    Title : An RTL-SDR & SDRplay based WebSDR Designed Specifically
    for QO-100 (Es’Hail-2) Monitoring

    Content : Over on YouTube user [ Radio Electronics ] has uploaded
    a useful video showing how to install your own personal SDRplay or
    RTL-SDR based WebSDR for QO-100 (aka Es'Hail-2) reception. Es'Hail-2
    is the first geostationary satellite with amateur radio transponders
    on board, and is positioned at 25.5┬░E which covers Africa,
    Europe, the Middle East, India, eastern Brazil and the west half
    of Russia/Asia.

    Title : Fenu Radio Reviews the Airspy HF+ Discovery

    Content : The Airspy HF+ Discovery is a smaller, lighter and
    improved version of the Airspy HF+ which is an HF and VHF SDR with
    very high dynamic range. The Discovery builds on the HF+ by adding
    low loss preselectors. This increases the dynamic range even further,
    and allows the Discovery to compete with some very high end (and
    much more expensive) SDRs.

    Title : KerberosSDR App Update: Heatmap + Precise TX Localizing
    & Turn by Turn Navigation Demo Videos

    Content : We have just released an updated version of the
    KerberosSDR Android direction finding app . If you didn't
    already know KerberosSDR is our experimental 4x Coherent RTL-SDR
    product. With it, coherent applications like radio direction finding
    (RDF) and passive radar are possible. Together with the KerberosSDR
    direction finding Android app it is possible to visualize the
    direction finding data produced by a KerberosSDR running on a
    Pi3/Tinkerboard.

    Title : SignalsEverywhere: Creating a DIY Upconverter with a HackRF
    and RF Mixer

    Content : Over on YouTube Corrosive from the SignalsEverywhere
    channel has uploaded a new video showing us how you can make a
    DIY upconverter using a HackRF as a signal source and a cheap $10
    RF Mixer. An upconverter converts lower frequencies into higher
    frequencies. For example, an upconverter is commonly used to convert
    HF signals into VHF, so that VHF/UHF only SDRs can receive HF.

    Title : SignalsEverywhere: Windows 10 usb_open_error -12 Fix

    Content : The process to install an RTL-SDR dongle on Windows
    involves the simple step of running Zadig and installing the generic
    WinUSB drivers to the RTL-SDR, which shows up as "Bulk-In, Interface
    (Interface 0)" in Zadig.

    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.
