    Title : Rdio Scanner: A Web Based UI for Trunk Recorder

    Content : Trunk Recorder is an RTL-SDR compatible open source
    Linux app that records calls from Trunked P25 and SmartNet digital
    voice radio systems which are commonly used by Police and other
    emergency services in the USA. It can be used to set up a system
    that allows you to listen to previous calls at your leisure,
    however it does not have any UI for easy browsing.

    Title : Meteor M2 is Currently Experiencing Orientation Issues

    Content : Russian weather satellite Meteor M2 is a popular
    reception target for RTL-SDR radio enthusiasts, as it allows you
    to receive high resolution images of the Earth. However, currently
    it appears to be exhibiting orientation issues, causing off center
    and skewed images and sometimes poor/no reception. Russian blog
    " aboutspacejornal ", writes that the orientation of the satellite
    can sometimes be restored presumably by a reset command from Earth,
    but shortly after goes back into uncontrolled rotation.

    Title : Hak5: Hacking Ford Key Fobs with a HackRF and Portapack

    Content : This weeks episode of Hak5 (an information security themed
    YouTube channel) features Dale Wooden ( @TB69RR ) who joins hosts
    Shannon and Darren to demonstrate a zero day vulnerability against
    Ford keyless entry/ignition. More details about the vulnerability
    will be presented at this years DEF CON 27 conference, which is
    due to be held on August 8 - 11.

    Title : SignalsEverywhere: SDR Bias-Tee’s and Enabling the
    V3 Bias Tee

    Content : Today's video from Corrosive on the SignalsEverywhere
    YouTube channel discusses Bias Tee's. He explains what they're used
    for, and how to enable them on various SDRs. In particular he shows
    how to use the software to enable the bias tee on our RTL-SDR Blog
    V3 dongles. A bias tee allows you to power antenna side devices like
    low noise amplifiers by putting DC voltage on the coaxial cable.

    Title : Using a Software Defined Radio to Send Fake Presidential
    Alerts over LTE

    Content : Modern cell phones in the USA are all required to support
    the Wireless Emergency Alert (WEA) program, which allows citizens
    to receive urgent messages like AMBER (child abduction) alerts,
    severe weather warnings and Presidential Alerts.

    Title : Raspberry Pi 4 Released: Improvements to CPU, Networking,
    USB, RAM and more

    Content : The Raspberry Pi is the most popular credit sized
    computing board in the world. It is commonly used as a low cost and
    portable computing platform for SDRs like the RTL-SDR. Today the
    Raspberry Pi 4 was released , bringing us a new US$35 single board
    computer with many improvements. Some of the main improvements that
    make the Pi 4 great for software defined radios are listed below:

    Title : New Products in Store: RadarBox ADS-B Bundle Including
    Outdoor ADS-B Antenna and ADS-B Optimized RTL-SDR Dongle

    Content : A while back we posted about flight tracking company
    RadarBox.com who had launched their 1090 MHz ADS-B optimized
    RTL-SDR. Like other ADS-B optimized RTL-SDR's, the dongle contains
    a 1090 MHz filter and a low noise amplifier that reduces the noise
    figure, resulting in better SNR, and thus more planes spotted at
    further distances.

    Title : SignalsEverywhere: Decoding Inmarsat EGC and AERO ACARS

    Content : On his latest video Corrosive from the SignalsEverywhere
    YouTube channel discusses Inmarsat LES EGC and AERO ACARS
    decoding. Inmarsat is a satellite provider that has multiple
    geosynchronous satellites that can be received from almost anywhere
    in the world at around 1.5 GHz with an RTL-SDR and appropriate
    antenna + LNA. Inmarsat EGC and AERO are two channels on Inmarsat
    satellites that can easily be decoded.
