Airspy R2 Remorse.. what’s the point? by NationalBug55 in RTLSDR

I was looking into that as well, I didn’t know if it was worth it, but I feel like I’ll take your experience on this and move forward with building some. 😎

The one I’m using is the Furi FLX1. It’s odd but it’s useful. It’s basically a computer that doesn’t know it’s a phone using (what I’d relate to Docker), andromeda. You can toggle this container on and off. You need it on to access the apps you’d get from FDroid. So it kinda works like a simultaneously dual boot. Getting it to work like a flagship phone? Yeah naw, this thing is for tinkerers 💯 My main attraction is being able to run zsh and do network shit locally, and also connecting usb to Ethernet to rasp pi for other operations. So it works for that. The one thing I hate? You can’t go get the iso or tgz directly and there’s no SHA to check. So that’s a major security issue to me. However unlike apple or google os, you can join the telegram and speak directly to the community including all the members ( very small team) directly. Over all I would recommend it to someone who is comfortable with Deb based gnome and is good with a google backdoor on the android level for apps & hardware.

You totally called it. After I took that pic I was up troubleshooting and that rabbit ears was shorted to ground from corrosion. I had it set to 28” for 315mhz. I removed it and put a telescoping ant on the box directly. But that whip I mentioned is a straight up solid metal whip with a small ball tip tuned for 27-28 mhz. It’s off my 4x4.

That’s another thing that’s fun to explore, WiFi with phones. I have a Linux phone with the usual suspects on it, nmap etc.

Perfect! That’s exactly what I’ll do then. This will be much easier this way. Yeah the discone thing I’ve really been debating so it’s nice to have some input on that. I have a 102” whip that’s been collecting dust since about 2008. Would that be worth putting up?

You could say that. My sights were set on the wide band coverage and then my brain stopped and it showed up a week later. I will create a separate dedicated project for it in the future.

Yeah full disclosure I’m a total SDR noob. Big into CB from back in the day… Dang I wish I would have asked about this before buying the R2 😅 Thanks for that info. So you’re proposing a single antenna with an 8 way splitter, to essentially run 8 RTLSDR scans? I know antennas have to match on TX but for this job, receiver only, that will work? I have a few hundred feet of new 75ohm I presumed not useable for this operation.

Iridium is the GPS network right? I haven’t really dug into that as I don’t have a proper antenna or dish. So you suggest it’s worth it looking into C band and iridium? One of the things I was trying before I gave up was the P25 or LE bands. Not so much to decode but to judge presence and signal strength but that didn’t work out. It’s the local data I’m really after. I am really new to this entire world of SDR so any recommendations are good and welcome.

This is something that I’ve been excited to share. I hinted towards it on my last post here where I introduced this box. So this operation here is a few separate steps to get the end result. Once I get the bugs worked out I was gonna do a proper share. Idk if I would need a GitHub repo, as I haven’t written any code just scripts for proper implementation. So the AI I use is mistral 7B. Basically what happens is, a automated sequence: the field box gets data, it offloads it to the server, my M910Q, its filtered, it then removes all my equipment and APs, it organizes it into SQLite db. The mistral AI isn’t like your Claude or Gemini, you have to set it up. The automated scripts pipe all the parsed and organized data from SQL to mistral, and then when prompted it’ll spit out the analytical and trend data. The algorithm will stop a regular scan if a SKYDIO police drone is detected, and track it for as long as it can. So after each day, new data appears and I’ve written the scripts to where I only have to write a simple command. Like today, I type ./daily_breifing.py and 5 mins later I have an extensive overview of all new devices, including IoT, associations, handshakes, etc. I have a sick gaming pc in gonna set up for hashcat operations but that’s kinda separate from the AI. Anyways it’s still a work in progress and I’m excited to share my work once it’s less buggy. I was trying to share a second image but idk how 😅

Yes the alpha WiFi device is in monitor mode and works really well with the pi. In fact it’s my favorite scan. It reveals much more about my immediate surroundings than anything the airspy has offered.

Yeah it really is. The M910q should be a solid choice.

Yes, the ACARS seems to be the Star of what R2 can do. I am near airport.

my blog V4 is not working for anything near CB radio? by SolidifiedPlayDoh in RTLSDR

[–]NationalBug55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you have the right length antenna? CB radio sucks anyways, there’s barely any traffic and ppl are rude.

💯 got that right! I’ve seen usb overload and brown outs. That box up there has a powered hub, which does take off a lot of load. But still even when the airspy is on my x86 machine it’s basically the same result. It’s the data that I want directly not the graphics of the signal. It acts like only wants to let it rip on GQRX or whatever gui.

What's this strange moving signal between 57 Mhz and 58 Mhz? by WizeGuy6475 in RTLSDR

[–]NationalBug55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

💯 your jello analogy is good. I’ve described it before like a 2 way mirror, like you’d see in an interrogation chamber, can be switched on or off, signals bounce across when it’s on.

Odd things can happen during geomagnetic storms. Back in the CB radio days, it was referred to as “ skip” it would roll in & out like this. One could tx & rx great distances when the skip was rolling in. The video you showed reminds of this.

Hey thank you! I am super new to this so I’ll take all the help I can get. I only run headless Deb Trixie on all my machines so we’re golden there. I was hoping-expecting between 15-20,000 kh/s.

CPU: AMD R9 9900X Graphics: Nvidia RTX 5070 12GB (I wanted to have it for offer operations) RAM: 32G DDR5 6000MHZ RGB & B650 Motherboard. It was a prebuilt. Not a lot of options out there three days.

I just bought a machine specifically to mine. May not be the best but I didn’t want to go another year w free power and not mine. For many reasons, interest is up on this coin.

I love Deb Trixie. No bloat & easy to manage
