Like open hardware and kits? Would you like to build a Software Defined Radio?

Want to explore how your data is sent over radio? Then this miniconf is for you!

Some assembly required!

By the end of the day, you will:
- Learn how radios work and grok what Software Defined Radio (SDR) is about
- Learn to solder leaded and surface mount components and wind an inductor (or three)
- Build experience in using open radio software
- Learn about the mysteries of software defined radio including (now don’t be frightened) Inphase-Quadrature (IQ) receiver techniques
- Gain experience and understanding in how “digital modes” work over radio; such as amplitude and frequency keying
- Build a general coverage SDR Receiver, tuning shortwave radio bands (3 - 30 MHz), and a simple 100mW ISM band transmitter to take home.  Beware, this hardware will be a gateway drug to Ham Radio!
- Understand basic regulations of using low power and unlicensed ISM spectrum
- Send text messages to each other over the air. with your radio hardware and open source software

You provide; a laptop with Linux, a spare USB port, and ideally basic soldering tools.  Soldering experience is desirable but not essential.

We provide; a low cost kit - around $50 - with all the help you need to build, test and debug your very own Software Defined Radio (SDR).
