you can cut drywall with a utility knife. leaves a little bit cleaner hole. just have to score it then force the knife around the hole, inching it along until you pop out the center
Hi, Paul You video about SDR piqued my interest. So, I'd like to know, what outdoor antenna have you installed and what you'd recommend as a universal for covering the hole rtl-sdr range?
If his contraption gets a direct hit by lightning then he can throw the whole stuff (including the server and God knows what else that he has connected to it) away either way.
He should dive into some serious surge suppressor projects (and probably a lighting rod, ground rod system). Otherwise, you’re right on, it’s instant ewaste.
I guess the necessity of a thicker cable mostly depends on the amount of wire that needs to be used. For a couple meters it's irrelevant, but for a couple dozen meters it definitely does make a difference. And BTW I would've used a saw blade for the drywall instead. It would've looked much cleaner....
The only reason to use, your words.. garden hose cable, if you where transmitting and had a long run of cable, for receiving trash, the cheaper cable works quite well..... I just ordered one of those splitters 4 way, I need to more RTLs ..... You have quite a fine mess there MyFriend.....
I’ve got a raspberry pi running spyserver that has a poe hat in a waterproof box that i mount on my mast - I do use thick coax, but it’s only a meter long. The rest is cat6.
Awesome video. Question, what would be the benefits of using a single HackRf One as the radio for your SDR Server. TO me one of the cons would be the price of the HackRF but the pros may be a simpler setup and the ability to capture 20MHz bw rather than 2Mhz. So it would theoretically take 10 RTL-SDRs to get the same BW as a single HackRf One. A pro of multiple rte-sdr are you can have one audio stream per dongle. How many audio streams can you get from a single HackRf? Trying to create a SDR server to perform the following. I wonder if I could use a single HackRF and a separate dongle for ADS-B: Each Watch Duty Scanner uses a modular architecture that can scale as needed to each deployment location. Our largest scanner to date uses 8 SDRs to capture 16 MHz of RF bandwidth and is processing 75 simultaneous audio channels, merging them into 8 stereo streams organized by agency, while at the same time tracking aircraft positions with ADS-B. We are currently targeting the following RF bands: VHF Airband (108-137 MHz) Public Safety VHF High band (150-174 MHz) ADS-B (1090 MHz) Audio feeds from our Watch Duty Scanners are being shared with the public using Broadcastify.com and the aircraft positions are shared using ADSBExchange which feeds Flight Tracker 24 among others.
Mate that cut out is not how us sparkies do it lol, I would of used a gyprock saw and shoved all your excessive cabling in the wall. You also know they make appliance mechs instead of using a blush plates? I know you like neat cabling, so do I! Looking at your setup I wouldn't of cut an extra hole in the wall but change the 5 gang to a 6. But that's me, each to their own.
Alright me ol' China... 1, "...is not how WE sparkies do it" (not ... how US sparkies do it) 2, "I would HAVE used" (not I would OF used) 3, I will no doubt be changing configurations in the future, so having it the way I did it lets me swap and change without having to worry about different mechs. 4, Extra connectors required for mechs on each side would mean extra cable making/buying. 5, Every added connector along the way won't be perfectly balanced so will have an impedance mismatch, therefore reflecting power 6, Ya Mamma.
@Tradie Trev X number of ways to do the same thing. It worked and looks good. Not everything has to be done your way 🤣 You should know better if you are married or code 🤣
LMR400 is NOT worth the hassle! Spent all day on the hot tin roof replacing the RG58 thinking I'll see a massive signal increase.... nothing but a massive disappointment! it's a pain in the backside to run and terminate not to mention the cost.... stick with the 58 mate!!!!

The LMR 400 comments. Howling!
Great video as ever :)
Yeah, because you know they're a bunch of cunts out there

Oooh a DVB Sat tuner. Been curious to add one to the setup I’ve got but can’t find any online. Where’d you get yours?
Hey mate, have you considered having a look at Kraken SDR? It's essentiallay 5 RTL-sdrs
Awesome Video! Are you going to do something similar to what you did with your multicast TV Tuners? Long time fan - keep the great videos coming!
You're already guessing what's coming up. Keep in mind I'm all IPv6 now... and still multicast ;)
Hi, Paul

A discone. I think I did a video on installing one once
Some fun stuff on the Inmarsat and Iridium bands
You are awesome mate! Question, do you have to ground in case you get a lightning strike?

Those splitters aren't the best in the world, but they were cheap.

I'm not quite sure what question you're getting at.
@@TallPaulTech Can a HackRF One be a suitable replacement for a multi-dongle SDR server?
@@TallPaulTech can the HackRF One be a suitable replacement for multiple rtl-sdr dongles? In your opinion what are the pros/cons?
I've missed what you're using as the server. Is there a video where you build that server?
So where did all your videos go?
8:40 lol
😆 Yeah. Request translation.

Indeed I will. I had no intention of getting LMR400 for this!
i just use a steak knife
Drilling the corners and then using a steak knife is probably an ideal solution
doesn't go to bad as long as you have a decent bit onto both sides of the board, no good if you don't have the pilots though.
