Seems I can't edit the photo of the previous post, so new post. (I'll delete the previous one if needed.

I only need SDR and wifi/bt on this, the AIO antenna from hackergadget is too large and not enough portable for me. I want to carry this around. So I though of the radio antennas. They are foldable and adjustable.

I planned to fit it at the top of the uconsole, but then the antenna would be 11-36cm, missing the VHF (40+cm). So I put it on the side, this this needs to fold 180° to expand while holding. Also works if you place on desk, this can face upword.

The SRH 789 Antenna has a much longer basement, and needs to adjust the distance to the side.

I'm still working on the antenna mount module, as it still slips. I'll add a square mount to the right so this can fix the sma mount and make it more stable.

My new flip5 has imei on the back

Is this because it’s carrier version and the unlocked? I can’t find information on the carrier, I checked online and says unlocked.

Replaced the screen protector myself

I dropped the phone and got several scratch on the protector (p2), worried about it harm the inner screen. I ordered the screen protector online, and tried to replace it myself.

The process is quite easy, there’s no glue underneath. Just simply peel of the old one, do a basic cleaning and stick the new one 🥰

Made my build-in rtl-sdr for usonsole

The aio board at hackergadgets is too expensive for me. So I get the regular one and soldered an usb rtl-sdr inside.

The top hole is too small for the mcx, still thinking about how to get it through.

Also plan to add a foldable ant at the top to keep it easy to carry. I don't like the ant board, they are fragile and unable to fit in pocket.

edit: I accidently lost a capactor near the usb D+, the dongle still works with windows laptop, but not recognized by rpi. After move a capactor from another sdr, this works.
