HackRF ATV Analog TV Station Experiments On
Ham. I tried various TV modes with HackRF SDR radio transceiver.
First I did testing to the unit for basic transmit. Then worked
my way up to still SSTV images, Then experimentd on various
bands. Then moved on to old analog TV. I experimented with a
handheld television to receive my signals around the house.
Then I moved on to live Television on 40 meters Ham. It also
works. I just don't know many hams in the area to try and have a
live two way conversation from a considerate distance.
That will be my next test and setup someday!
The hackRF is a interesting software
defined transceiver. And they have come down in price over the
last couple of years. They are now affordable even for poor
folks like me! I was
able to easily find a couple of them on Ebay to experiment with
at a fair price.
There is still much to lean with SDR. I am
just beginning my journey with using GNU Radio. What a fully
loaded system that is! For now I have experimented with
Windows software
"SDR Angel" The latest version works very well with the HackRF.
The older versions had audio frame timing issues. I reported it
on github and they fixed it in the later months. Thank
you SDR Angel!
