- Communicate with other pilots by tuning on airband
Among others, for this you need a full duplex SDR, so rtl or hackrf won’t do, limeSDR or bladRF would.
For the author: I did have a realtime voice over SDRangel, it allows you to have the sdr in a physical location away from you, if I got some time I will write how to do it.
Tutorials? No I don’t, I’m guilty of being bad in documentation, but the plan is there to do full write up. Some are straightforward like AM/FM station as long as you have an SDR capable of doing so. The communicate with pilots one I had some write up being part of a project (https://tamim.io/professional_projects/nerds-heavy-lift-dron...) might give some insight, the scan cellular network one, I have an intro in here (the first project not the phone one) but planning to update it with more details once I get an approval since the client was the government (https://tamim.io/professional_projects/cellular-5g-lte-cover...). There are even other use cases for an SDR I didn’t mention but did try: using it as a GPS receiver, scan for drones in the vicinity if they are equipped with remote ID, program the SDR to broadcast voice messages based on written inputs, either manually or fed from another software, useful in cases when you want to automate the broadcast.
- Scan for drones that are using RC link
- Scan nearby cell operators and their metrics.
- Scan and pentest cellular networks
- Create your own LTE/5G tower.
- Transmitting FM/AM radio
