ATS-20+ with ATS20_EX firmware
Posted: Thu Dec 05, 2024 3:59 pm
The ATS-20+ is an SDR receiver that covers from broadcast AM to broadcast FM. The SDR runs on an arduino and the firmware can be modified and updated by the user.
I installed ATS-20_EX from https://github.com/goshante/ats20_ats_ex and it's a game changer! The radio went from being a toy for SWL listening to a useful receiver for ham operations. It now covers AM/FM/SSB and CW, with the tuning step as low as 10Hz. I've been using it on the breakfast table with a short whip antenna and it does an amazing job picking up SSB and CW on 40m. Now all I need to do is build a transmitter to go with it!
A quick scan on Amazon showed it as cheap as $30. I think it would be a great Christmas present for any ham!
