Very nice video! I would encourage everyone to get an SDR dongle and try this. A random-length wire worked great for me - about 60 feet strung horizontally and about 20' up and I was able to receive 160m up through 10m. I am able to pull in stations around the world easily. For receive, an antenna does not necessarily need to be tuned to any particular band. The waterfall is what got me hooked. Once I could see the signals and realized how much is going on, I wanted to understand it all more. That led to me getting my General (but I also have my GMRS license, of course) and moving into digital modes on HF.

I just got my GMRS license and have been watching so many of your videos, I caught myself talking to my wife like you. " I will make dinner...so that YOU...my favorite wife..can rest and read your favorite book." Haha

I've been wondering about these, too. Thanks for taking the time to educate us.

Great overview. With CubicSDR and SDR++ one can have a vfo for each GMRS channel and with squelch adjusted to keep backround noise quiet you can monitor all GMRS simplex frequencies at once. A small fan on the sdr receiver helps keep it running all day. Love your channel.

Thanks for the inspiration, Randy. I've been busy since I saw your video but kept in mind I wanted to get around to trying this. I just got my SDR USB device and have it up and running on MacOS using CubicSDR software. I've so far listened to several FM radio stations and also GMRS-22 while my wife transmitted using my KG-135G. Thanks also for providing the repeaters in our multi-county area.

Randy, as always….Great educational video. I’ve learned a lot on this video on a visual sense. What an amazing tool to have.

I'm glad to see you showing off SDR! I just got mine too and just realized how widespread digital modes are used. My next step is to figure out the Simple DMR plugin on SDR#...

Your video prompted me to dig out an old dongle (blue plastic case labeled "820T2 & SDR") in the project box. Then followed your software suggestion of CubicSDR which showed up in the software manager of Linux Mint 21 on my Dell laptop. Installed via the software manager without any problems. Lots of noise but worked. Some googling suggested putting a metal disk (~24cm dia) under the small (~12cm) antenna that came with the dongle. Another suggestion was to get a USB cable 4/5 feet long and use ferrite beads on this cable so as to get the dongle away from the computer and reduce the noise being picked up. I did both & noise was reduced. Did the FM broadcast station and the NOAA exercise. Also activated a 433MHz remote and it showed up in CubicSDR. Great bang for the buck as a way to see the spectrum usage. Thanks for the video.

Thanks for the review. I am intrigued by this SDR, so I ordered one from Amazon.

I just got the LTR-SDR, your video will be a great help! I also have a Mac.

Wow, expanding your horizons with the SDR stuff.

Thank you. This was the perfect video for installing to my Mac.

I can attest to CubicSDR as a good tool on Linux (Fedora and RHEL here). Works great! Thanks for the vid and mention of Linux.

Great presentation.... You make this subject easy to understand.. Thanks.

Like the shirt! Nice briefing too! Cleared up a few clouds.

Very helpful information for us newbies - thank you! 😀

What a fantastic channel I love the files on your desktop also lol

ive been waiting for you to get into this :) im all ears

Love mine! Running HDSDR on Win 10. Like listening to the party line of yesteryear lol. Thanks for the vid!

I paused the video out of genuine curiousity to see what those icons were on the desktop, then I spat my beer out laughing. Thank you for the explanation and the laughs.

Truthfully, not sure if I'd even have a need for this... But Sensei, I do appreciate your time with the presentation, and lessons learned from it. 👍

This was great - thanks for the tutorial!!

Great vid, Randy! Much obliged.

Thank you for explaining the basics of the SDR Dongle and the demo. The time you have saved me is priceless. Thank you again.🫡 Subscribed...

Very informative Randy, I am now fully trained on SDR dongles. :)

Thanks Randy, great video as usual. I am getting in.

Best Shatner impression EVER...

As soon as you said... "I'm going to plug THIS into my computer" I knew I just should have turned on my ICOM receiver... Lol. Good stuff thanks for posting...

Thanks for the video.

Randy thank you good informative video I think I will order one of these sdr units thanks again

Great video thank you, for your time and effort

just ordered,thanx!

Nice touch with the ATHF legos at the end :D Thanks for the video. I have one of these bad boys in my near future and very psyched about it.

Thank you man❤🎉for the video

Love the poster brother!

I love my SDR, I run HDSDR with Fldigi and MMSSTV for more fun, I use a multi band scanner antenna @ 40ft and a Long Wire antenna for HF. I have a few other digi programs to decode FT8 and other Ham radio digi signals, lots of fun. My favorite Sad Ham Freq. is 7.200 LSB, those guys are Nutz.

Great Stuff!

Thanks for the info and explanation. You are my non SAD ham Elmer.

Love the Aqua Team Hunger Force in the background!

Looks interesting. Thanks.

Love the T-shirt 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Got the Nooelec v4 RTL "NESDR Smart" and downloaded Cubic SDR. Already installed the drivers went into Cubic SDR saw the waterfall and was instantly confused, lol. Hence, I am here. It is pretty, for sure, but now I need to learn what all that pretty stuff is. I'm learning SDR# Sharp as well.

Great overview , I'm using CubicSDR but obviously not to its full potential. Sharing more of your wisdom would be appreciate it. Thank you

Will come in handy too track down repeater jamming jerks

Very interesting thank you

Love the ATHF picture in the top left! I have meatwad tattooed on my leg ") also thnx for the SDR info

The rabbit ear antenna you can buy with or in addition to this isn't too awful. Far from perfect, but it does help expand your listening range with the adjustable lengths of the telescoping legs

Thank you .

SDR is great. It’s what got me started in radios all together. They are cheap and can do almost anything. Also unless you spend big money you can’t transmit and you aren’t at risk of breaking any laws.

You're my new dad, and I love the ATHF picture.

Very informative. Directfeed.

Nice video alot for the money

Congratulations, you're a SONAR tech!

I had never heard of software defined radio, I think I will get a dongle.

More great content!

Hay NotaRu, Thanks for demystifying SDR Radio. I want a copy of the shirt you were wearing.

Pretty cool

I came upon this video - I recognized you by the way you talk. I remember seeing a video of yours and reading the comments, where one d0ucheb@g decided he needed to comment negatively on your style of speaking. I just want to say, as soon as I heard you, I knew I was in the right place and was in for a great video!

With some more dorkness and finding the right decoder, you can decode signals from different sensors, like temperature/humidity, car tires, etc. You don't need to buy a weather station - decode the signals from the neighbor! 😆

I hope you enjoy SDR stuff, I've been putzing around now with it for a little while and it's really fun to see what stuff it can do!

Love the Lego fast food.

I will be reinstalling mine, this spring. I have to move my ant. mast where I have attached my base station radio/s & scanners, from the front of the house to the backyard by my dest.

Man those windows instructions looked scary as hell but I update my 2013 windows computer and cubic downloaded by itself and works. I got lucky. Instructions sounded like rewriting code lol

I just bought my first unit. But I just found out that it's all about adapters...lol. So I'm studying which ones that would work. Pretty nifty though.

Starting off with a Doors quote. That’s the way to do it

Great explanation and demo! 😎 SDR = Software Defined Radio I hope you're feeling okay? I sensed a slightly diminished amount of sarcasm 🤐 Get well soon! 🤣

Nice............ 💝

The newer Ham Radios such as the IICOM 7300 and Icom 7610, the Yaesu FT-DX101MP AND THE KENWOOD TS-890S all come with a digital decoder.

Enjoyed your video I was wondering if you could make some recommendations on a good antenna I looked around but there's so many thanks in advance...

@Texas1FlyBoy

The antenna largely depends on what frequency range you want to listen to. The SDR dongle will get the best signal for a specific frequency with a tuned antenna. As Randy demonstrated, a GMRS antenna works great for GMRS frequencies. For very general use a scanner antenna, such as a discone (around $50 to $200 USD, depending on what frequency range you want to cover), works fairly well for me. I have one that costs about $100 and it covers 25MHz to 1.3GHz (good enough for me). To start and just get familiar with the SDR, any wire antenna *outside* will work. Using an outside antenna is best. Radio signals are reduced when going through walls - some frequencies more than others.

Fear It Self And Spider 100% relate to me 😂

Hey Randy ,I just herd how gmrs was born .😉😉😉 It was on the 700 ,good one buddy .I got one of those blue tooth programers the app just will not download .tryed it on 3 different cell phones . Still can't get my Revetis 97s .I can't find the driver on windows12 I just bought the comet base/repeater atenna 10 foot long ,lmr 600 and a 40 foot mast .I kinda feel I waisted alot of cash the 97s was 499 along .anyway love you 700 and the videos ,oh have you seen the cable that you can clone the uv5r with ,,,later great video 🗽🇺🇸🙏

This was the best video guide I found on CubicSDR, thanks for making it. I was able to get the software up on my Nooelec Mini SDR. I can see the waves of various wideband FM radio stations, but when I select them, I only hear static. I've never heard anything but static after a couple hours of experimenting. I've played with the gain, the width of the band, but still can't hear anything intelligible. Is there any simple fix to this? Thanks.

Are there programs that you can program like a scanner to scan VHF and UHF channels like a conventional scanner.

Did you mention that the RTL-SDR gets hot enough that you can turn your room thermostat down during the winter and still be comfortable?

“And the spiders” 😂🤣😂

Good intro! Thank you 4 you. Now I wish I had a dongle 2.😂

I got something simular. But it got its own screen. Called a SDR Malachite. Wonderful Little thing. 0 - 2000 MHz with a MLA 30+ Loop antenn.

nice video. is that possible to decode rtty signals?

Lmaooo a little doors reference lol

Thanks for the video. I'm using a MacBook Air and when I try to "label" a frequency the software chimes but does not save the label. How did you get your labels to work? I'd like to label my GMRS frequencies like you do. thanks!!

Is there a way to scan inverted or scrambled frequencies? Outside of the states of course

Can you contact the Outer Limits?

I am facing some problem with installing RTL-SDR. I have downloaded CubicSdr-0.2.4-Win64 and zadig-2.7 I followed all the instructions to install zadig and Cubic Sdr. But on my CubicSdr I am not getting the rtl signal in the sdr device. So what should I do?

Bro you taught me how to use my fwang and I got one of these , looked up how to use it and you came up fuck yes

Looks a lot nicer to use than sdr sharp. Thanks
