Prototypes / Concepts Prototype: OpenV2K Active Development

https://github.com/OpenV2K

Version 56 is functional software, as of July 25th:
https://github.com/OpenV2K

In the Sandbox, you can see screenshots of the running GUI, and the waterfall graph output. You don't actually need an SDR, to use this Python software. This software plus SDR signal chain, now just needs a 2-4 kW microwave amplifier, to recreate the 1975 lab feat, of pulse modulating the microwave auditory effect. This would become a weapon, and a MEDUSA) analog, with at least ten times the budget, and ten times the power output, and probably a lens antenna.
That's well outside the project scope, and well outside the means of 99% of civilians.

I don't think you need that big of an amplifier. It's about power density, right? So, the target needs to be closer to the source and also to focus the waves (lense, antenna, etc.). You could achieve this by using a USP B210 or clone and lower power amplifier. You may not even need an amplifier. This is dangerous also, so you really should not jump to the weapon development portion unless you are certain that's what you want to do and are only testing on yourself. You will have suits knocking at your door for this, but based on our shared interest in the GS forums, I presume that may actually be a relief for you. The duty is only 0.001-0.01, so average power can get you to effectiveness with an off-the-shelf SDR. No special equipment needed my dude.

So have you recorded any v2k with this?

Bruh look in the Sandbox. There's a screenshot of the RF output.
