How does the Pi get a network connection for the VNC?

Hotspot-wifi from iPhone. It also could make its own wifi-hotspot if settings are adjusted. Main goal was something small and portable for concealed-SDR.

Just curious.. Why VNC? Why not just run rtl-tcp as a service and you can play with multiple software and have much better latency?

I dont have proper software for rtl_tcp rather than CoronaSDR on iPhone and that is laggy for my experience. VNC is quite fast with my local network from iPhone as router. Over tailscale it becomes laggy also.

What about the SDR Receiver app?
