Is there a link for the Matts Gadgets channel?
Never mind.. I found it.

This is cool. I have one with a rpi4 doing signal machine learning. Not that snappy but will get better im sure.

[jzenick]

Seems like he should just sell the book on its own.

Looking forevard to getting my kit. It was posted two days ago from Elektor in the UK to Denmark. The Rasperry Pi is already arrived and my vacation starts in a week - what's not to like?

Thanks for the great review and featuring the Elektor Raspberry Pi RTL-SDR Kit.

Nice job explaining this. I am interested in doing this❤

[fotografm]

Excellent review ! It's books like this that started me on a career in engineering half a century ago !

[richsmout]

That's really cool, just sent video over to others that would be interested in this also 👍

Where can I find? ...
This looks like a great receiver setup. I am a pilot who is NEW to SDR and am asking for help to find out the best way to connect the voice input received by the device into voice recognition software on the PI using the Python PiAudio library. I want to be able to call the receiver at my grass strip airport to command the PI to read the wind direction and speed from a weather station and broadcast the information back to me. (Airband in North America, the spectrum from 118.000 to 136.975 MHz is used with 25 kHz spacing and AM). Instead of voice comands, I could - lets say - click my aircraft radio transmit button 5 times. The RTL-SDR would have to know how to count the transmit clicks. I have no idea how that works.
Any help appreciated. Thanks!

Thank you for the video! I'm going to get one of these kits.

I want to control a VGC VR-N9500 via a Raspberry Pi with an application other that the recommended Chinese software: HT (Android) or BSHT (iOS).

Something like OmniRig, etc. I want to accomplish something similar to putting a PAN adapter on an IC-7100.

I am curious to get one of these running my radio station.

[iblackfeathers]

it’s kind of funny / sad that it’s a raspberry pi kit without the raspberry pi.
i coincidentally happen to have everything in this kit from separate independent purchases, except for the book.
might be interesting as an e-book, so i do not have to buy what i already havejust for the book.

[WessexWeather]

I’m sure it was a slip of the tongue but Bullseye is the latest Raspberry Pi OS Matt.

[private]

may order this kit. I am not getting anywhere with my pi and rtl-sdr....

[roykilo]

just so happen to have an extra PI laying around..guess Ill order the book.. Thanks K8ROY 73

[MorrWorm]

Where did you get that heatsink? I love it!

[KAUPW]

Ill wait until its updated to include the pi-5

[nickausten]

Thanks Matt. Where did you get the Blitzwolf display? Is it USBC?
Cheers, Nick. vk6dv
