Receiving FM Broadcast Signals using PlutoSDR

[@arvindmahato]

Hi ! nice explanation. But I am facing an issue with my Pluto SDR. When I try to use the Pluto block in gnu rc, I get error that no device is connected. But I can see the Pluto in windows device manager. I searched online for solutions, there it says I need to libiio, I even installed that, but no change. If you can please let me know how to resolve this , thanks !

Hello, Can you make a video on generating OFDM transceiver system?

[@farhanafirdous388]

I don;t find pluto sdr source block what to do?

[@davidlouiebedia1319]

I think GNU radio for windows isn't applicable anymore. Try to use Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) and download GNU Radio-companion. try to visit this link: techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/windows-11/how-to-install-the-linux-windows-subsystem-in-windows-11/m-p/2701207

Here we updated the firmware compatible to AD9364 That doesnot gurantee better performance.. How we switch back to pervious firm ware i. e., default firmware of AD9363(325-3.8GHz)

You won't be able to receive FM broadcast signals since they mostly lie on the 88 MHz to 108 MHz range. At least in the Philippines.

Hello good day, does hacking the Pluto device guarantee that it can transmit and/or receive to frequencies up to 2.4GHz? Thanks

[@charlestondaleambatali4158]

Without hacking, it can transmit from 380 MHz to 4 GHz. If hacked, it can from 70 MHz to 6 GHz but performance is not guaranteed.

[@annesharrapampilo]

@@charlestondaleambatali4158 can the antenna transmit to 2.4GHz frequency?

[@charlestondaleambatali4158]

@@annesharrapampilo It can. But if you want to be sure, use a 2.4 GHz antenna.

Hello Sir. Is Pluto SDR capable of spectrum sensing? I am planning to use to as my topic in ECE Capstone Design if ever po it is possible 😁

[@charlestondaleambatali4158]

It should be possible but you will need a strong host computer depending on what you want to sense. If it's just the presence of signals, then that should be easy. More advanced sensing will be difficult.

[@shannonchua9860]

@@charlestondaleambatali4158 In our case po, our possible objective is to sense the FM Broadcast, TV Broadcast, and Wi-Fi signal through Energy Detection using PlutoSDR and GNU Radio 😅

[@charlestondaleambatali4158]

@@shannonchua9860 FM will be difficult since PlutoSDR is not optimized in that frequency band. Energy detection should be easy but you need a more powerful host such as an RPi. PlutoSDR by itself may not be enough.

[@shannonchua9860]

What if sir we would do the "hacking" of PlutoSDR, is it still viable to sense the FM signal? Thanks in advance 😊

[@charlestondaleambatali4158]

@@shannonchua9860 yes but again, PlutoSDR won't guarantee performance.

I had this error with my audio sink: self.audio_sink_1 = audio.sink(48000, 'Speaker', True) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ RuntimeError: audio_alsa_sink can anyone help me figure out what's the problem with this? I tried changing self.audio_sink_0 = audio.sink(44100, “hw:0,0”, True) to self.audio_sink_0 = audio.sink(32000, “plughw:0,0”, True) but nothing works. Thanks in advance!

Your reception will be better with a longer aerial.

Can we learn ethical hacking from this ? I mean can I hack cars and garage dors with rolling code ( like hackrf one ). And to learn gsm hacking and spoofing

[@charlestondaleambatali4158]

It can emulate any wireless communication system so any device with a wireless communication system can be hacked. But for more complex systems, you will need an SDR with more processing power. Moreover, you have to build everything (or use an open source library) yourself. There are devices in the market that are already geared towards the application you want. Cheaper, also.

[@hariprasathmarimuthu5294]

Thank you for your response . Can you please suggest me a best device or sdr to practice ethical hacking ( radio hacking ). I planned to buy RTL-SDR but it cannot transmit rf , Hackrfone is good but it bit costly . Where I found your video about adalm Pluto sdr which is capable of both receiving and transmitting . Is there any transreceiving sdr below 200$ ?

[@charlestondaleambatali4158]

@@hariprasathmarimuthu5294 I am afraid I don’t know the answer to that since I am not an expert on hacking. It’s an entirely different field. If you need a decent processing power and a transmit and receive capability then PlutoSDR can work for you.

[@hariprasathmarimuthu5294]

@@charlestondaleambatali4158 Ok thanks for your kind response pal

[@DriveRangePro]

By default the Pluto only goes down the 325Mhz, for FM radio you need to tweak the settings to get a lower limit. Here's a vido on how to change it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nWLNenSea8t6laM
