[QUOTE="RustySpoons, post: 1059693, member: 412012"] Finally got around to having a bash at this, dug out an old RTL-SDR Dongle, put the FR24 Image on a SD card and popped it in to a spare Raspberry Pi2 I had here. For the Aerial I built a simple "Cantenna" It's thrown up on a painters pole using some WF100, just trying it out. Used a Aldi New Potato Tin, drilled a hole and soldered a F Type coupler, poked all the bits out of the middle so I am just left with a thread either side: [ATTACH=full]120064[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]120065[/ATTACH] Got some WF100 and stripped it back, fitted a F Type as normal but leaving the dielectric over the centre core, trimmed to 69mm: [ATTACH=full]120066[/ATTACH] Used amalgamating tape on the F Type, then fitted the it to the can using a F Type slim tool; [ATTACH=full]120067[/ATTACH] Using some "Liquid Tape" I sealed up any holes on top of the "Cantenna" [ATTACH=full]120068[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]120069[/ATTACH] Using a Dremel I cut the tin to 69mm, measuring from the top of the thread: [B][ATTACH=full]120070[/ATTACH][/B] Using some hot melt glue I mounted the whole thing in a 100 Blank CDR Case: [ATTACH=full]120077[/ATTACH] Lashed it up on top of a telescopic painters pole to test: [ATTACH=full]120074[/ATTACH] Seems to be working :) [ATTACH=full]120076[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
