PlutoSDR

[Alex Fraser]

The board was recommended by AI (Gemini).  My search string  was for  a 
design for  a light weight airborne VHF/UHF transponder.  I should say 
that was the string I ended up on.  I started with "network able ssb 
radio" and just kept asking questions.  It took me through ham balloons .
The LimeSDR Mini 2.0 tied to a Pi Zero W was also suggested.
Some Gnu Radio techniques for building a transponder were put forth.
   This looks feasible.  It will take me a bit of time to build a pod, 
I'm in the knowledge digestion stage....
