I ordered an RTL-SDR kit, and a flipper zero for no real reason other than a fun distraction. Can’t wait to get neck deep into a couple of new, vaguely tangential hobbies.

Anyone have tips for a new #sdr or #flipperzero owner? I mean besides “be careful traveling with the flipper” as I’ve read a few horror stories of airport experiences and police confiscation. I only have white-hat intentions as I want a better understanding of RF, and various protocols.

@joshooaj If you can connect your #SDR to your Smartphone you can install a RTL-SDR driver

and use the app #RFAnalyzer

Next time I'm near the sea or a big river I will use the app #AisCatcher

Have fun!

@kdkeller looks fun, thanks! I have a spare android device so I’ll definitely give these a try.
