AirSpy Mini: unboxing

29/06/2016 - Breve anteprima per segnalare l'arrivo a Torino (con tempi di consegna ragionevoli) del mio piccolo ricevitore SDR, 24 - 1800 MHz, AirSpy Mini (http://airspy.com/airspy-mini): dimensioni ridotte, costo interessante, nessun driver da installare, ottime caratteristiche ed altro ancora (vedi: http://www.rtl-sdr.com/review-airspy-mini/).

In questa pagina solo qualche foto dell'unboxing, nei prossimi giorni prove in L-satellite band (in particolare per la ricezione del traffico Safetynet ma non solo ...). Ovviamente con l'aiuto di low noise amplifier, L-band filter, antenna ecc.  Stay tuned!
