Programming software for the Icom IC-R2 handheld receiver and scanner.

This project revisits a minimalist software-defined radio (SDR) receiver built using a Raspberry Pi Pico, now optimized for simplicity and affordability. Designed for breadboard assembly with through-hole components, the receiver covers 0–30MHz, supporting CW, SSB, AM, and FM modes with an OLED display and spectrum scope. Key improvements include enhanced frequency accuracy, reduced op-amp saturation, and lower-cost components. Powered by three AAA batteries, it delivers standalone operation for global signal reception. Ideal for hobbyists, the design fosters experimentation and is documented with firmware and schematics available online.

Since 2012, the RTL-SDR is the simple and cheap way to give Software-Defined Radio a try. For about 25 euro you get a receiver covering much of the VHF and UHF range, and by either adding an upconverter, or using the direct sampling option, also the HF bands. They are so cheap because they are mass-produced as DVB-T receivers.
