Hello everybody,

In this article i want to present my SDR setup, it run with Whip Antenna by OK2ZI,
An SDR Dongle with a frequency convertor and a simple Raspberry PI.

Here is my SDR installation directly on my terrace (I brought in 5V and 12V):

[Whip-Antenna] ——— [ Alim/Adaptator]——–[down-converter]——-[sdr-dongle]——–[PI4]———[ethernet+12V/5V]

Here I soldered the connection cable directly to the card with the SDR USB key
and all equipment takes place in a waterproof case :

Here is the active antenna that we see in gray attached to the top of my mast :

In next article i will show how to configure software with Raspberry and SDR on Windows.
