The Raspberry Pi 3B+ as an SDR – Without the SDR!

Arthur T Knackerbracket has found the following story:

We’ve become used to software-defined radio as the future of radio experimentation, and many of us will have some form of SDR hardware. From the $10 RTL USB sticks through to all-singing, all-dancing models at eye-watering prices, there is an SDR for everyone.

What about the idea of an SDR without any external hardware? Instead of plugging something into your Raspberry Pi, how about using the Pi itself, unmodified? That’s just what the Nexmon SDR project has achieved, and this has been made possible through clever use of the on-board Broadcom 802.11ac WiFi chip. The result is a TX-capable SDR, albeit one only capable of operating within the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz spectrum used by WiFi.

    Why aren't you bitching about how this fucking bullshit SDR project hasn't even produced an SDR. The stupid shitbrained nigger jew cunts only used a fucking wifi chip to (guess what!) transmit wifi frequencies. Fucking bullshit!

    Never underestimate the capacity for humans to nigger-rig. Thinking down to a lower level can shoot down stealth fighters and otherwise provide an avenue to give untermensch a level playing-field to the most advanced warmongering societies.

      Yeah that's rite. And next up for our soylednews series on nigger rigging, how to nigger rig your wifi chip into monitor mode. Keepin it real nigga. Real dumb.

        I never claimed to be intelligent. But you are a smart guy, my fiend. When South California is fighting for its independence, I will come back to you for some smart answers. Let's hope you have some by then.
