Cheap Ham Radio SDR

#Ham #Radio #SDR #Police Mike / WG5EEK gave a cool presentation on the use of SDR's. The barrier to entry is very low. You will need a SDR dongle around $30 and a PC (Mac's with up to date OS will be more challenging). The software is free and some dongles come with antennas. Once set up you can listen to all Ham Radio frequencies, aircraft frequencies and even turn it into the cheapest police scanner you can buy. This will work on most monderen trunking police frequencies. What is RTL-SDR? RTL-SDR is a very cheap ~$25 USB dongle that can be used as a computer based radio scanner for receiving live radio signals in your area (no internet required). Depending on the particular model it could receive frequencies from 500 kHz up to 1.75 GHz. Most software for the RTL-SDR is also community developed, and provided free of charge. Over the years since its discovery RTL-SDR has become extremely popular and has democratized access to the radio spectrum. Now anyone including hobbyists on a budget can access the radio spectrum. It's worth noting that this sort of SDR capability would have cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars just a few years ago. The RTL-SDR is also sometimes referred to as RTL2832U, DVB-T SDR, DVB-T dongle, RTL dongle, or the "cheap software defined radio". What is Software Defined Radio? Radio components such as modulators, demodulators and tuners are traditionally implemented in analogue hardware components. The advent of modern computing and analogue to digital converters allows most of these traditionally hardware based components to be implemented in software instead. Hence, the term software defined radio. This enables easy signal processing and thus cheap wide band scanner radios to be produced. What are some RTL-SDR Radio Scanner Applications? The RTL-SDR can be used as a wide band radio scanner. Applications include: Use as a police radio scanner. Listening to EMS/Ambulance/Fire communications. Listening to aircraft traffic control conversations. Tracking aircraft positions like a radar with ADSB decoding. Decoding aircraft ACARS short messages. Scanning trunking radio conversations. Decoding unencrypted digital voice transmissions such as P25/DMR/D-STAR. Tracking maritime boat positions like a radar with AIS decoding. Decoding POCSAG/FLEX pager traffic. Scanning for cordless phones and baby monitors. Tracking and receiving meteorological agency launched weather balloon data. Tracking your own self launched high altitude balloon for payload recovery. Receiving wireless temperature sensors and wireless power meter sensors. Listening to VHF amateur radio. Decoding ham radio APRS packets. Watching analogue broadcast TV. Sniffing GSM signals. Using rtl-sdr on your Android device as a portable radio scanner. Receiving GPS signals and decoding them. Using rtl-sdr as a spectrum analyzer. Receiving NOAA weather satellite images. Listening to satellites and the ISS. Radio astronomy. Monitoring meteor scatter. Listening to FM radio, and decoding RDS information. Listening to DAB broadcast radio. Listening to and decoding HD-Radio (NRSC5). Use rtl-sdr as a panadapter for your traditional hardware radio. Decoding taxi mobile data terminal signals. Use rtl-sdr as a high quality entropy source for random number generation. Use rtl-sdr as a noise figure indicator. Reverse engineering unknown protocols. Triangulating the source of a signal. Searching for RF noise sources. Characterizing RF filters and measuring antenna SWR. Decoding Inmarsat STD-C EGC geosynchronous satellites. Listening to the ISS (International Space Station). Furthermore, with an upconverter or V3 RTL-SDR dongle to receive HF signals the applications are expanded to: Listening to amateur radio hams on SSB with LSB/USB modulation. Decoding digital amateur radio ham communications such as CW/PSK/RTTY/SSTV. Receiving HF weatherfax. Receiving digital radio mondiale shortwave radio (DRM). Listening to international shortwave radio. Looking for RADAR signals like over the horizon (OTH) radar, and HAARP signals. Note that not all the applications listed may be legal in your country. Please be responsible. What is the RTL-SDR frequency range? This is dependent on the particular tuner variant used in the dongle, and the particular implementation. Some dongles, like our RTL-SDR Blog V3 also utilize the direct sampling mode which can enable reception below 28 MHz. Tuner Frequency range Elonics E4000 52 – 2200 MHz with a gap from 1100 MHz to 1250 MHz (varies) Rafael Micro R820T/2 24 – 1766 MHz (Can be improved to ~13 - 1864 MHz with experimental drivers) Fitipower FC0013 22 – 1100 MHz Fitipower FC0012 22 – 948.6 MHz FCI FC2580 146 – 308 MHz and 438 – 924 MHz (gap in between) Table Source: Osmocom Source:https://www.rtl-sdr.com/
