Title : Using SDR For QO-100 Satellite Operation

Content : Es’hailsat, otherwise known as QO-100 is the first geostationary satellite with an amateur radio payload on-board. The
satellite contains both a Wide Band transponder for experimental
modes and DVB-S Digital Television and a Narrow Band transponder
used mostly for SSB voice and some digital mode contacts with other
amateur operators. If you’re unfamiliar with this satellite
we’ve covered it in previous articles, like in [ Es’hail Transponder Now Active ]

Title : YouTube Review of the RS-918: A Chinese Clone of a Clone
of the mcHF SDR

Content : Over on YouTube  Kevin Loughin  has uploaded a video
reviewing the "Recent RS-918" which is a Chinese clone of the popular
mcHF open source SDR transceiver made by Chris (M0NKA). The mcHF
is a well known small and inexpensive home brewed open source HF
QRP SDR that was started back in 2013. It's sold either as a kit
for 236.82 GBP (US$287), or with metal enclosure at 292.78 GBP
