KrakenSDR is dedicated solution for Radio Direction Finding / Signal Tracking. Leveraging 5 "coherently linked" interal SDR circuits, the KrakenSDR and included desktop & mobile software allow effortless signal locking, finding and tracking from 100MHz - 1GHz. Purpose-built for signal tracking, the included antennas can be mounted on a car roof; turn-by-turn navigation is provided automatically by the Android application. The KrakenSDR is OpenSource : power users have full control over all radio settings, software and firmware. Users can even control each radio circuit individually for simultaneous multi-band monitoring. Powerful Desktop Tools Passively capture low, full and high-speed USB traffic and up to 16 related digital signals simultaneously for analysis. Signal Tracking App Full-featured open-source tools for capturing, filtering, visualising and analysing USB-traffic on a protocol level. Auto-Calibration No-manual time-consuming, complex calibration - works out of the box. Rugged Design High-quality metal body provides solid protection and passive cooling.
