Fobos SDR: High-Quality Radio for Hobbyists, Researchers and Professionals

Stupid question: what can you actually do with SDR? Everything I have seen talks about things like listening to telemetry from satellites or power meters which is cool but also not that interesting in a practical sense. Is there more to it than that?

Using a 2.4 Ghz transceiver chip for IF is an interesting choice. It will definitely keep image frequencies well away. 8)<p>Separate I&#x2F;Q inputs might be useful, but I would opt for a wide band 90 degree phase shift network to tie them together and simplify signal processing downstream.<p>Note this an approximately $600 receive only board.

At nearly 600 euro (in NL) I would really like to see how it stacks up against other SDRs like the RTL-SDR V4, HackRF One and the RSPDX R2 for instance.
