https://stream.echo6.co/videos/watch/e477afe8-e412-44b1-96e9-9d113617f428 Here's a test run of a 1km wireless link over 802.11ah to a remote DragonDeck (SteamDeck w/ DragonOS FocalX). My intent was to setup a KrakenSDR direction finding station w/ the ability to capture (SDR4Space) and transcribe (WhisperCPP) unencrypted FM communications with the hackRF. https://www.krakenrf.com https://greatscottgadgets.com/hackrf/one/ https://github.com/SDR4space/Examples https://github.com/ggerganov/whisper.cpp The ALFA Network 802.11ah (900Mhz US) adapter I chose for this video was picked up here (currently sold out) https://store.rokland.com/collections/other-lora-products/products/alfa-network-halow-u-802-11ah-halow-usb-adapter-support-ap-client-mode Interesting thing about this particular adapter is the fact it runs OpenWRT and has the necessary 802.11ah driver compiled in. Using a cross reference chart you're able to see what the selected 2.4/5ghz channel converts to in the 900mhz range along with the corresponding bandwidth. One adapter was used at the remote DragonDeck and the other on my laptop end just over 1km away. Both sides had the stock omni 900mhz included antenna. I had zero issues making the connection to the remote station the moment I setup my laptop and pulled up the IP address of the DragonDeck. SSH was solid and I was able to pull the KrakenSDR information from the remote end using DF-Aggregator on the local side. Search my previous videos for more DF-Aggregator information, to include setting it up for offline map data. You'll see a quick demonstration in the video of SDR4Space capturing IQ, performing demodulation, and sending audio to WhisperCPP to have it transcribed. With more time, I would've had a MQTT server running on my end w/ just the messages being sent to me with SDR4Space running in the background on the remote end. I would have also swapped out the tiny trained model for a larger model. Overall I think the test was a success and once I have more time I'll refine the setup and try to include more then one KrakenSDR over 802.11ah from another location. Thanks to a fellow/local Twitter user (Goon_Vibes_Only) for providing the fabricated antenna head for the KrakenSDR and also helping to setup and watch over the remote station.
