SOFTWARE-DEFINED RADIO REMOTELY utilizing A LINUX wall WART

Here’s a fascinating idea; if the hardware seen above is dropped at a location, you can screen radio signals remotely via the Internet. [MS3FGX] has been toying with the concept for a bit while now. He wished to utilize a DVB dongle with a portable Linux solution to offer Software-Defined Radio (SDR) ability without the requirement to really be there.

The white box is a PWN Plug, a top quality version of the SheevaPlug. The black dongle that plugs into it is a DVB tuner dongle. It’s meant to get television signals over the radio, however just recently the hardware has been utilized as a simple method to implement SDR. integrate the two (along with the antenna), stir in a network connection, as well as you’ve got a remote listening post. What can you listen to? just about anything that’s within the dongle’s bandwidth range. [MS3FGX] mentions walkie-talkie web traffic as well as pager signals, to name just two.

He even composed an installation script that gets you up as well as running in no time.
