Get eyes in the sky with your Raspberry Pi

I suppose that the concept I was trying to articulate was better expressed as follows: "It is quite unfortunate that the baseline "Hello World!"-type project for SDR is listening in to airliners' telemetry, as it is widely available by other means, entails RX-only skills and equipment, and does not really provide wide avenues for later development".

That is, of course, my personal opinion, but it is also something of a critique: wouldn't people be more excited if the baseline project involved TX/RX, obviously with slightly more involved hardware (and limited to ISM bands & transmission power limitations)?

The baseline "Hello World" has always seemed to me to be capturing the full FM spectrum. I think that was the first example given in Gnuradio.

I know the posted article is nothing new, but it doesn't seem like a great idea to discourage people from writing up their experiments, even if it isn't anything amazing and new...
