    Title : Creating Wide Area Composite Images with WXtoIMG + Weather
    Satellite Failure Updates

    Content : With so many independent people receiving weather
    satellite images from the NOAA satellites daily, an interesting
    collaborative task is to stitch these images together to create
    a wide area composite image. Fortunately the WXtoIMG software
    already has stitching as a feature.

    Title : Using an RTL-SDR, RF Fingerprinting and Deep Learning to
    Authenticate RF Devices

    Content : Every device that transmits radio waves has a unique and identifiable RF fingerprint which occurs due to the very slightly
    variations in the hardware manufacturing process. This means that
    devices using identical transmitters of the same make and model
    can still be differentiated from one another.

    Title : LimeRFE WSPR Tests

    Content : The LimeRFE is a power amplifier and filter bank solution
    designed for the low cost TX capable LimeSDR software defined
    radios. It has multiple bands from HF all the way up to 3.5 GHz,
    and is capable of putting out about 2W on the HF bands. Currently
    LimeRFE is crowdfunding over on CrowdSupply with a cost of US$599
    or alternatively there is now a cheaper unit for US$449 without
    support for the cellular bands. The campaign is active for 4 more
    days from the time of this post, and after that the price is due
    to rise by another US$100.

    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 : Updated Meteor M-N2-2 Tutorial and Decoder Now Available

    Content : Thank you to Happysat for submitting the following
    information about the updated LRPT decoder for Meteor M-N2-2. He has
    also provided a link to his very useful Meteor Satellite reception
    tutorial .

    Title : Kickstarter for a Lower Cost Laboratory Grade RF Broadband
    Noise Generator

    Content : UPDATE: John wanted to add the following clarification:


    Title : YouTube Video: Information Packed Introduction to SDR

    Content : Over on YouTube Nick Black has uploaded a video where
    he does a good introduction to software defined radio (SDR), SDR
    history, how SDR works, various SDR concepts like sampling and
    bandwidth, different SDR hardware, the SDR Linux stack and reverse
    engineering wireless signals.

    Title : PiSDR Image Gains PlutoSDR Support

    Content : [ @Lugigi Cruz ] has announced on twitter that his latest
    PiSDR image now includes full PlutoSDR support. PiSDR is a pre-built
    Raspberry Pi distribution that supports several SDRs including the
    RTL-SDR. It comes with many applications and libraries ready for you
    to use some of which include GQRX and GNURadio Companion. PiSDR is
    available on [ GitHub ] and just needs to be burned to an SD card
    to be used. The PlutoSDR is a low cost (typically priced anywhere
    between $99 – $149 depending on sales) RX/TX capable SDR with
    up to 56 MHz of bandwidth and a 70 MHz to 6 GHz frequency range.
