Software Defined Radio is an exciting technology and it was great to explore the possibilities when applied to the BeagleBone with cheap DVB-T USB sticks. It was an unexpected amount of fun to hear the BBB tune and play a FM station! Nice to have some hams on hand, too.
Each Tuesday is BeagleBone Black Day here at Adafruit! What is the BeagleBone? The BeagleBones are a line of affordable single-board Linux computers (SBCs) created by Texas Instruments. New to the Bone? Grab one of our Adafruit BeagleBone Black Starter Packs and check out our extensive resources available on the Adafruit Learning System including a guide to setting up the Adafruit BeagleBone IO Python Library. We have a number of Bone accessories including add-on shields (called “capes”) and USB devices to help you do even more with your SBC. Need a nice display to go along with your Bone? Check out our fine selection of HDMI displays, we’ve tested all of them with the Beagle Bone Black!
Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7:30pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat and our Discord!

Using the RTL-SDR is great for very high or ultra high frequency work, but doesn’t go low enough for HF amateur radio use. I wrote code for the PRU that uses an external DAC and synthesizes SSB modulated PSK31 encoded data on the 80m and lower bands. Details and source code: http://trmm.net/Soft_SSB
