At our July meeting, club member Wayne Smith, Ph.D. (N6LHV) gave a talk about Software Defined Radios. Wayne demonstrated how a $25 USB dongle designed to receive digital TV broadcasts can be used as an inexpensive SDR and spectrum analyzer.
Professor Wayne demonstrated how,
unlike current scanners, his SDR is able to decode MotoTrbo (DMR), NextEdge and Pro-Voice digital radio protocols.
