This is just fascinating. Discovered your vids after casually looking for information on HDSDR and very glad I came upon your videos. Your speaking engagements would be a blast to attend. I hope to see one some day. Cheers and thank you for your very informative and well made videos.
balint.. Thanks for the update
excellent hardware, and a excellent place to use it! no shortage of RF in SF huh?!
Thanks mate, inspiring video.
Okay, This is awesome.
Thanks so much, great video in every possible aspect!
I would love to see step by step instruction from taking the B200 out of the box to loading the firmware, configuring the device and setting up HDSDR.
How does it compare with other SDR receivers on the market in terms of sensitivity and intermod?
A "stationary" PCIe version would be very cool too, since bandwidth is not much of an issue there and the real fun and gain & directive antennas are often those that you can't drive around with.
I too am wondering about the case. I'm definitely ordering the board, but I'd love a case as well.
Thanks for watching! There is certainly LOTS of RF around the Bay Area.
Very nice video, thanks a lot!
nice demo.. thanks, impressive
Missing videos like this
I'd like to know about the case too. I probably buy 1 now if I knew I could mount the board in a case like that.
Someday I'll get a Ettus. For now, I'll start with a entry HakRf . Still beginner in terms of price of the units! Great video and great stuff that you can do with software defined radios :)
someday ill get a hackrf for now ill start with rtl-sdr
Mantull om..
Thanks for the info on the manufacturer of aluminum enclosures, excellent resource. Custom enclosure it is. Also do you have a suggestion for a discone antenna that would work well with B200/B210?
Great device with huge price... There is nothing to do either watch this video and have a dream.
Very great system!
All this cool radio technology and I'm sitting here wondering how he dealt with the wind noise on his mic haha
adaptive filtering, my friend
awesome
Wow! It is widest frequency range direct conversion front-end I've ever seen! How did you solved direct conversion problems (sideband/image rejection due to LO harmonics and sideband channels at carrier harmonics)?
The video shows the board in a protective metal case which is important for field work. It doesn't appear to come with the board and I can't find it on your website?
Is there an option to get an enclosure, along with the B200?
Can we use this in Underground Miner Positioning System
I notice around 4:42 you show unlicensed smart meter xmissions around 900 MHz. I had my smart meter removed immediately as I alerted the utility co. that it was "possibly" ;) interfering with my licensed eqpt. Parts 15 & et al, if interfering with licensed eqpt. by FCC law they must cease operation. Easy remedy for those who don't care for those meters, as opposed to futile demands without legal basis such as a mere whim.
How to use two antennas receive signals simultaneously?
Hi how is it possible to find the gnu radio flow graphs to work with these using usrp n210?
Is there any possibility to connect this board to Matlab/Simulink for HIL data processing ?
Would a 6V 4A AC adapter work as a power supply for the N210 rather than the 5.9V 4A, or would the extra 0.1V do damage or give any negative results? Also, could I use a 6V 4A boat battery for when I am on the go? One last thing: Is there anyone in existence who sells enclosures of any sort for the N210?
Thanks!
Please what antenna was used? Meanwhile, it appears like the VERT900 Antenna
Please list the software shown in this video.
You should make an HF mod version, here's how: put an RF mux switch in front of each channel of the AD9361, connect one side to the SMA and the other to ports of a 140MHz (?) transverter, and have one of the GPIOs switch the power to the transverter and 2/4 switch each of the channels of the AD9361 from direct ant to transverter (with separate antenna connectors).
You can do the same with an external transverter but it would be cool to have it all integrated in one portable device.
can someone please tell me which board is a better buy. the b200 or the E110? and why?
thank you
What model thinkpad does he use?
Hi. Can I use this device for receiving AIS (161,975 MHz) and Mode S signals (978 MHz) at the same time using 2 RF ports on the board? 1 RF port for AIS signals and 2 RF for Mode S signals
I noticed you are using SDR Play software. I don't particularly like the software, because you can't just type in: 156.8 MHz and then hit the enter key. Unless things have changed? It has been a number of years since I have used SDR play. Do you have a software where you can just type in the frequency and hit the enter key, like on WinRadio?
Why is the noise figure so high ? (8dB). The AD 9361 has only 2.9 dB so the USRP B210 introduces 5.1 dB noise figure. Can you kindly explain why ?
Hi, good evening.
Can you open TETRA?
Can any1 please tell me how to display the signals from antenna to my PC . Which software to use?.for.windows ..i have a usrp b210 please help
Wait, how did they spot him in the middle of the night and send cop? Did they somehow figured out he is receiving radio signals?
How many milliwatts can it transmit? My BladeRF only does 3 milliwatt
dont you mean 300mW? 3mW seems very little. im sure you could buy a wideband amplifier
THUNDERBOLT well a little bit closer to 4 milliwatts actually but yeah it's pretty weak. It's useless for anything but lab experiment type stuff.
This guys doing the ISEE-3 Reboot project at the moment isn't he?
That's him.
I see B200 is always connected only with the USB cable. Dont we need a power cable or it is USB powered ?
Needs a power cable for a B210 in MIMO mode, or if you have the optional GPSDO, but it's able to run with USB power otherwise.
Has anyone had any luck getting a response from Takachi regarding a case? I've attempted contact twice via email with no response.
Could you please share these example apps to me?
Thanks :D
any updates
Oh Nice
Can you give your thoughts on using OpenUSRP to emulate non-Ettus hardware (ex. B210)? I'd like to use the Lime SDR (FX3 USB) to run (Labview) Windows applications that utilize the USRP Hardware Driver (UHD) software API..
www.jiangwei.org/2017/07/18/labview-for-limesdr/
I've read SoapyUHD can be used as an alternative to OpenUSRP but I'm not running Labview under ubuntu/arch linux :(

I'm doing Section 4 of the *User Guide* (wiki.myriadrf.org/Lime_Suite) : Install PothosSDR-2018.11.04-vc14-x64.exe and ran the instructions in "Testing the LimeSDR" and "LimeSDR-USB Quick Test" with all the RF ports open:
myriadrf.org/blog/optimising-limesdr-matching-hf/
U.FL Function
RX1_H Channel 1 RX: frequencies above 1.5GHz (RX1_2/RX2_2 = High band specific)
RX2_H Channel 2 RX: frequencies above 1.5GHz
RX1_L Channel 1 RX: frequencies below 1.5GHz (RX1_1/RX2_1 = Low band specific)
RX2_L Channel 2 RX: frequencies below 1.5GHz
RX1_W Channel 1 RX: wideband ( RX1_3/RX2_3 = Broadband 100kHz to 3.8GHz)
RX2_W Channel 2 RX: wideband
TX1_1 Channel 1 TX: primary (Broadband all frequencies) /
TX2_1 Channel 2 TX: primary (Broadband all frequencies)
TX1_2 Channel 1 TX: secondary (Broadband all frequencies) /
TX2_2 Channel 2 TX: secondary (Broadband all frequencies)
RX1_1/RX2_1 = Low band specific < 1.5GHz
RX1_2/RX2_2 = High band specific > 1.5GHz
RX1_3/RX2_3 = Broadband 100kHz to 3.8GHz
Using EXTIO-based programs (ex. HDSDR) don't work either! Is it possible I need to reprogram (LimeSDR-USB_Board_Programming)?
wiki.myriadrf.org/Getting_Started_with_LimeSDR-USB_and_LimeSuiteGUI
ditto.
It could be the ideal, but rather expensive instrument for amateur radio-observer, but there's no CB band unfortunately (27 MHz).
Most SDRs don't have the CB band or indeed any coverage below about 60 MHz. The ones that are aimed at radio hams or others that use these bands have frequency converters before the SDR front end.
cant I pretty much do all of this with a 20 dollar dongle?
Yep. Also looks like a 9dBi antenna as well. 40 bucks and you're up and running :)
Yeah, you could do some of it, though the dongles are 8-bit resolution at 2.5 Msps. This is 12 bit resolution with over 50 Msps, not to mention better phase noise for the LO and sample clock, reference stability, etc. Not even in the same ballpark.
Louis Brown The dongles still follow the 90/10 rule. 90% of the functionality at 10% of the cost.
Adam Stouffer Could look at it this way though, comparing a B200 to the dongle, 20x real-time bandwidth, 16x dynamic range, 3x RF bandwidth. So it's 1000x performance for 30x cost. I have a few paging transmitter near me, so I need all the effective number of bits I can get.
In all practicality, I'd have to say the general enthusiast wouldn't really require something this beefy. Sure, it's 1000x performance, but it's overkill for someone looking for ADSB or running a right-circular polarized antenna for NOAA sat. It's not a matter of what's better or worse, it's really just a matter of need over want and practicality over requirement.
