Steve, One of the mailing lists that I subscribe to for this app is air...@groups.io They discuss a lot of info about the app and one device they designed to work specifically withy it. There are a number of other groups, some related, that cover SDR software and hardware across multiple platfor

AirSpy can be started as a system service. I use the USB cheap dongles (2 of them, with one having a built-in downconverter). I don’t use any transmitter for this, strictly receive. Btw, there is an AirSpy mailing list as well as an RTL/SDR mailing list among several others. For what I do here,

Re: Raspberry Pi uses on a home network

I did the same actually at one point, bought a nice discone antenna from the UK and put in my window, more trying to hack my car with its legacy keyfob and crappily insecure radios from the mid/late 2000's. I didn't get too involved, as I'm a crappy code guy, but was kinda fun to experience coming

Re: Raspberry Pi uses on a home network

There is another use for the RaspberryPi that I have found. I use an SDR here (Software defined radio) and the Pi is perfect for running the control software for network connections to the device. The software (available on all platforms) is called AirSpy. The pi is perfect for projects like thi

Re: Raspberry Pi uses on a home network

I'm also in the process of setting up a PiHole server. In the reading I've done so far (and as I understand things), the Pihole server would block any DNS requests to the ad server itself. So, the ad would never be retrieved onto your network in the first place. Websites can detect if you have

Raspberry Pi uses on a home network

I've been offered a Raspberry P 3B+ with a POE hat, but am having difficulty deciding if I really need it. Currently the uses I can see for it within my home network are: 1. Ubiquiti controller (replacing a cloud controller); 2. Pi hole; 3. Tor relay node; 4. Asterisk server. Would appreciate som
