That crooked heat sink is driving me nuts brother
Dude, I love that you sound a little like, the IT Crowd's, Richard Ayoade. I could listen to you all day 😁
Man! Now I can’t unhear it.
@@sirkyoj1 😂😂😂😂
Lots of great stuff to come. Thanks for getting us started !
wow, it is an amazing time to be a ham. Thanks for sharing.
Or a great time to get into the hobby!!!
Cool piece of kit! Look forward to seeing you get it on the air.
Very cool, thanks for sharing. Looking forward to seeing the next video.
Thank you. enjoyed your complete coverage from Github to performance.
Looking forward to the pre amp board video.
Hope other HAM bands for novice and technician are covered in future videos.
this sounds great. I look forward to updates on transmitting with the radioberry
I just ordered mine off Amazon. It’s a little pricey but gets here on Monday. I am eager to see how well the pre-amp board works, or in my case what I’d call the finals 😀
This looks interesting and affordable. I am going to follow up the updates on this when you have tested with pre-amp. I am really interested in getting one after.
That is a great project.
Very good, looking forward to the follow up videos. Tempted to acquire a RadioBerry to play with... Thank you... J
Thank you for this video! I will follow the project, I can't practice anymore since 15 years, I live in the city where it's impossible to put HF antennas.
So I would like to set up a complete transmitter with 100W that I will be able to install on a high point controlled remotely via Internet.
haven't turn on my raspberry for month, this is pretty exciting
Fascinating. Thanks.
Nice video Matt, I just ordered one to have a play with it.
I am anxious to see how this works as a portable transceiver!
Thank you very much !! it is a great project, I will take a closer look !
I bougth one already!!!
Really great project!
Very interesting I will be waiting for the new raspberry pi SDR. videos
Very cool!!
Thanks for sharing Matt. I bought mine to use as either a dedicated FT4/8 skimmer or to possibly use with transverters.
Your ADC temperature was showing at 55C so was this just with heat sinks on both boards or were you using a fan too? I used a GPIO extender so I could leave the RPI4 in its heatsink/fan case that which works well but is a bit noisy. Got some new copper heatsinks on order for both boards to see if I can go silent with an acceptable temperature. Mark, G6DDX.
Looking forward to the next installment. Any filter board in the works, like the HL2 filter board?
Am I about to build a RadioBerry, yes I am.
Wow this is so cool.
is it possible to use two of this on a same clock in order to have coherent signal ?
Does the heat sink keep that cool? I really don't like how hot the SDR dongle I have gets and would like something like this.
Btw, I was just wondering, when the TX amp is available will the radio operate in voice or just CW?
It is referenced that the radioberry is connected to a PI4. It makes me wonder if it will connect properly to a PI3 as well.
A nail in the coffin for commercial rigs
I highly doubt it, I am sure there are no filters on the rf input!
@J Trager Look at the schematics 👍
@@TechMindsOfficial I will take a look at them, didn't know they were available.... Thanks!
The whole project is open source.
Which version of raspberry pi operating system would you recommend using with the radio berry when you have an 8 gig raspberry pi 4? I see a 32-bit version and a beta 64-bit? Trying to determine which raspberry pi OS to use as the base. Any thoughts? Thank you!
Also curious to know which specific version is being used in this video.
Mat, do you know whether there is any output on the radiberry board that can be used or decoded to switch in filters for the different bands? I have a 100W PA salvaged from an old crystal locked commercial HF transceiver which will take 100mW or so input and has onboard filters switched by TTL logic. If I could interface that logic, interfacing it with a T/R relay may be enough to make it a viable HF Rig.
Hello Matt, i wonder how much bandwidth this system uses?. I currently have a remote SDR Server with a couple of Airspys HF+ and other SDRs, on a very RF quiet location, this will can be a great upgrade paired with a power amplifier, because all my antenas can TX (i hook up my HF transceiver there from time to time). I currently have a 40mbps symmetrical connection on the remote site and i wonder if this can work remotely over internet. You can measure the bandwidth with the "nload" utility on the Raspberry, or with the "resource monitor" of windows on your desktop.
Good video.
Awesome video Matt TNX for sharing...So Radioberry is it worthy to buy it and start HF Ham radio ?
Great video and thanks for putting me on to this. I have one on the way, I can't wait. I also can't wait for your other videos in the series, I've subbed for that reason alone. I have seen other videos regarding the power source of the Pi and noise floor, I'll have to experiment with that. Have you tried running the Radioberry on battery yet? Is it possible?
EFHW ~ do you always use an ATU with your Antenna or do you have monoband wires to swap about?
hi just wondering if this could be used to receive weather fax's on openplotter on the pi?
The manufacturers really butchered the installation of those SMA. I see they are even like that on their Aliexpress page. It would be interesting to see the output on a spectrum analyser or at least another rx looking at the out of band radiation and harmonics. I suspect it will need external filtering before going into that 5W amp you mentioned.
I was pretty excited to find a transceiver with these specs, I bought the board and some of the other components and then hit a big problem with the Intel FPGA. Will both the 10CL16 and 10CL25 work and is there an equivalent?
Does it output a sine wave on TX? Or a Square wave? If the latter, it would be one ugly signal with massive harmonics and you'd probably want to consider low pass filters.
You do get the low pass filter for them
What kind of antenna would you recommend for this? How far can you transmit with 5watts on these frequencies?
Sounds great - if only it were available :-/
Thanks Mat for another interesting Project. Hope you will do a A/B comparison video between Radioberry+5W Preamp and the Hermes Lite 2 from a Rx and Tx performance POV
Good idea! Thanks for watching
I just purch'd a Raspberry Pi 400, which has a standard GPIO header, with an external extension "ribbon" cable. ...
I am guessing there would not be any issues, Re the RadioBerry. .. Any thoughts ??
Many thanks Johan for such a good material and nice project. I received the card today, willing to test it.
I just have a doubt, without preamp board, are two antennas needed? Any tips? Thanks again. 73 EA4HOF
Very nice, Matt! Two questions: can you launch more than one instance of SDR Console at the same time, e.g. one using the Hermes Lite, another one for the Radio Berry, and even one for the Pluto (for QO 100 in your case, if I remember well)? Could the Hermes Lite also run on this service (API?) on a Raspberry 4? Looking forward to the amplifier solution and the test! GL es 73, Pat, HB9FAB
Yes you can launch many instances, it even has tools for showing the waterfalls in one pane.
Thanks, @@josephhacker6508!
New subscriber here! 😃👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Hello there! 👋
Anyone had any luck to get SDR-Console to find the Radioberry? Got mine set up and it works via RPITX but even though they are both on the same network (I can VNC in) SDR-Console can't find Hermes-Lite.
Really awesome to see the config in action. This is the future of ham radio. One question: is it a raspberry Pi 4 8 GB, 4GB or 2GB? Just curious 😎😷. Again great topic 👍
Either should work cause the gpio pins are identical
The Pi4 has a quad core processor; while 2GB of ram is plenty, 4 is the least amount I would personally buy -1GB per core.
What horrable bad soldering at the antenna connectors. And also pointing not straight forward. What a mess for HF-Signals. Never seen this on commercial products. But great video again, many thanks for this.
Hello Matt, if you have a chance please to review CaribouLite it's a 30-6000 MHz 13-bit 4MHz SDR HAT for the Raspberry Pi
nice
Are there filters for the noise ?
Hello , thanks for the video. Do you know where we can buy it ? i've spent hours looking for it , and didn't found any dealer with product in stock. Thank you
Are you sure that dummy load can handle the power output from that board?🙂
I’m not sure, it did get quite warm, I even fried an egg on it 😝😂😂
0:37 They didn't even bother to solder all the ground terminals on the SMA connectors. They left out two pins.
What about the nuts and bolts to make the board assembly more rigid.
I am just using some nylon standoffs for now which provide adequate support. Given these have only very recently appeared on AliExpress recently, I would expect us to see some innovative cases developed by the community as they become more popular.
@@G6DDX I have no problem with that.
Does this work with the mumble voip programing?
This seems to be a grate WSPR station!
Oooh, fantastic idea!
how much is the power 100-150mW (edited)
Doesn't look to be available anymore at aliexpress or Amazon
How would you connect the rx and tx to a single antenna?
Wait for my next video, I will show you the pre-amp board which takes care of this :) I’m just waiting for it to arrive, about a week.
@@TechMindsOfficial Would you share where to get it?
Did someone try to connect this add board on other raspberry pi board also, I have raspberry pi 3b+, which is similar regarding hardware specs with base raspberry pi 4 board!!!???
What is the TCXO on it?
ASTXR-12-38.400MHZ-514054-T
I wonder how this would perform in comparison to the nooelec SDR devices
Two very different radios. The Radioberry is a transceiver that appears to top out at 38 MHz. The Nooelec is receive-only, and *starts* at 25 MHz (topping out at over a GHz). The Nooelec requires an adapter to tune most of the HF band.
@@allenlutins I think I understand that this HAT is similar in functionality as an expensive tranceiver bundle from the nooelec site? I don't understand all the numbers and I am sure they don't match up, but can most listening and transmitting be done with this HAT? Are more components needed for using it as a HackRF One bundle?
@@georgepitaru I'm admittedly not familiar with the higher-end offerings from Nooelec. The HackRF has a much wider frequency range (up to 6 GHz).
Which preamplifier board will you be using in your next video? I'd like to purchase one so I'm ready to go when you publish your next video. 73 W3GUY
Please share where to get the preamp board
Where I can buy it? I’m interested.
Phil N2EU
Well...$200 on Amazon is a lot for a fraction of a watt tranceiver, add the cost of a Pi-4 and it becomes excessive.
In this and other videos you seem to have an amazingly strong signal strength coming in. What type of aerial are you using?
I’m using an EFHW as shown here: ua-cam.com/video/RsgdcHeP6S0/v-deo.html
my fingers are numb trying to google a source to purchase this, can anybody help?
This is great! Can it pick up 700/800 like the RTL SDR or NooElec?
Hi Matt, at the time of me posting this the radioberry board is no longer available from that seller, I don't know if it's a supply thing or something else, shame as i was going to order one.

@@TechMindsOfficial the link doesnt show anything in uk store, I had to use US one 127.99 + sales tax + shipping that's kinda pricey more so when the store owner is based in shenzhen it' would be more than double the price matt, thanks for looking though
hi,where is the link for the transceiver? i need a VHF one
Gervais
Why cant they put the heatsink on straight
Why use an Ethernet connection and another computer ? Can the whole operation not be done with the Pi 4, an HDMI screen and mouse and keyboard?
It sure can! You can use PiHPSDR running on the Pi4. I’ll be doing a video on it in the near future.
excellent and looking forward ! vy 73 de DL8CY
Hey!
Thanks for the video.
Also , could you make video about the recent release of SDR++ ? Thanks de VU2CWP
Hmm.. Well, I already have an unused/still-in-the-box Pi4.. Perhaps I'll try this! 73 de JB/k8os
What did you use for an antenna?
I’m using an EFHW ua-cam.com/video/RsgdcHeP6S0/v-deo.html
@@TechMindsOfficial Thanks!
I need to know if it works with the Raspberry 3. Please, let us know. 73
I will test on a pi3 and post an update :)
@@TechMindsOfficial thank you
Why not?
Good staff for RPi, can this hat use with OpenwebRX like rtl-sdr?
Yep, absolutely! I havnt tested it personally, yet, but it does work according to the docs.
It looks like an ok project, I'd rather have just one antenna for both RX/TX why do you need the Ethernet plugged in?
If you plug the TX and RX connectors into the same antenna, you'll blow up the receiver when you transmit. However, you can use a duplexer to isolate the ports while using a single antenna.
He's using the Ethernet connection to control the Pi with another computer (network connection).
Is a case available ?
you can use a 3d printer to make a pi4 case that will hold the HAT board. k9LZJ
Is there an update with this project?
I don’t believe so, no one seems to be making them at the moment.
Thankyou for the video.
Project - Autonomous Wireless Net Radio for a Blackout Senario
Question
I have to find a ssb hf fsk sdr capable of hand shake reconnition , transciver and modem system that could be integrated into a compact radio using bands from 3 mhz to 28 mhz , 144mhz to 500mhz using maybe a raspberry pi or existing kits available being (compact for field conditions) capable of very noisy bands riding over jamming and using frequency hopping signals.
Thankyou for taking my question seriously.
I am happy to pay for your operating system on micro sd as I'm not a python code guru just a humble electrician with a limited rf and electronic background.
Note power amp and antenna could be separate devices I can sort.
Thanks Mate.

Wow I just paid a small fortune for a Drake Transmitter. Now I might be kicking myself.
Is it legal to have at home?
Yes, but you need a license to transmit.
Is there a P.O.E version of the Raspberry Pi ?
Great video! de W2CSI
It is not available on any of those links, Please update.
What country are you in?
TX adapter hell bro
Dang it, I can't find one for sale!!!!
Where are you located? I just listed one on EBay UK only though.
@@TechMindsOfficial USA
My concern would be the apparent lack of shielding between the RF section and the rather noisy Pi & switch mode PS. Thoughts?
With all the Pi RF projects I have made I have never had issues with noise from the PI. The only project which had any sort of issue was when I built an Allstar node, there was a “whine sound” on the transmitted audio, but this was cured by properly grounding the USB and Ethernet metal cans. I’ll report back on this topic once I get more into this project with the Pre-Amp board. As a suggestion you could join the google group for this project, lots of daily discussions going on.
I just can't run Soapy (remote) on it. You tried? 73!
what a pity! It's no longer available fro Aliexpress...

@@TechMindsOfficial i JUST PURCHASED THE SDR FROM ALIEXPRESS. $90.
@@hwolfla Check again
Not available on Ali Express nor Amazon as of this post.
Sadley not available anymore.
Good deal but after i saw it costs 88 bucks from china i will pass and just use my rsp1a.
It’s designed by a Ham from the Netherlands. The Chinese stores are just making the open source board. This is nothing like an RSP1A.
Hey cheff
