USB connection. You will need one USB port on the computer for each SDR dongle. If you don't have an extra USB port free, then you can get a USB hub. Also, please note that some SDR dongles might not work properly with USB 3.0.

yes. also very beneficial to have a powered USB hub.

@WW2Historynut 6 лет назад

Not legally, abandoned GSM cell encryption key is known but the phone bands are not used any longer. You would have to get into the new cell encrypted cell data stream and those keys are not yet known and are unlikely static as the GSM was. Also SDR does not TRANSMIT. You can receive digital/analog pager signals and convert them to text since they are not generally encrypted because they are old legacy hardware generally. Try looking at decoding satellite imaging and my latest test is VIRTUAL RADAR. Receives aircraft radio beacon data and maps it on your google maps screen. Can be used without internet access.

@aldewitt9 4 года назад

You need a shorter antenna for the 800 MHz band. The longer antenna is for the HF bands. The higher the frequency the shorter the antenna. For example, the 70 cm Ham band, a full wave antenna is only 70 cm long. On 7.125 in the 40 meter band, a full wave is 40 meters long. A good antenna length is 1/4 of a wavelength. As you can see you will do much better with a small antenna in the 800 MHz band. AD0DQ.
