# Application note on using rpitx
The recently released <a href="https://github.com/F5OEO/rpitx">rpitx</a> by Evariste, F5OEO allows us to transmit an RF signal over GPIO18 (pin 12) of a Raspberry Pi. The software can accept an I/Q signal as an input, so now a Pi can be used as a general purpose SDR transmitter.
This document is about using <a href="http://gnuradio.org/">GNU Radio</a> and <a href="https://github.com/simonyiszk/csdr">csdr</a> with *rpitx*.

<br /><br />
The output of the Raspberry Pi GPIO 18 is a square wave, which contains harmonics.<br />
For example, if you transmit on 28 MHz, you will also transmit on:
* 28 × 3 = 84 MHz
* 28 × 5 = 140 MHz
* 28 × 7 = 196 MHz<br/>...
...and actually you may distrub some important radio communication services. Please don't do this! You can get into trouble! You have been warned.
If you ever want to connect this to a real antenna, you should use a low-pass filter, like the <a href="http://rfsparkling.com/qrpi">QRPi board</a>. In addition, only transmit if you have a proper license to do so.
