Reg Update to add Powershell to Plugable Protocol Handlers.


With the following registry additions, you can create a new URL protocol handler for PowerShell:

This allows me to do the following:
Start -> Run: ps:3+5
Start -> Run: ps:get-process
Start -> Run: ps:

A new powershell window opens, parses and executes the command and leave the window open.

Import the following to set it up:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\PS]
@="URL:Powershell Protocol"
"URL Protocol"=""
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\PS\DefaultIcon]
@="\"C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\WindowsPowerShell\\v1.0\\powershell.exe\",1"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\PS\shell]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\PS\shell\open]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\PS\shell\open\command]
@="\"C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\WindowsPowerShell\\v1.0\\powershell.exe\" -NoLogo -NoExit -command $ExecutionContext.InvokeCommand.InvokeScript('%1'.Substring(3))"

"Blinky" TDOA RDF Detector

Our local Amateur Radio club is building a Radio Direction Finding TDOA (Time Difference of Arrival) detector that has LED's to indicate the direction (Left or right) of the fox.  Here are the build instructions.   (Note: this project was originally presented by NZ1J.  See his video:   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNqUKYkifOo&t=68s   ) Here is the completed project: We start with the schematic:   Note that you either install PIN Diode pairs s D3 and D2, or Diodes pair D1 and D4.   The difference between these is the packaging.  If you are ok with Surface mount, then install D1/D4.  If you want discrete components use D3/D2. Next is the PCB.   The PCB can be ordered using the GRBR files available from the author.  The BOM for the electronic parts is as such: Doppler Direction Finder Bill of Materials   11/12/2021        Qty Part Digi-key Part Numbe...

Radio Direction Finding - TDOA

This article describes a few projects that I built from plans for Amateur Radio Fox Hunting. Basically, the hobby/sport is for someone to hide a few low power "Foxes", which are small transmitters that beep or send Morse Code, and then have a bunch of HAM's try to find them. The first project that I built was a Yagi Antenna (Directional receiver) and a 4MHZ Offset Attenuator.  The attenuator is needed when you get close to the fox and you need to reduce the power of the received signal.  I struggled with this setup because, on my first 2 fox hunts, there was too much reflection and multi-path interference.  This causes false direction detection and if you are not mentally prepared for this, you want to throw all of your equipment into a garbage can and take up a different hobby.   There are some truly strange individuals who find this frustration fun and enjoy making other people suffer, but I will leave that discussion for another day.  Anyw...
