Framework Laptop SDR Expansion Card
I wanted a low-profile SDR (software defined radio) dongle for my Framework laptop. So far this isn't a standard offering as an off-the-shelf expansion card. So I created my own.
I bought the following items:
I removed the circuit board from the SDR housing. I had to sand down the LED on the bottom side (not visible) to allow the circuit board to sit low enough in the 3D-printed housing. I attached the USB adapter and used Gorilla Glue to secure everything. Once the glue dried I was able to slide the SDR in and everything worked great.
The circuit board does stick out slightly, but it's streamlined enough for my purposes.
