yea
gottem
feels bad being tech support
for kids
yeah I could tell when he started arguing
banhammer started twitching
_stern look_
you really disagree with that one? really?
I didn't read the backlog
eh, I feel good about it
don't think we're here for tech support
I started off a little interested and excited about what he had in mind as far as project stuff
even if it was like, using the rpi as a soic flasher or something
think he just wanted it for standard kodi shit
that's the sad tragedy of the pi
yeah but you could say that about everything i guess ha.
I was going to use my pi with my rtl-sdr to do some radio stuff but it takes a lot of time
fell by the wayside
even getting it scanning on my PC consistently was a nightmare
SDR stuff is cool
yeah I'd like to improve the antenna some
If I were stuck in the middle of nowhere with just a laptop and a sdr kit I'd be happy
saw a gigantic antenna in a charity shop recently for a few pounds but decided against it
nowhere to put it unless I staple it outside
the extra hardware needed to pick up the HF stuff is a bit of a downer
otherwise you don't really need an antenna
the one that ships with most of the RTL-SDRs is fine for vhf/uhf
I struggle to get decent reception in my building for some reason
even with my baofeng
maybe from being in a tall building
no idea
try a cheap ducky swap first
if you have a repeater nearby use that as a reference
yeah the most I can pick up reliably is a childrens hospital and a local taxi service
