Release the KrakenSDR! CrowdFunding now on Crowd Supply
KrakenSDR is now available for crowdfunding on Crowd Supply. Thank you to all interested parties for your patience while we navigated recent pandemic-related delays.
KrakenSDR is a five-channel, RX-only software-defined radio (SDR) based on the RTL-SDR and designed for phase-coherent applications and experiments. Phase-coherent SDR opens the door to some very interesting applications, including radio direction finding, passive radar, and beam forming. You can also use KrakenSDR as five separate radios.
KrakenSDR is an upgraded version of our previous product, KerberosSDR. It provides a fifth receive channel, automatic phase-coherence synchronization capabilities, bias tees, a new RF design with cleaner spectrum, USB Type-C connectors, a heavy-duty enclosure, upgraded open source DAQ and DSP software, and an upgraded Android app for direction finding. We are constantly working on new software and sample applications, so keep an eye out for future updates!
We expect to ship the first 1000 KrakenSDR units to backers before the end of March, 2022. And by the time that happens, we’ll have published a full range of in-depth tutorials to help you get started.
What are the mag mount antennas shown in the picture with the Kraken?
Are the antennas available now?
It’s going to be similar to this TV one that you can get on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07HB9Y8S7
We’re still finalizing details with the antenna but ours will have an SMA connector, better coax, and will be including a telescopic whip as well as the stub.
Will it be shipped to the UK?
Hello, yes certainly, we are offering free worldwide shipping as part of the price.
Been waiting for this version for some time now. What is a pity is that I can not order it, it will not be shipped to the Netherlands.
Hello, free shipping is available worldwide, including the to the Netherlands. If it gave you an error on the first day please try again as there was briefly a bug with EU orders.
Yay been waiting for Kraken since the beginning of the year. Had lots of fun learning new things with my Kerberos, now on to releasing the Kraken!
Thank you!
