    Not sure it's all my influence.

    COSLinux Had been pretty dead.

    Yes, a lot of the topics have gone kind
    of far astray - not much Linux in them.

    But not 'uninteresting".

    Now using PIs and such to refine olde-tyme
    radio tech ... narrow, amplify ... would be
    even more interesting. Not sure what that
    would LOOK like ... but it WOULD be very
    interesting. Future comms are gonna be a
    little of this, a little of that.

    As for COSLINUX ... had to switch the group
    from "threads" to pure CHRONO ... only way to
    keep track.

    NOW it's hummin' :-)

    There is a lot of documentation for using RTL-SDR dongles. GNU Radio isn't
    the friendliest suite but it's powerful. I've got a dongle but haven't
    used it with the Pi. It's Linux after all so the docs apply to any Linux
    box. There is at least one hat for the Pi that offers some advantages over
    the dongle.

    I've mostly used it to pick up ADS-B signals to see what's coming and
    going at the airport. Some of the apps access an online database to look
    up the identifier.
