This instructional guide introduces a practical SDR lab focused on transmitting DTMF tones over FM and capturing them with gqrx for analysis. It details recommended hardware (RTL-SDR, HackRF, FM transmitter, audio player), generation of DTMF audio, over-the-air transmission, recording demodulated audio in gqrx, and verification using multimon-ng and Audacity, enabling controlled experimentation with RF signal analysis.
