I originally planned to put a RTL-SDR V4 inside by removing the USB case and soldering it to the non-4G/5G expansion board. This is a cheaper way to get similar functionality but the #RSGB Maker Champion at Newark told me about the Hacker Gadgets board
It's not cost efficient in this combo imo
It's World Radio Day and I have been on the radio for 45 years and I still love it. It's a hobby that grows and develops every year as technology improves. #IPA #AmateurRadio #RSGB

On the way back from the 2012 RSGB Convention with G7MRV stopped at Copt Oak / Bardon Hill (SOTA G/CE-004) 250m ASL and caught a beautiful tropo duct across the North Sea into The Netherlands. Needed no more than 5w for 5/9 using FM on the Yaesu 7800. Happy days! #144mhz #RSGB #tropo #144mhzdx #dx
