RTL-SDR L-Band Patch Antenna Giveaway

[@SemtêxČØŴv2.0]

I finally pressed the buy it now button last night on a SDR Play and an airspy youloop (on the back of both your reviews). Thanks for sharing your knowledge, I’d have not bothered without you and some of other KZbin radio channels explaining how to use them. Shows the quality of your content when a manufacturer wants to sponsor a give away, you should feel proud 👍

[@chrispowell3664]

I have been doing SDR as a hobby for about 2 1/2 years now. I always learn something new from your video's. Thanks

[@cphase1]

My grandsons and I are new to SDR and have enjoyed your videos, keep up the good work!! God bless!!

[@herbturton3285]

You continue to amaze me with your outstanding channel. Your manner of disseminating information in a clear way is refreshing to say the least. Great job, don't let up, continue the great reviews. I am now starting to renew my interest in many of the subjects you have covered recently. Of course the Military Air Band is my favorite and has been for over 50 years.

[@barrypaul9798]

I have a rspdx from sdrplay and this would be a great addition and allow me to discover much more than voice traffic on my sdr. I enjoy your Frugal Radio channel very much. Thanks for your time making this a more enjoyable hobby!!

[@JaguarInfinity]

Just getting in to SDR. My first USB receiver is currently on its way from China and I've been finding this channel a really useful resource to learn from in preparation for it's arrival. Thanks for all your hard work and this fantastic giveaway!

[@FidgetyGiblet]

I've always been interested in radio but was put off by the price of the kit and difficulty finding high quality, accessible tutorials. Thank you, you have opened up a fantastic new world for me.

[@ScottM4k]

Just getting into the SDR realm thanks to your series. In fact I just received the Nooelec SDR dongle in the mail today (RTL-SDR is on back order). Good luck to everyone that is entered in the contest, and thank you for sharing your knowledge with the listening community.

[@buckman72]

Just found your channel and it has renewed my interest in SDR. I currently own two rtlsdr's just haven't played around with them in some time. Thanks for the great videos and giveaway.

[@phatcr0w957]

I love your stuff. Just recently stumbled on it while getting into SDR. Thanks for all your effort.

[@tedviens1]

Thanks, Frugal Radio. I enjoy your videos and what I am learning from them. This would be my first SDR system.

[@michaelbrown-ns4dl]

I am loving this channel. It is incredible how inexpensively you can monitor these days. Thank you very much!!!

[@suavefpv1247]

Super excited to keep following along with your SDR videos! They are great!

[@stvnseegal]

Love your video's. I'm an aviation enthusiast and use FlightRadar24 very often with my portable scanner as I live less then 6km away from a civil airport who is currently expanding and turning into a passenger airport for bigger planes. After finding out about all possibilities I just started 2 days ago using a cheap TV dongle I got from my neighbour after watching the possibilities I saw in your video's. I tested the dongle and it seems to work for SDR as I was able to tune into the ATIS and I tried a few other know frequenties (I've had a Ham radio many years ago so I was able to listen in on them. Never thought so many users are still out there, my mind was blown and I think on getting into that again too). I plan on creating an antenna this week out of scratch as the one in the package is garbage but as an electrician I think I will manage to get better reception, especially if I calculate the correct lengths of the rods of the di-pole or another design. I'd love to participate in the give-away but unfortunately I live just across the North Sea, looking for the UK perspective, so that's a bummer. I mean the kit would allow me to get more out of this hobby and I know it's not very expensive, but on a disability income it takes me 2-3 months before I can purchase a real RTL-SDR.com kit. Anyways thanks for showing the possibilities and I'd love to see more in-depth video's about this as I'm very excited about it.

[@SDWNJ]

Looks like a good, frugal device. BTW, I tried listening to some frequencies used at my local airport (TEB/KTEB). I was able to sort of tune one of the ATIS signals, but not very clearly. Some time soon when the weather is good, I want to scope out parks near the airport to see if I can try listening from nearby.

[@johnoppen9563]

I love the videos, especially the antenna ones like the L band patch videos. Bought the SDR Kits one already. Looking forward to trying the RTL-SDR version. I am also enjoying the aviation videos.

[@alanwallis2796]

Have tried the SDR Kits antenna , without much success, would love to give this one a go

[@amitavmitra8888]

Thanks for your videos, they've helped me make informed decisions when looking at SDR equipment. very generous of you to host a giveaway, too!

[@lennypickle]

Thanks to fugal radio you have gotten me into the joys of SDR! Opened this exciting hobby to me, I’ve even gotten a few friends involved. Thanks to RTL-SDR blog for this prize. Good luck all!

[@TerryG7wrs]

I’m just beginning to get in to SDR and this series is just what I need. Hope to hear Leeds airport.

[@tim40361]

i just bought my first sdr and your videos are helping me get ready for when it gets here

[@dalegermano9146]

Really enjoying your videos as I am just getting into SDR, I live near a major airport and under thje flight plan so that will be my first effort.

[@infrequentgamer_greg]

Love your channel! I dont think there is another channel that emphasizes aviation comms like yours does. I'm watching every episode!

[@jj2me]

Greatly appreciate your videos. They have truly helped me understand the world of SDR and the airwaves around us. Thanks again. Jim

[@skyfalls2746]

Excellent videos on explaining how to set-up your sdr by Robin

[@antoniopellarin6890]

I've recently start wit Sdr and your channel helped so much, thanks👍

[@chrisbatty6]

Love the channel,looking to get into L band for some time ,,this could be the start ,great content keep up the good work

[@jeffchapman605]

Thank you for the support. I got two radios working on a P25 simulcast net. I had my best luck with signal by placing the antenna in an office closet. I can see the need for more and more dongles.

[@FrugalRadio]

I agree. You can never have enough! At least with the SDRs we can utilize multiple VFOs simultaneously 😃

[@jeffchapman605]

@@FrugalRadio That sounds like a good topic for a video. I would like to set it up so I can monitor two P25 (east and west) networks with the same radios.

[@FrugalRadio]

I believe SDRTrunk can split multiple P25 talkgroups to different destinations when using the broadcast feature. Things certainly get trickier when decoding digital.

[@ToddMaxey]

I'm sure this will work much better than my little dinky antenna that I have now! Thanks for all of the information that you give. I've learned a lot from watching your videos.

[@zachschwenk]

Thanks for making these videos and sharing your knowledge! I enjoy learning about new signals to investigate.

[@danedewaard8215]

Wow, that would be great! Thanks to You and the People at RTL-SDR.com for this giveaway!!!

[@bigben099]

Great video. I have a nooelec inmarsat antenna. Look forward to trying out the rtl-sdr antenna.

[@tzadik36]

I think all PCs should come with SDR built-in! Better use for all that processing power, and increased awareness of radio communications would result.

[@davidanderson4552]

Great show. Cant wait to see what's on L-Band.

[@timvlismas4578]

Enjoying your series of videos on SDR. Even at 60+ years old, I'm still learning!

[@neildamsell]

New to SDR for aviation comms, found your channel a massive help in setting it up. Thank you 🙏

[@reillyspitzfaden]

I've tried with a modified GPS antenna (removed the filter) and it was pretty faint. I'll have to check this out!

[@joeybridges3048]

Just starting this hobby with lots to learn ...I think I will hangout here .

[@mydronevideos3513]

Things I have tried with my Airspy so far, Listening to aircraft, boats, local industry, decoding pagers, decoding weather satellites, tracking aircraft, tracking marine traffic, and yet so much more to discover.

[@harrybmortoniii263]

Looks like a great setup to experiment with and also use on my electronics education broadcasts.

[@woobiedude]

I am new to SDR and your videos have been a big help. Thanks for your hard work and informative content, and for the chance to win this package!

[@rickrodriquez7776]

Great channel. Not only "How" to get involved with SDR, but "Why". Keep up the good work.

[@do5733]

I have definitely got to get into this! Thanks for the review on the L band antenna.

[@anbjr1958]

I like all your videos, you make it easy to understand. Keep-up the good work.

[@vr46jedi4]

I like the channel and have been watching it to learn more about SDRs. I ordered my first SDR after watching your beginner videos and bought the RTL-SDR v3 and it is a great little device.

[@FrugalRadio]

Great to hear it is working out for you. Welcome to the hobby!

[@MI7DJT]

Looks WAY better than my feeble attempt at making a patch antenna! Best of Irish luck to all and Happy Easter!

[@AliNicollReferee]

Thank you for the many video's and as someone who is really starting out, these are great aids to learn more

[@keithelgin1681]

Keep the videos coming, they are greatly appreciated having just returned to the hobby after an eight year break.

Like your channel keeping us up to date on using sdr keep up the Good work

[@MrMedicfred]

I love SDR! I learn something new about it everyday I love Frugal Radio!

[@keithcookman2918]

Great prize, I’ll definitely save up for this one. Would you think you could increase the signal strength with a actual ground plane? Therefore make it better at difficult applications..

[@FrugalRadio]

I didn't try, so I'm not sure.

[@allenlutins]

The SDR-Kits patch antenna has whetted my appetite for improved L-band reception and Amazon is all out of the RTL-SDR patches, so I'm hoping...

[@dalelinden2338]

I never win anything but I always try I am new to this but would love to win this package. Really love you're videos simple and to the point thank you for what you do.

[@greggygreg8549]

This is a fantastic channel. It seems scanning these days has really dropped out of interest with the public; I myself barely use my Uniden BCD396XT anymore! I especially like your emphasis on aviation which is what I enjoy the most...its about time there was a channel dedicated to this hobby!

[@olivercarberycarbery]

Love the channel,using a RSP1A with MLA30+ antenna for hf and also a skyscan magmount for airband
