SDR is great. I'm using an RTL-SDR dongle together with the rtlamr software to read my gas meter. It provides measurements about every 30 seconds, and my gas company doesn't give any real-time data. Quite handy.

(and I run an adsb receiver, which incidentally provides free access to FlightAware and other services if you share with them.)



What frequency is your gas meter transmitting at?


The 900Mhz ISM band, specifically: (dump from rtlamr output)
