Today at the makerspace I managed to make my $200 SDR receive and play FM radio with only 4 hours of work! To be fair a decent chunk of that was fighting pulseaudio/alsa. And also Iβd never tried GNURadio companion before. #tinkering
Fully sympathise, radio was always quite alien to me and I miss basic skills like soldering etc... yet I decided the best way to learn is to build a LoRa gateway π Slowly, slowly getting there...
