    I bought an aluminum RTL-SDR on Amazon that came with 3 antennas for $30. You guys are responsible for that purchase; much love

    I watched the whole thing, and I have to say it was worthwhile and fun. Shannon cracked me up at least three times when she mildly shushed her cohort for acting up. This seems like an awful lot of work for very little, but then again, I'm a noob. Thumb up and subscribed. Cheers!

    If you are going to play SDR, you should have a better antenna. Head over to Ham Radio Outlet in Oakland and pick up a discone antenna. The diamond D130J covers 25-1300 MHz. Even on a tripod inside the studio, it would work better than the crappy antenna that came with the dongle. For a cheaper option there is the MFJ-1868 discone. It's not as heavy duty as a diamond or comet or whatever; but if you are using in the studio primarily, it wont be subject to the elements.

    so lets summarize what we 've learned today 1) don't confuse the minus sign (-) with the ampersand (_) 2) don't forget to disconnect the USB from Host on VM if you plan using it 3) If you want the "good stuff" in wireshark, don't forget to apply some pressure on the "start" button . YAY !! Anyways thank you for sharing this video. Introductory but well explained.

    Make sure your wifi is off. My laptop was smothered in web activity from unknkown sources. Slowed program till instrumentation went blank and speaker chirped.
    Used in Ubuntu 14.04 Live dvd, after replacing "Missing" blocks with new counterparts. doubling clicking a "Missing Block" shows the settings made in the VMware Kali version. Works. Slight variations in GNU Radio versions.

    • @mahound9
      @mahound9 Před 9 lety +1

      Pedrado Jr No, the RTL-SDR can't broadcast. So, you can't have a BTS that sends data. You'll need a full-duplex MIMO capable device at high enough power (~1 watt)...

    I'll repost this for those who asked questions and never received responses. "If you want to explore everything related to gnuradio, and otherwise, type "sudo apt-cache search gnuradio*" The asterisk is important.Just typing it now I see a row of libs, gnuradio-dev, gnuradio-doc (help guide), gr-gsm, gr-osmodr. All sorts of things. Once Gnuradio is running you can launch other peoples projects, .grx files, by typing, 'gnuradio-companion filename.grx', It will launch that persons specific (almost engineering like) map they created for Gnuradio. I have osmos and this fm_reciever one that I found on some blog." Learning to map that out myself is going to take some late nights.
