Loved the video topic, more people should learn about this! That being said, if powerusers are looking for a 'stronger' software that enables quite a bit more for a skill ceiling, looking into SDRAngel. From a tactical perspective aside from tracking you can also; - Listen to all unencrypted voice channels (Baofeng bois I'm looking at you) - Receive weather satellite images in case TV/Internet shuts down - Decode most digital forms of communication (Police typically use P-25 Phase 2 for comms) - Locate signal locations using KerberosSDR Honestly the sky's the limit and I'm still learning a lot as well!
Wow thanks a lot for this man! I decided to try out SDRAngel out of curiosity and it beats the hell out of e.g. SDRSharp or even gqrx! This is great, thanks
@@FreeStyleSloth ha my reply was half tongue in cheek. It absolutely it the closest you'll get to "bare metal", but unless you're doing something completely new, there's probably a tool that already exists. SDRAngel was a great suggestion though!
Thank you both. I'm really not sure why this dude thinks his audience are mentally handicapped and need their hands held, but it's getting kind of annoying, especially when he hasn't offered anything new to the community in a long time.
Like most former mil aviation folks I'm always looking up and seeing what is overhead. A number of times I've seen light general aviation craft making orbits every 10-15 minutes. after the 4th or 5th time stopped what I was doing and glassed the A/C and it had something hanging off the port side the length of the A/C. Reminded me of a side looking lidar. Love these vids. You're taking me back in time 🙂
GA pilot - for check rides you have to demonstrate ground based maneuvers and racetrack patterns and turns around a point are some of the maneuvers that have to be demonstrated. As far as the pod - there are quite a few luggage pods and even an instrument pod called a Level BOM that feeds attitude and compass info to a tablet in the cockpit.
There is a tool to pass ADSB, AIS, and a few other automatic reporting protocol contacts to an Atak server, that it then pushes out to connected clients.
This is amazing information. Getting into stuff like this as a lone wolf civilian can be pretty intimidating. Now I have a better idea of what I can and want to do. Amazing channel.
We traded out or tough books for "ruggedized" iPads. Screens would crack if you even thought about dropping them and they would overheat and shutdown anytime they were in the sun; sometimes in our hands
Saw an AWACS style aircraft flying a pattern over St. Louis the other day on my flight tracker app. Crazy! Thanks for the info keep it coming. I’d love to see a full setup running everything into a pi or tough book. I dream of a setup like that.
As a systems admin for a non-profit, cannibalizing parts and setting up windows to run correctly is a way of life. Although I did convince the VPs to spring for vxrail - soon, soon.
I work at the Panasonic National Repair Center, so keep rocking those tough books!!! But please don't send in that CF-19. I HATE working on those! You should check out the CF-20. Super thin and light
I must have tuned in to you guys (no pun intended) about a week ago as thats when I started messing with this stuff...really good video, thank you for the awesome content as always. keep it up
Mobile SIGINT isn't complete without an hour of QB luv, and motion sickness. Oh, and sweating and cursing. I love the homebrew kit. The decryption/tuner and reciever software that is open source now was the stuff of Clancy novels when I was in. SIGINT is definitely a bellwether for technological progress. Great video and good info. It definitely takes me back. Back to what, I can't remember, but it was fun while I was there. Keep passing the info along. This is a great hobby/occupation of you have the patience for it. From a retired 98G/35P.
GREAT video! EMCON next? Be a short video. Anyway, I noted a few hands getting a tad discouraged. Still cheerful though, always a good sign. So, let me say this: just about anybody can do this. The only serious hurdle is the sometimes cranky software, and you'll get there eventually. Can you operate the radio in your car? You don't NEED a lot of prior knowledge to get a dongle radio working. Here's what you DO need: The dongle. Some wire, any old scrap will do, A usb cable. (a fancy one is nice, but you can grab one later. A small assortment of paperclips An alligator clip lead, a couple of feet long is nice. Install SDR# and while you're there, get their manual, the best one in the world of free stuff, imo. And it explains jargon as it is introduced, which is SOP everywhere but, ummm, planet SDR, I guess. Ok, you've blown your pocket change on this stuff. Let's make it work. First - straighten out some paperclips until you find one that just slips into the little hole where the antenna cable goes. DO NOT FORCE THIS. (you guys that are stroking out right now? You'll live.) If it doesn't just slip in, keep looking. Set that aside for now, take your wire and stretch it out, make sure it reaches the radio. Take the other end and get it up in the air, just knot the end around a curtain rod or something. Use tape. The wire doesn't care. Back at the computer, strip an inch or two of insulation off the wire. Now use the alligator clips and connect the wire to the paperclip. Or just twist em together. Just make the connection as good as you can. Plug the dongle into the pc. Launch SDR#. At the left shoul be a tab. Open it, and at the top is a drop down with types of radios. Scroll that puppy and find "RTL-SDR USB", and click it. Hit the "play" button. Tuning is easy - it's getting your numbers in the right place, first. But anyway, refer to the manual, or a vid. Tune in between 88 and 108 Mhz. You should see all sorts of bright streaks in the lower half of the screen, and big wide humps up top. Click on one. You should be hearing a local FM station. *Yawn* Big deal, right? Well, just keep tuning above 108. No too far above that, you'll get civil aviation, planes and ATC. Go up into the 160 mhz region, you'll find NOAA weather radio. Back down around 140ish you'll find hams and law enforcement, etc. This "zone" is the middle of VHF, and even if you're in a big city, you'll probably find stuff. You'll need to get that antenna outside and up in the air, though. If you can't find ANYTHING, check your antenna and the connection. Then the software connection. That's it. You're operating an intercept station. Next is antennas. But the fanciest antenna is still just a piece of wire. Usually. And you can say hello to Ohm's Law and that fun stuff later.
I've fiddled with adsb a lot. I love planeplotter, but a better option is adsb-scope. May be hard to find as I think its somewhat niche but its my go to software now, no internet required, completely free. I can relay more info if you want, but should be worth a little research
Toughbooks are great. Even older models are very much usable today if you are willing to run Linux. I have CF 30 that in theory can run 64bit win 10 but the OS is so heavy and uses most of system resources to data mine and phone home you cant do anything with it. With Arch Linux build it runs 100% fine. Hard drive heaters are only useful when you are using mechanical drives, which there is no reason to use because SSD's have become so much cheaper and are direct upgrade. SSD's dont have finicky mechanisms inside that would require heating so the element is just wasting battery power.
Just so you know, it didn't look like you covered it but maybe I missed it, RTL1090 Scope does load a basic overview map if you don't want to pay for PlanePlotter. I got to it by clicking left mouse a few times on the scope screen.
What you might do is you use multiple computers to run multiple SDRs. Though a scanner is certainly a great asset. The M1 is suited for this, as an individual sensor or sensors platform, as just one of its roles, and being that it is a fanless / sdd design, one could make the claim that it uncomplicates things dramatically. Another option is the humble android TV box which can give you some bang for your buck (hint, usb ports and other stats / i/o should be optimized for performance cost ratio. more usb mem / storage being the sweet spot. and the 1 is none thing too. so to including OS environment version and development is recommended), and can easily be integrated into a 24 /12 / 5 / dc power system to run off USB distribution (something I'm starting to warm too). Seems I may have just seen something about what looked like a tv box running linux, which could be a very useful tool also.
@@SpookyLurker ADS-B exchange. For whatever reason it didn't turn off it's transponder. It was either a UAV or some other surveillance aircraft. Idk what else is flying at 56k feet anyway.
Also, ADS-B is only good for civil aircraft and military flights that are in transit or otherwise not engaged in combat. Combat aircraft (fighters, bombers, special mission aircraft) turn off their ADS-B transmitters when they are engaged in operations. Just pay attention to the airspace around Ukraine these days on ADS-B apps. U.S. F-16s and F-15s go right up to Ukraine airspace and "disappear" (probably just in a holding pattern waiting for SHTF) and then "reappear" when they're headed home or hitting the tanker for gas.
You absolutely don't need any ads-b data in war conditions, for tactical use whatsoever. There are no ads-b radars on enemy air planes, as well as on friendly ones. Sigint , elint, comint is what you do. You look for drones, gps jammers, uhf, vhf, satcom, military radios, radars, and lots of other stuff in the most unexpected parts of the spectrum. Cheers from Ukraine
Could you go into p25 decoding and scanning? Or even how to listen to trunked systems? We should be able to listen in on police activity to hear what’s going on out there. Also, I’ve seen some people go into how to encrypt transmissions using multiple devices to retransmit and encrypt/decrypt
Have you looked into passive radar using SDR? You can use existing radio stations to bounce waves off of aircraft.. and track them. I'm new here, maybe you covered this previously. Great stuff!
Used to be fun however where times social context has a large amount of standard perception where today social are divided onto various level of awareness even with strategic design post distributional link to the main system another source with the main income stream still worthless >>>
had to go back to windoze on the laptop I use for radio. all the sdr, radio and scanner programming software, and antenna modeling software are written for it. you could probably kludge stuff together and get it kind of working, but who has time for that.
love this content. keep er comin. maybe you can do something showing stuff you can do about the drone issue since part 107 faa nazis are out now? remote id is going to be taking off soon and im sure this wont be tracked the same as conventional aircraft. at least not at first. id love to see what you have to say about this.
For linux try dragon os/focal from an encrypted usb lock. The lock is a 10 button hardware usb key with local storage. It puts the password key in hardware before a boot iso
The reason for the inconsistencies when installing software is that a lot of those SDRs have been forged out of chineseium and are fake and use different internal components. So drivers and libraries will look for ROMs on the SDR's board that aren't there because it was a replication.
Can you do a series on using Linux? I've been running Mint for a few years but without the windows-esque desktop I'd be lost. I know no terminal commands.
That's beyond the scope of this channel imo and there's already an ocean of resources on that topic elsewhere. What I'd recommend you do is just try to use the terminal for as many tasks as possible to familiarize yourself.
Note for the comunity plugins version: CalicoCAT and Omnirig links are currently 404 so until this is resolved you will want to deselect those in the installer or installation will not complete.
Thanks for making this accessible to us masses! One suggestion, explain how you got the usable map that just magically appeared between 29:34 and 29:36. I am sure I will figure something out eventually but for now the map is not very useful.
S2, as a side note, you've changed your system setting to show file extensions. By default, win10 hides them. So, unless someone goes in and changes their preferences, they are NOT going to see the .exe extension....
S2 any thought of making a forum for like minded individuals to talk together? Also to have yourself and your team there to assist would be a big help. Not sure if you already have this or not but as always great videos. Sad they surpass any intel brief I've ever sat through.
Yeah, but those state department briefs are a hoot, ain't they? I mean the part where they put up a map of the worst parts of town, where all the "worst" bars and clubs are at, threaten everybody with Captain's mast (article 13? NJP) if they're caught there........and then give you cab company phone numbers and what train to take when you exfil. Yeah, the good ole days!

Windows 10/11 default security does not give ordinary users the ability to install to the C drive, unless they have admin priviledges. As a safety procedure, which often blocks malware. This is documented, not random.
Love the heatsinks on the neSDR xD Was reading "the case is the heat sink" alot but naaaah not that hot pls. On the good old Alfa sticks it was vital to cut the case and put a sink on the chip or they stopped after a few minutes of replay or what ever attack ^^
Try sdrangel, the signals interface is quite interesting I especially enjoy the time domain analysis vs frequency in a 3d graph. And the wonderful ability to incorporate massive extendable filtering
it says in the release notes for Jetvision "Version 1" that it's deprecated (they spell it "depreciated", but it's deprecated), and that you can't use it to Multilaterate aircraft as a Ground Station.
You can move to an SSD on the ToughBook and remove the heater. Much longer battery runtime. Ditto if you swap the CCFL tubes with LED strips - hurry on that, they come out of China, and supplies and access are probably limited and running out...
There is an argument to have specific equipment for explicit solutions. We are not at the point for wide-band reception to bring out multiple channels.
the processor in the surface is inside the base, so unless you want to use it as a laptop it wont be significantly faster than your tablet. I use a high end one on a daily basis.
There's one that needs some love, esp. for linux noobs like myself. An installer package and some sort of self-launching to compile the tools would be nice. A windoze version would be best but I know that won't happen.
Absolutely love what you guy's are doing and this video and the 2 prior are extremally good info for what's coming. Having said that, my SDS sharp only hears static. Even in UHF/VHF no mater what antenna I use. I have a UHF/VHF antenna on my roof that I use with my radio set up. It wont even get NOAA signals that I obviously hear with my radio. So, Did I not buy the appropriate dongle? I bought 2 of the Nooelec NESDR's with the two antenna bundle on amazon that you referenced. It actually tracked Airplanes in Plane plotter but I get nothing but static with the SDS sharp. Should I have purchased the RTL-SDR for radio only? Any advice would be great, I am not a computer guy but the Plane plotter worked so I must have missed a step or something? Also note worthy is in the source drop down on my SDS sharp, there is no option for an NESDR dongle, not sure why or if it even matters? Thank you all!
Can you make one on underwater surveilence? My guess it some if not all of the countries on the baltic sea probably could have picked up who did what to the pipelines.
My system shows both ADSB and mode-S. I can receive up to 400Km; even on a compromised antenna. I have local access to the rPI to view data. Yes, it is streamed globally; but I can see this data locally, as long as home network is working.
Excuse my ignorance, still learning how to use some of these concepts. Can everything shown in this video be used offline? If I were to be running this in the field, would I need an internet connection or does the SDR antenna take care of that? Mainly curious about the plane plotter portion.
Billions of dollars compares to the hardware store because all of the large countries including the US waste a massive amount of their budget due to corruption
Keep fighting the good fight S2U

Can you do a series on using Linux? I've been running Mint for a few years but without the windows-esque desktop I'd be lost. I know no terminal commands.
That's beyond the scope of this channel imo and there's already an ocean of resources on that topic elsewhere. What I'd recommend you do is just try to use the terminal for as many tasks as possible to familiarize yourself.

Note for the comunity plugins version: CalicoCAT and Omnirig links are currently 404 so until this is resolved you will want to deselect those in the installer or installation will not complete.
thank you, I was so lost kept trying to download it thinking I did something wrong
Thanks for making this accessible to us masses! One suggestion, explain how you got the usable map that just magically appeared between 29:34 and 29:36. I am sure I will figure something out eventually but for now the map is not very useful.
Fantastic intro to concept video
Thx for video from Poland. Just shared it.
S2, as a side note, you've changed your system setting to show file extensions. By default, win10 hides them. So, unless someone goes in and changes their preferences, they are NOT going to see the .exe extension....
The beginning of this video gives me flashbacks to my A-School for being a CTR lol 😂
4:50 The heatsinks!! That's what mine needs desperately. It won't run for long before overheating and seizing.
Great video, thank you !
S2 any thought of making a forum for like minded individuals to talk together? Also to have yourself and your team there to assist would be a big help. Not sure if you already have this or not but as always great videos. Sad they surpass any intel brief I've ever sat through.
Yeah, but those state department briefs are a hoot, ain't they? I mean the part where they put up a map of the worst parts of town, where all the "worst" bars and clubs are at, threaten everybody with Captain's mast (article 13? NJP) if they're caught there........and then give you cab company phone numbers and what train to take when you exfil.
Yeah, the good ole days!
@@gooshy8312 What Command says: "Here is a list of the locations that are banned for attendance. Don't get caught going there, you will be punished." What the enlisteds hear: "Here is a list of the best places to go. Don't get caught."
loving dump1090 and virtual radar if you have access to a roof. also been messing with SDRangel's ads/b setup
Windows 10/11 default security does not give ordinary users the ability to install to the C drive, unless they have admin priviledges. As a safety procedure, which often blocks malware. This is documented, not random.
Love the heatsinks on the neSDR xD Was reading "the case is the heat sink" alot but naaaah not that hot pls. On the good old Alfa sticks it was vital to cut the case and put a sink on the chip or they stopped after a few minutes of replay or what ever attack ^^
Look man I'm just a dumb roughneck that happens to see what's coming in the near future and I really appreciate the work you're doing
This was an awesome presentation!
Try sdrangel, the signals interface is quite interesting I especially enjoy the time domain analysis vs frequency in a 3d graph. And the wonderful ability to incorporate massive extendable filtering
Great video. I miss the intro you used to do.
1st time video today & Apache fly over my Navajo self...co-inc
it says in the release notes for Jetvision "Version 1" that it's deprecated (they spell it "depreciated", but it's deprecated), and that you can't use it to Multilaterate aircraft as a Ground Station.
You can move to an SSD on the ToughBook and remove the heater. Much longer battery runtime. Ditto if you swap the CCFL tubes with LED strips - hurry on that, they come out of China, and supplies and access are probably limited and running out...
USMC 2651 here!! 🤫🐿😉
mornin sir
There is an argument to have specific equipment for explicit solutions.
We are not at the point for wide-band reception to bring out multiple channels.
the processor in the surface is inside the base, so unless you want to use it as a laptop it wont be significantly faster than your tablet. I use a high end one on a daily basis.
Have you taken a look at DragonOS? It is a linux based OS for SDR. Have a good day!
There's one that needs some love, esp. for linux noobs like myself. An installer package and some sort of self-launching to compile the tools would be nice.
A windoze version would be best but I know that won't happen.
Gap: integrating all this information. and warning on deviations.
Absolutely love what you guy's are doing and this video and the 2 prior are extremally good info for what's coming. Having said that, my SDS sharp only hears static. Even in UHF/VHF no mater what antenna I use. I have a UHF/VHF antenna on my roof that I use with my radio set up. It wont even get NOAA signals that I obviously hear with my radio. So, Did I not buy the appropriate dongle? I bought 2 of the Nooelec NESDR's with the two antenna bundle on amazon that you referenced. It actually tracked Airplanes in Plane plotter but I get nothing but static with the SDS sharp. Should I have purchased the RTL-SDR for radio only?
Any advice would be great, I am not a computer guy but the Plane plotter worked so I must have missed a step or something? Also note worthy is in the source drop down on my SDS sharp, there is no option for an NESDR dongle, not sure why or if it even matters?
Thank you all!
Excellent Content…
From your problem descriptions, it sounds like you've been having directory permission problems. Hope things get smoother for you.
Could just need "install as administrator" or install for all users
@@billgarand5663 Yeah, if you missed that some of the sdr programs will drive you nuts trying to figure out what is the matter with them.
Can you make one on underwater surveilence?
My guess it some if not all of the countries on the baltic sea probably could have picked up who did what to the pipelines.
Linux isn't difficult either... sudo apt install rtl-sdr gqrx. How is that hard?
Dump1090 is also good. There are multiple ways to run it. A web page with map or a text only mode
rm -R *
@@oibal60 How is that funny.
Thats Jonesboro (JBR) where I do live and let me tell you we get interesting traffic.
My system shows both ADSB and mode-S. I can receive up to 400Km; even on a compromised antenna.
I have local access to the rPI to view data.
Yes, it is streamed globally; but I can see this data locally, as long as home network is working.
Great stuff. Thanks folks!
Excuse my ignorance, still learning how to use some of these concepts. Can everything shown in this video be used offline? If I were to be running this in the field, would I need an internet connection or does the SDR antenna take care of that? Mainly curious about the plane plotter portion.
Billions of dollars compares to the hardware store because all of the large countries including the US waste a massive amount of their budget due to corruption
Awesomely informative as always. Do you have any recommended model of Toughbook to look at?
This is excellent
Wish there was a way to use meshtastic to data link multiple ADSB scanning SDRs.
Great channel
