User Reviews

Went to DragonOS for the SDR inclusions. I previously used SDR++ on my M1 MacBook and liked the scanner inclusion. The scanner module doesn't seem to be included on your version. Can I fix that (simply)? I'm an SDR newbie with limited linux exposure...
-
Best out of the box solution for all enthusiasts.
-
very good up to date
-
This distro is the best for any type of radio or signals work.

Greatness
