Software Defined Radio

SDR

Based on the versatile RTL2832U chip, SatNOGS is using R820T RTL-SDR as the default signal receiver and tuner. The R820T RTL-SDR is currently the cheapest, most common, and most performing solution available in terms of general sensitivity having a frequency range of 24 – 1766 MHz. The stack allows usage of other receivers too (like amateur radio transceivers) through the usage of rigctld (part of Ham Lib project).
