If you want to transmit using basic hardware, you'll often need filters to ensure you have a clean signal.

In the latest Python Radio, Simon uses some custom Python code to figure out RF filter values.

We're currently putting together a repository of resources that will be available to readers for free via Github.

So far there is:

1. Spectrum Information.

2. Books on RF fundamentals like radar.

3. Signal captures for the hackrf.

What would you like to see added to these learning resources?
