Anybody has experience using rasdr4? What is it capable of?
It's a bit niche in the radio hobby, but very cool. That said, it is marketed to a very specific type of radio hobbyist which is probably best explained by looking at the first few sections of the manual, specifically around section 2a if you want to get a better sense of who this is for

I feel like 2a just says "It's for radio astronomy", is that what you mean?
Sort of. We have to understand what a SARA project is, how and where DSP would be employed, etc...hence why I mentioned its pretty niche. Radio astronomy, from my outsider understanding, is not something a newbie just walks in the door and picks up on. You have to have some experience with typical SDR use, data collection, etc.

Unless you're Grote Reber.
Awesome read. Ty for sharing.
