[amsat-bb] SDR Play [ NEW SDR RECEIVER. 2 GHz, 8MHz bandwidth under $300 USD ]

[Stefan Wagener]

Thanks Ray,


The other option is the new HackRF which is actually a SDR transceiver. I
am currently using it with SDR Console V2.2 and Simon is currently working
making the TX function supported within the software. Right now I am using
GNU Radio to experiment with TX. Cost is $299 but be prepared to spend some
money on additional filtering and amplification.
