Hackaday Prize 2023: A software-defined radio with real buttons and switches
When cheap digital TV dongles activated radio passionate has together up software defined radio (DTS) systems has almost zero cost, he cause A revolution In THE amateur radio world: NOW anybody could adjust In has any of them frequency, with any of them modulation type, by just pointing And by clicking In A computer program. While This without a doubt do exploring THE radio waves a lot more accessible, We can imagine that a few people miss THE feeling of manipulate physical buttons on A radio while hunting For that A to faint signal In A sea of noise. If You are A of those people, You are In chance: [Kaushlesh VS.] has built A portable, autonomous DTS system with real buttons And switches, called DTS Dock 1.0.
THE heart of THE system East A Raspberry Pi running GQRX, A Open source DTS program that supports a lot different RF modules. [Kaushlesh] used A Aerial spy HF+ Discovery, A compact RECIPIENT that can work THE HF And VHF bands, but It is easy has to modify THE DTS Dock has accept other types as those omnipresent RTL dongles. A seven inches LCD screen screen with integrated speakers shapes THE main to go out device, with All powered by A 10,000 mAh lithium polymer battery.
All of This East pretty neat Already, but THE real beauty of THE DTS Dock East In It is pregnant. It is A 3D printed case with A swivel handle on THE side, A antenna connector has THE high And A practical user interface has THE in front. There are push buttons has change device settings, rotary buttons For frequency setting And volume control, And sliders has adjust things as earnings And bandwidths. All of these are read out by A ESP32 which communicated with THE Pi through I2C.
As A Open source design, All East of course fully customizable, Since THE radio RECIPIENT type has THE functions of those dials And switches. THE simple, user-friendly design should Also TO DO he A ideal DTS system For absolute beginners. It is not [Kaushlesh] First of all portable Pi-based DTS system, However: he is Also submitted A somewhat more hardcore version has This years Cyberdeck competition. For those completely new has THE DTS game, [Josh's] video has THE 2020 Emoticon East A great introduction.
