This is a portable multisignal detection system. This setup is inspired by this built by busysignal which I found on a image from Jawncon 0x2 on on Hackaday. This carying case is designed to connect multiple RF sensors including RTL-SDRs and other signal specific sensors. Many of the components I already had when I started this project in an attmept to keep costs down.
On top of this I am building a web app that will allow me to control the system from a web browser, allowinf start and stop of various applications to collect specific signals.
This is a work in progress.
