that flip cover with the sd cards is genius.

Cannot wait for mine. I’m pretty sure that the Expansion Card will arrive first before the actual uconsole.

I have a question, who can answer me, thanks a lot! :joy:

You need to use a 4g usb dongle and plug it into the type c internal on expanshion board.

Can you point me to the stl files for the flip screen cover.

RTL-SDR board with antenna mount kit arrived today in northeastern USA! I can hardly wait for the uConsole to arrive so I can try it out :sweat_smile:

is this the one like rex’s with the sd card storage?

Sorry I don’t know what Rex’s is like . It’s the one I use with an Sd card holder glued inside

I don’t have a flip cover. I have a whole front uconsole hard cover. I saw a flip cover with 3 sd slots built into it though and posted it on discord some time ago.

How do we prnt the sd card holder as int not in the link the sd holder seems to be not in the print file

the board has arrived yesterday (yay) and it’s inside the uconsole now.
Using SDR++, I can’t get any signal from radio amateur, only blank noise, even when attached to the roof dual-band antenna. FM commercial radio is okay, and this means connections are correct, but the SDR part is deaf at best. If I use an external USB SDR, I can hear conversations and all as usual. The USB SDR is connected to the same roof dual-band antenna.

Happy Fathers Day to all you dads out there!
I received my awesome AIO package yesterday and I am loving it. Great job @vileer on the engineering, sales, and support! You have done an excellent job. And a special shout-out to @Rex for assembling (and supporting!) the great OS images and AIO software package. You make using this a breeze and a pleasure.

Can you please write a guide to use this as a ham radio operator? I have an order for this unit and the antennas. I even have my general license, but I’ve only used my Baofeng on the local repeater.

See here shows you how to set sdr++ its pretty easy once you install rex command line.

I used google to find a file, something similar to the one below

What frequencies do you try to listen to? If the frequencies are below 30 MHz, you should activate the direct sampling and assign it to the Q branch manually. What external USB SDR are you using? If it’s the RTL-SDR Blog V4 dongle, it will automatically switch to the upconverter when operating below 30MHz, and no need to set the direct sampling enable.

I was listening to FM commercial broadcasting at 96.6 MHz, Virgin Radio in Italy.
Yes I am using the rtl sdr blog v4 as a comparison and the options on sdr++ were the same in both cases.

Could you change the bandwidth to 2.4 MHz and try again?
And I am a little confused, because you said the FM comercial radio is okey, but the Radio amateur is not. So FM comercial radio is not okey right?
