As the video below shows, receiving downlink signals from Coriolis with the rig wasn’t all that difficult.

Enter MAYHEM, an evolved fork of the original PortaPack firmware that the developers claim is the most up-to-date and feature packed version available. An SDR, a homebrew antenna, and some off-the-shelf software, and you too can see weather satellite images on your screen in real time.They nominally provide around 11 dB of gain when on, but the actual amount of gain varies by frequency.

Inside the box is the HackRF unit in a quality protective plastic casing, a telescopic antenna and a USB cable. There is no microphone connection, no S-meter, no loudspeaker, there is no control possibility except through the software on a computer.It is sufficient to send a signal over the laboratory bench to a receiver, nothing more should happen. However, the drawback is that with such a wide bandwidth it is very difficult to find a narrowband signal on the waterfall if the frequency is unknown. If your algorithm works best with your signal centered at 0 Hz (many do), you can shift the frequency in the digital domain, moving your signal of interest to 0 Hz and your DC offset away from 0 Hz. Since I am a licensed ham radio operator in Singapore (9V1HP), I can also do transmission of signals via this tool and GNU Radio Companion (all running on a Fedora system). Many other improvements and changes to the software have also been added, and the full changelog can be viewed here.

The HackRF One is a test equipment module for RF related experiments and measurements which covers a frequency range from 1 to 6000 MHz. Most wideband SDRs are like this but these images are also not helped by the low 8 bit ADC resolution. The first video covers the basics like installing software and shows how to decode pager signals with PDW. Over on dereksgc's YouTube channel we've discovered a few more recent interesting videos from his satellite decoding series that people may be interested in.It turns out another type of vehicle, SpaceX’s Falcon 9 spacecraft, reports data via radio as well and with some slightly upgraded hardware it’s possible to “listen in” to these flights in a similar way. Going back to the main goal behind SDR devices, we talked about the idea of being able to receive and transmit different RF protocols with a single device just by configuring its software. The HackRF was able to receive all the expected signals across the advertised frequency range easily and was even able to go below the advertised 10 MHz to receive broadcast AM. The signals are being generated and received on a set of HackRF One devices fed into a series of amplifiers, and the team is also employing a set of large dish antennas, one in New Jersey and another in Alaska, to send and receive the messages.

While we are constantly surrounded by radio waves and digital tech such as broadcasting stations, WiFi, bluetooth, smart phones, GPS and IT infrastructures, the HackRF One is a Software-Defined Radio that can interact with any of these technologies. HackRF One is an open source hardware platform that can be used as a USB peripheral or programmed to operate standalone. The HackRF One goes beyond in innovation as its an open source where others BladeRF and USRP operate on Host Code and Schematics.I have 40+ years experience as a ham, SWL, scanner enthusiast, satellite enthusiast so I know what I am talking about.
