Hi there! I'm Alex and I have just received my M7 callsign as of 05/03/2022!
I have been SWL since late December after purchasing an RTL-SDR + Antenna kit Christmas of 2021, and I have also purchased myself an RSP1A clone from AliExpress in order to get into listening to HF with gain control, since the RTL-SDR's direct sampling mode just can't get enough in to listen properly.
I am a Software Developer by trade and I have a great interest in DV, having already assembled a working Hotspot and using a TYT MD-UV380 which I plan to tinker with firmware on. I hope to develop DV software over time to contribute to the HAM community, Open Source of course.
I intend to work my way up to an Intermediate and Full callsign within this year or next, and I do hope to get an HF rig at some point however space where I live is restricted, though I could potentially do quite well mobile. As much as I like DV I don't want to fade away into it, mentioning this specifically because I know theres concerns newly licensed people will fade into DMR space and never come back.
