RTL-SDR Extension Board with USB HUB and RTC

Joined the waiting list. This is a great expansion board idea.

How did I miss this thread before?! Signed up for the waiting list, looking forward to the lora/meshtastic functionality.

It occurs to me that some of our needs might overlap those in FPV Drone hobby… I stumbled across this while looking for custom screws. Antennas | SpeedyFPV

Rtc, ethernet, and usb would be highest on my list, even just ethernet and rtc would get me what I need.

Edit: Price would need to be altered depending on features, I selected the $50-$60 but that may not be enough. Basic usb hub might fit in the $50 range, but add more features and price probably needs to go up depending on expense. Even if a third party is soldering everything, you still need to package and ship, and that can be a hassle! Price needs to overcome hassle.

Looking very good. Nice work , i listed my self too for one off this great peaces. When I see good made pcb like this , I can’t pass.

The best part after the obvious is you get 3 additional usb , and one is internal for many projects and ideas.

Actually, there are 2 internal USB ports, one type-c, and the other is a 4 pins 2mm pin header.

I hope it will be released as soon as. :slight_smile:
I’m looking forward to get it nice hardware.

This is great, one for generic usb type-c and one to solder whatever you want. i was thinking it’s the same usb port .

When, when for sale?

Impaitently waiting.

Any updates on this?

This looks cool AF! I’m into amateur radio and have recently been downloading images from NOAA satellites over the UK but I’ve been doing it in the house. This would make it ultra-portable by using it with the uConsole with such a small footprint and internal to the device too! I need updates on this. I joined the waiting list too.

I need this! Please post link when it becomes available!

Just checking on an ETA since it’s April.

Also bumping for an ETA, my uconsole thirsts for a thicket of antennae.

Hi guys joined the waiting list too is the a release date at all for this? I plan to listen for extorestial life out there listening to our radio waves its a long shot.Like ET phoning home i will tap into this.

Unfortunatelly, Arecibo Observatory dead and won’t be fixed. You’ll have to find another hobby.

However, in 2022, the NSF announced the telescope will not be rebuilt but an educational facility would be established on the site.

Thank you for the info i will find a bigger dish.

it may be hard to do on the Earth.

I would recommend to cooperate with multiple uconsole owners and organize ‘uconsole radio telescope array’ using smaller dishes.

wish you the very best!
