 ⚡️ 🚙 📡 Radio direction finding made very easy for less than $1000 in fiat.📡🚙⚡️

Check this out and think about what is currently possible with low cost civilian radio direction finding.  This technology will only get cheaper and more features over time.

Definitely check out KrankenRF’s github too. Link in thread.

DYK: In ham radio, there is a sub-community or sub-hobby within the hobby interested in rf direction finding. These folks put on “fox hunting” events where teams compete to find a hidden transmitter (aka “the fox” 🦊 ).  Even with technology like this, it may not be as easy as you think because of other factors that can come into play that you will learn about as you go further down the radio rabbit hole.  🐇🕳️

 Wow, this is so cool. Your profile is criminally underrated. Idk how you don’t have 50k+ followers. 🔥🫡 
 Thanks.  In time, I think the word will get out that radio is a decentralized freedom technology & that bitcoiners and nostriches will greatly benefit from mastering the rf domain.  Either way, I enjoy doing this and appreciate all of the folks who are already here. 
 cool, $1000 is a bit much though, can't an rtl-sdr under $50 do this kind of stuff too? (even if with worse quality?) 
 Yes, you could do it cheaper.
