SDR has started me on the path of exploring the radio spectrum, I encourage anyone who is interested in radio who has not tried it to get a cheap SDR dongle and give it a spin.



That's what got me into amateur radio - with your SDR you can receive signals from the ISS repeater, and watch the frequencies change due to the Doppler effect.


You can even try some websdr servers, it can be really fun, even/especially(?) if you don't really know what you are doing


A lot of publicly available websdr's have a limited frequency range due to the hardware used, or political reasons, I wound up buying a limesdr myself because nobody nearby has the ranges I want.
