Help on How to get started in learning about SDR
Posted: Sun Sep 27, 2015 7:22 pm
So many choices in hardware (SDRPLay, FunCube, BladeRF, Myriad RF (Novena), 1MHz+ HackRF Blue / HamItUp,etc ) and software (SDR#, SDRTouch, Studio1, HDSDR, etc) that it's a bit overwheming!
I'm not 100% sure what I expect to do with SDR (decoding AM/FM Radio sounds pretty cool), so don't want to spend too much (ex.WiNRADiO WR-G39DDCe), yet I also don't want to invest time/money into something I'll outgrow quickly.
Is it possible to use the SDRPlay hardware with the SDR course at GreatScott? If not, is there any beginner tutorial that can work with the SDRPlay?
For example, transmitting might be nice, so that I could decode a couple RF remotes that I have, something like:
http://wiki.beyondlogic.org/index.php?t ... Controller

Any recommendation what hardware/software would be recommended for a total sdr newbie ?
Thanks!
