General Meeting – May 2022 – SDR applications: Ways to use the RF “Swiss Army Knife”

SDR applications: Ways to use the RF “Swiss Army Knife” – Jack Spitznagel KD4IZ

It is common knowledge that SDR devices make interesting and economical receivers and transceivers, but what else are they really good for? I will describe several of the many alternative uses for the spectrum scope and waterfall diagrams that are provided by SDR software.

Hopefully these bonus uses will help make you a better operator.
