Oo I'll have to give sdrangel a try, I've been just manually surfing with sdrsharp and sdr++ . Found the local airport bands, some sketchy religious shortwave stations, occasional blips of police

Did you find anything fun? SDRAngel makes is really easy to decode a ton of streams from one of those dongles.

Broke out the radio to see if I could catch some plane transponders.
Ended up being easier than I expected.

Just make sure that the RTL-SDR dongle is powered. I had to test a few USB ports before I found the one (the one that's exposed sideways) before SDRangel saw the device.

Pretty much all you need is a Steam Deck, a dock, and an RTL-SDR kit. (The latter I purchased through Amazon.)
If you reboot the Steam Deck into "Desktop Mode", you're running in a KDE Arch Linux environment. From the package manager, you can install SDRangel without any problem.

So did you attach an RTL-SDR dongle to the Steam Deck? SDRangel is excellent.

SDRangel is a pretty impressive bit of open-source software.
Lots to play with, like satellite tracking and decoding, frequency scanning and analysis, and digital decoding. This will keep me busy for quite some time.

Success. Was able to tune commercial FM, the CTA's channel for the Red Line, NOAA weather, and some hams.
Need to put in some time figuring out the other options in SDRangel.

Trying out SDRAngel for the first time and just have it monitoring 3 conventional channels at this time.
Honestly wish it would do P25, which seems a gross oversight.

Detecting CAS A with helical antenna
Installed sdrangel on MacMini and started to run nightly detection for CAS A and W3 located near ’Seated Queen’ (Cassiopeia). Antenna is the Helical Antenna we built earlier. Setup is simple; MacMini

Installed sdrangel on MacMini and started to run nightly detection for CAS A and W3 located near ’Seated Queen’ (Cassiopeia). Antenna is the Helical Antenna we built earlier. Setup is simple; MacMini <- RTLSDR <-LNA <- Antenna The antenna is pointing straight up to zenith with 90 degrees elevation. In this configuration it will follow earth rotation and scan a line on the sky from 59N and 18E.
