Beagle_SDR_GPS VS CoopCommand

If you want to have something similar for use at home, you could take a look at http://kiwisdr.com.

I have one, but you need to hunt down EMI sources, before you can properly use it.

Have you see http://kiwisdr.com/ ?

One of my favorite projects is the KiwiSDR network, which is essentially making radios available online for public use:

Your father could be anywhere and enjoy listening from... anywhere? :-)

http://kiwisdr.com/ - Online access to software-defined radios for listening and learning nomenclature as well as a useful SWL tool

find the signal on SDR, kiwisdr.com

For a book look at Gordon West's technician book, for a website hamstudy.org. If you want to listen to HF amateur radio kiwisdr.com, you can also pick up a rtl-sdr for about $25. A great You Tube channel is "Ham Radio Crash Course"

I just checked the map of receivers on http://kiwisdr.com/ and the first Bay Area one I tried (KE6GG out of Daly City, CA) seemed to be able to tune in AM and FM broadcast radio stations.

The project is http://kiwisdr.com/ Regarding closed-source software, people are reverse engineering everything anyway.

I've spent roughly the last 2 years dabbling in the extreme shallow end of embedded development. What started as a desire to automate my chicken coop door has grown into something else altogether. Here is a link to my most complete project so far, that is actually currently in the process of being ported over to an ESP32 directly, without the Atmega328P. https://github.com/hms-11/CoopCommand
