KrakenSDR Vehicle Radio Direction Finding Demonstrations

KrakenSDR is a 5-tuner coherent software defined radio based on RTL-SDR. It is the successor to the KerberosSDR and will be crowdfunded in 2021. In this test KrakenSDR is used on a vehicle as a Radio Direction Finder (RDF) with a 5-element circular antenna array made up of mag-whip antennas on the roof of the vehicle. The Android app logs the RDF bearings generated by the KrakenSDR and calculates cross points, eventually determining an estimated location of the transmitter once enough data is available. The GPS navigation feature helps the driver safely navigate to the estimate location without having to look at the screen too often.
