SDR and GNURadio, seems like the best first step! Thanks!
- mindcrime 10y agoI just bought a RTL-SDR dongle and installed GNURadio about a week ago. So far I've gotten a basic FM (broadcast radio) receiver going, and am starting to port that over to narrow-band FM (so I can use it with my ham radio) and am looking at how to integrate a DTMF decoder. It's really fun stuff, and not very expensive to get started with the low end SDR hardware. I think my device cost me about $25.00 (USD) from a vendor on Amazon. I haven't gotten as far as doing any of the satellite stuff yet, but that's on the list for "real soon now". If you're thinking about taking the plunge, I'd definitely encourage you to do it.
