I opted to buy my uConsole with the 4G modem. I’m looking to do an internal RTL-SDR, but unfortunately, it seems like selecting the 4G modem makes this very difficult. Looking at the schematics for the 4G modem its clear that only 1 of the 2 USB ports is in use, so in THEORY this should be totally doable. However, as far as I can tell, the second USB port (USB4 on the schematic) doesn’t go anywhere that its easy to access. Is this correct or am I missing something? Here’s a picture of the top of the board:
Best idea I have is to tack some wires to the mini PCIe connectors on the PCB… I have to say its a huge missed opportunity not to break the USB port out as they have done with the UART.
