SDR Console requires more initial configuration, but it's feature-rich and uses less overhead, so I've switched to it entirely.įirst, install your audio piping program. I like the simplicity of Cubic SDR, but found it used a lot of processing power and overheated my laptop a couple times. Your vehicle's metallic body will become a large ground plane and improve the antenna's reception. If you can drive to your location, try sticking the magnetic Tram antenna on the top of your vehicle. You'll get better results if you do this from an area relatively clear of obstructions like buildings and trees, with good horizon-to-horizon vistas.įor me, this is a nearby park. Connect the Tram antenna to your USB stick using the cable adapter, and plug everything in to your laptop. Télécharger model city pyongyang by cristiano bianchi epub The software package we'll be using can generate approximate true-color versions of the above image and draw map boundaries, like this.
I figured this would be a good starting exercise, and now that I've had a few successes, I'm ready to post my first SDR activity guide. In other words, if I can figure it out, I can write how-to guides for everyone else. Since I'm also a radio newbie, we figured a good initial task would be seeing how hard it was for me to get my own Software Defined Radio SDR system up and running, at a relatively low cost, and perform a few basic exercises.
Providing you live within range of LightSail's degree inclination orbit-we'll calculate a specific latitude range for that. We also want to make tracking LightSail an inclusive activity that anyone, including folks without any prior radio experience, can enjoy. Our ultimate goal is building a software tool that will help LightSail trackers capture and submit data to our packet repository in real-time. Many of you sent us beacon packets, some of which were very helpful in telling us what our spacecraft was doing when it was out of range of our U.
During the LightSail test mission, dozens of radio trackers around the world tuned in to our spacecraft's signal.
