The term software-defined radio means the implementation of hardware-based radio components, such as modulators, demodulators, and tuners, using software. In this chapter, we will cover different recipes and look at multiple ways RTLSDR can be used to play around with frequencies and the data being transported through it.
In this chapter, we will cover the following recipes:
- Radio-frequency scanners
- Hands-on with the RTLSDR scanner
- Playing around with gqrx
- Kalibrating your device for GSM tapping
- Decoding ADS-B messages with Dump1090
