    Title : Upcoming KerberosSDR Software Updates: Automatically Estimate
    TX Location and Navigate There

    Content : KerberosSDR is our 4x Coherent RTL-SDR that we've
    developed together with Othernet. It can be used for tasks such as
    direction finding and passive radar. KerberosSDR was successfully
    crowdfunded over on Indiegogo, and the first batch has already
    been shipped. Currently we are taking  discounted pre-orders
    for a second production batch on Indiegogo . Please note that the
    discounted pricing will expire when we ship, which according to
    the manufacturing schedule should be next month, so please get in
    quick if you're interested!

    Title : Signals and Bits A New SDR Podcast by the President of the
    GNU Radio Project

    Content : [ Ben Hilburn ] the president of the [ GNU Radio Project ]
    has recently started a new podcast called [ Signals and Bits ]. If
    you were unaware, GNU Radio is the defacto open source framework for implementing digital signal processing code. Without it, many SDR
    programs that we take for granted may have never been developed
    as it is responsible for a lot of community DSP knowledge and
    algorithm development.

    Title : Artemis 3 Released: Offline Signal Identification Database

    Content : The Signal ID Wiki (sigidwiki) is our sister site
    that we started a few years ago as a way to collect and catalog
    various types of signals that an SDR user might see and hear on
    the airwaves. The idea is that a user could search the database to
    learn about and identify unknown signals. Over time it has grown
    significantly, with now almost 400 known signals with both waterfall
    images and sound samples available in the database. Special thanks
    to lead admin Carl Colena for maintaining and playing a huge role
    in the databases' growth.

    Title : rtlSpectrum: A New GUI for rtl_power

    Content : Thank you to Andrey for submitting news about the release
    of his new open source program called "rtlSpectrum" . rtlSpectrum
    is a GUI for rtl_power, which allows you to scan a wide swath of
    bandwidth with an RTL-SDR dongle. The scan can then be plotted with rtlSpectrum, and peaks of activity can then be determined. Some of
    the features include:

    Title : SignalsEverywhere: Creating a 2.4 GHz Amateur Television
    Station with a Barbie Camera

    Content : In this episode Corrosive from the SignalsEverywhere
    YouTube channel begins a series on reverse engineering an old 90's
    Barbie branded 2.4 GHz wireless camcorder toy, and using it for
    Amateur Radio TV. The camcorder toy consists of the wireless camera,
    and a base station that plugs into a TV.

    Title : Two Antenna Diversity For the SDRPlay RSPDuo now Available
    in SDRUno

    Content : The SDRplay RSPDuo is a 14-bit dual tuner software defined
    radio capable of tuning between 1 kHz - 2 GHz. It's defining feature
    is that it has two receivers in one radio, which should allow for
    interesting phase coherent applications such as diversity.

    Title : Meteor M N2-2 Successfully Launched: Awaiting LRPT Signal

    Content : On July 5 the Russian Meteor M N2-2 weather satellite was successfully launched into orbit and appears to be healthy. The
    LRPT weather camera signal is not yet broadcasting however, and
    we expect it to still take roughly 1-2 months before it begins (if
    all goes well) as satellites typically run through a long list of
    qualification tests before becoming operational. During this time
    there may be broadcasts of test patterns that can be caught. Meteor
    M N2-2 can currently be tracked in Orbitron and online at N2YO .

    Title : Homebrew SDR Transceiver for HF Operation

    Content : Traditionally when we think about Software-Defined Radio
    we’re thinking about little USB adapters that unlock a world
    of radio in the palm of our hands. This is done by allowing us to
    directly sample the IQ data from the mixer within the SDR.
