Since /g/ on 4chan is full of retarded /v/tards, I have a question about setting up a system where I can record/translate morse, NOAA weather reports and maybe some SSTV.
I am reading through the beginners guide to amateur radio and it is something I am highly interested in and want to play with.
Overall, what is the lowest estimated cost for a system like this? Or to make it easier and more work on my part, what is really the essential hardware that is needed?

I honestly think you'll get better answers at /diy/ and related boards than /g/

Check out RTL-SDR. You can get a cheap chip for around 20 bucks. Furthermore, you will probably need an antenna which you can also build pretty cheap or buy one which is more expensive.

>>89Note that that would be receive only. Also not all the dongles are made alike, so make sure you're getting the right one.
Software side GNU radio is your friend.

>>67>Ten-TecEasily over $1000, if not $2000. They're pretty expensive.
