Build SDR Projects That Work: Hands-On RTL-SDR Builds for ADS-B Aircraft Tracking, NOAA Weather Satellite Images, Marine AIS, P25 Emergency Scanner, H (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798193481713)

You bought the RTL-SDR. You watched the waterfall. You heard the static. And then... nothing.
Because owning a software-defined radio is not the same as knowing how to hunt signals with it.

Build SDR Projects That Work closes that gap with 25 hands-on builds that turn a $30 dongle into a serious signals station-no theory, no filler, just working projects you can finish in an evening.
Inside, you'll construct:

• A live aircraft radar tracking jets in real time with ADS-B
• A weather satellite receiver pulling live NOAA and Meteor-M photos from orbit
• A marine AIS station mapping commercial vessel traffic across the horizon
• A P25 digital scanner decoding emergency services traffic as it happens
• An ISS SSTV capture rig pulling images straight from the space station
• An IoT decoder reading smart meters, pagers, car key fobs, and home sensors
• A fully automated 24/7 logging pipeline that records, decodes, and alerts while you sleep

Every project includes a complete parts list, exact frequencies, step-by-step software setup, screenshots, and expected results. Open to any chapter and have a working build by dinnertime.

The signals are already in the air. Your antenna just needs to know where to look. Grab your copy, plug in your dongle, and build your first working project tonight.
