RTLSDR Net on W2LI/W2NJR Tonight

[Fizz306]

Hello all,

We had a pretty successful net last week regarding the RTLSDR sticks that are now widely available. We've decided to make the net a weekly occurrence for the time being, every Wednesday at 8 pm.

Tonight, we will be covering basic setup and configuration of the sticks from a software and hardware perspective, answering any questions you may have about getting up and running.

The net originates on W2LI, and tonight, we will be linked to the W2NJR repeater network, covering NJ and parts of NYC. This includes Echolink (21005) and IRLP (4935) capabilities for those wishing to participate from outside the area. The net beings at 8 pm EDT, and is expected to run for about one hour.

All are welcome, from newbies through advanced users.

For non hams wishing to participate, you may stream the net using the link provided below. Head over to reddit.com/r/rtlsdr where you can find our thread and post questions/comments for the net to answer/discuss.

Rob have you sent word about your little net to the owner of rtl-sdr.com? I'd bet he'd be very interested.

Too late for tonight, of course, but not for next week...Mike

I spoke with k2sdr briefly on the njr system last week. I think that he'll be with us tonight since we are linking to a system that provides good
coverage in south jersey!

Rob listening to the stream - the audio is a bit too hot - sounds a touch overdriven. The repeater announcements came thru cleanly, but the stations were a bit hot.

Thanks, Mike. Will crank the gain down next time around. Got home late and didn't have a chance to quickly monitor before the net started...
