Turn a PockerTerm35 into a portable SDR station.

In the previous post, I have made a Raspberry Pi hat that integrates RTL-SDR, LoRa, GPS, and RTC with SMA connectors. But it was not fit in the PocketTerm35. So I made a new version with U.FL(IPEX) connectors.

The antennas were connected to a PCB bracket and then connected to the hat with U.FL cables.

RTL-SDR/LoRa/GPS/RTC hat for Raspberry Pi

I have made a Raspberry Pi hat that integrates RTL-SDR, LoRa, GPS, and RTC. It would simplify the setup if your Pi need tmore than one of the features of the hat.

The first picture shows the build with a Waveshare PocketTerm35.

RTL-SDR/LoRa/GPS/RTC hat for Raspberry Pi got U.Fl version

In the previous post, I showed that I have made a Raspberry Pi hat that integrates RTL-SDR, LoRa, GPS, and RTC. That one use SMA connectors to connect the antennas. It was supposed to be fixed deploy, so it’s not a big deal for the size. But if someone want to use it in a portable project, like a cyberdeck, U.FL(IPEX) connectors maybe the better option. So here it came.

The first and second pictures shows the build with a Waveshare PocketTerm35. The antennas were connected to a PCB bracket and then connected to the hat with U.FL cables.

RTL-SDR/LoRa/GPS/RTC hat for Raspberry Pi base cyberdeck build

Some of you may know that I've made an all-in-one expansion board that combines the RTL-SDR, LoRa, GPS, RTC, and USB-HUB for the uConsole. Now, I have made a new version that integrates the key features RTL-SDR, LoRa, GPS, and RTC for the regular Raspberry Pi, which may be useful for the Raspberry Pi cyberdeck build if you want these features.

As some of you may know, I've made an RTL-SDR/LoRa/GPS/RTC/USB Hub expansion board for the uConsole. And I've been asked if I could make something similar for the Hackberry Pi. Because the Hackberry Pi uses almost all the GPIO for the screen, it's hard to implement all the features. But I did make a way to bring the key feature to it by making a Mini RTL-SDR dongle with a side USB-A connector. It's much more compact than using the other RTL-SDR dongle.

The dongle itself is much more like the RTL-SDR blog v3. It supports the Bais-t power feature, HF via direct sampling.

But to bring it to production, I need to know how much people want it, so I can know whether production costs can be covered.

If you want it, please fill in the waiting list below.
