QuadRF is a phased array antenna that can see WiFi through walls, spot drones in the sky... and it's powered by a Pi 5 and FPGA board. Very neat device, we have a full video up on Geerling Engineering...

Can you receive FM radio on a 3D printer's heatbed?
@repkord asked, and we tested, with some assistance from my Dad, a radio engineer!
The answer is yes, and a video is here: youtube.com/watch?v=BA3_jCst…
OTA TV has a rocky road ahead: ATSC3 has a massive chicken-and-egg problem. Will the FCC mandate it in new TVs? Will DRM kill it?
That, and everything else we saw and discussed at NAB 2026, in today's video: youtube.com/watch?v=uEP3E-8k…
We saved our old iMac with @Juicy_Crumb's Docklite — a replacement for the iMac motherboard to give (at least some) old iMacs new life!

As always, huge thanks to first responders—and in this case, to the tower climbers who were busy doing their job, maintaining the KSDK tower.
I don't think "saving a guy's life by restraining him for an hour 800' in the air" is in the job description, but he did it anyway

It's always a good morning when you're picking up some early b-roll of towers for a new @GeerlingEng video...

Just before heading off to #VCFMW, my Dad and I got the Apple II working! I just wanted to show his neat little workshop in a video, and we wound up plugging in the old recapped PSU, and... well, here's what happened: youtube.com/watch?v=4EXsHeSl…
How's that 1979 Apple II restoration going?
Well... for every problem we fix, another one rears its ugly head. And we now have a Mysterious Ticking Noise! youtube.com/watch?v=PZwDEqto…

What would *you* build in a mini rack? My Dad and I are heading to NAB and will talk about our most recent mini rack builds at an Ennes workshop on Saturday! We've learned a lot, and are excited for the future of the mini lab—for radio, homelab, etc. youtube.com/watch?v=g_wTyKsW…
