Hi unknown neighbor. Your weather station is my weatherstation thanks to rtl_433. Thank you.

The hardest thing about software defined radio is explaining to friends and loved ones why this is cool.

Just released my new app, rtl_icecast.

"A command-line application that uses RTL-SDR to receive FM radio signals and stream them to an Icecast server in MP3 format.

The main target usage for this app is to stream your local HAM FM repeater audio to your public shoutcast/icecast server with just a RTL-SDR USB-receiver and for example Raspberry Pi. It can be used to stream broadcast FM too, of course."

This looks very, very cool... Hopefully, I'll get a beta kit. I'm excited to test it out, regardless.

What's a good antenna for RTL SDR v3?

The recommended dipole antenna kit -- https://www.amazon.co.uk/RTL-SDR-Blog-Multipurpose-Dipole-Antenna/dp/B075445JDF -- is out of stock on Amazon UK. Also: Amazon.

I don't (think I) want anything fancy -- just to mess around with.

I had a Wifi antenna connected to it at one point, which worked OK, but now I'm using that for its original purpose.

Not sure how old this is, but AntiX Linux boots up super fast on this old Sony Vaio i7 with 4 gigs of RAM. I'm very impressed with this distro. I've installed a suite of rtl_sdr programs on it and it works great. Fast web browsing, and terminal web browsing using Links2 which I haven't done in a while, just for fun.
Video is of the boot process up to the login screen.

Been trying to receive NOAA APT satellite signals for the past ~week using an rtl-sdr dongle & a basic V-dipole. Yesterday, I ordered and received an LNA to boost the signal. Combined with a pass of NOAA-15 that basically went directly overhead, I was able to pick up this (composite) image. Which did not decode correctly, because clouds do not look like that (I didn't save the raw signal).

But I managed to get a signal, which is progress and very exciting to see!

Sometime down the road I'll build a QFH (a helical antenna) which should dramatically improve the signal quality.
