Carl Laufer isn't a ham (yet), but he got caught up in the RTL-SDR
craze in his home town, Auckland NZ, as he was completing his PHD
He began writing about them, and selling them, on his blog at
www.RTL-SDR.com, and soon discovered that the little SDR receiver
dongles could stand some improvement.
So he designed ways to make them work better, and contracted a Chinese
manufacturer to build them with his mods. That just about doubled the
price, from $10 to about $20. Yeah, big deal.
TAPR invited Carl to come to the 2017 Dayton Hamvention to talk about
them at both their Friday Forum (part of HamRadioNow Episode 324) and
as the main speaker at the TAPR/AMSAT Banquet.
And we got him for a conversation with HamRadioNow's KN4AQ and
PhasingLine's Chicken With Fries in the SIB back in Tent City.
