SDR Base Station with Raspberry Pi - The Undercroft - September 2020

Now that you have your shiny new Raspberry Pi, you may be asking yourself “what can I do with this thing?” Jonathan last spoke about making an emulation box to play all of your favorite classic games from yesteryear, but now he is back with a new project. Welcome to the Software-Defined Radio, one of the coolest devices to hit the market this decade. These often cheap USB gumsticks can pluck precious information right out of the frequencies floating around us for analysis. Join us for an adventure of pairing the amazing Raspberry Pi and the versatile Software-Defined Radio to ride the airwaves and decode data as if it came out of thin air. 0:00 - Intro 0:59 - Agenda 3:01 - Whoami 4:36 - Basics of Radio and History 4:47 - Radio Transceivers 6:42 - Modulation Basics 8:12 - Software-Defined Radio 10:42 - History 12:30 - Speakeasy Program 14:52 - SDR Hardware 15:11 - HackRF One 17:33 - PortaPack 20:08 - LimeSDR 22:32 - RTL-SDR 28:49 - KerberosSDR 31:56 - What can you do with an RTL-SDR? 34:23 - SDR Software 34:44 - Windows and Linux Tools 37:24 - First Build Project - Freq Show 43:50 - Prebuilt Tool Stack - pisdr 45:33 - Second Build Project - PiAware 1:02:02 - I'm on a Boat! - AIS 1:04:35 - Third Build Project - APRS 1:14:48 - Other Fun Projects - Weather Data, ISS, Radiosonde, FM 1:29:47 - Important Questions 1:29:59 - Do I need a HAM License? 1:32:08 - ECPA 1:33:23 - Illegal Stuff 1:39:24 - Holypager 1:40:14 - YouTube References 1:41:37 - Questions ➨ Products Used: RTL-SDR - https://amzn.to/2FYo3yh HackRF One - https://amzn.to/32Xcyjv PortaPack - https://amzn.to/3kCrSYG Raspberry Pi 3B+ - https://amzn.to/33V4zTd ➨ Slides: https://www.slideshare.net/JonathanSi...
