Meteor Detection with the RTL-SDR

YouTube user Tim Havens has uploaded two videos showing his meteor detection results with an RTL-SDR dongle. Tim uses a stock R820T dongle, and a 6 element yagi antenna with LNA.

For the software he uses Spectrum Lab and SDRSharp.

Update: Tehrasha from the comments section has found a page by Tim Havens showing a little information on his meteor detection setup.

      On Windows use virtual audio cable software like “Virtual Audio Cable” or “VBCable” (Google to download them), or use the built in Windows Stereo Mix.

      On Linux, you can easy load a sound loopback module, using:

      “sudo modprobe snd-aloop”

      You may have to install it first. Then, you can use PulseAudio to graphically put streams into and out of the loopback.
