A subreddit for the low-cost, DIY software defined radio (SDR) community. While originally dedicated just to the rtl-sdr project, relevant legal content related to general SDR, RF and similar projects is also welcomed. With the advent of cheap software defined radios made popular by the RTL-SDR project a few years back, satellite communications are now within the budget of even the most modest hacker. L-BAND RECEIVER THE DIY PORTABLE OUTERNET RECEIVER MANUAL For rxOS v2.02. We send files over Inmarsat satellites, which transmit radio waves in the L-Band frequency range. These waves are received by the radio on. Software-defined Radio (SDR) rxOS software on a Computer (C.H.I.P., Raspberry Pi 3, Linux, or Windows).
When I read about Software Defined Radio, it is always in the context of military. Cell phones are already probably software defined to some extent except the various standards make them pretty well frozen for each generation.

Like your other 3000+ new brothers and sisters, I jumped into this from the /r/AskReddit thread. It's so cool! I bought what seemed to be a decent receiver on Amazon yesterday (metal casing, good heat distribution, multiple antenna options included) and after a bit of fiddling with drivers and software and the whole lot I was able to listen to a local radio station on my laptop, from my own receiver! I know it's small, but it's so cool! I am currently playing with SDRSharp, learning how changing between the different antennas and modifying settings affect what comes in, the whole thing is so awesome and I can't wait to discover what else I can do with this little device!
Thank you for providing such great documentation and guides, it has really helped so far.
