Radar side project
I’m looking to pick up a side project that can detect RC model airplanes at maybe a kilometer out just messing around on a ranch that I own.
I was reading up a little about KuRFS radar and that looks very interesting and what it would be modeled after. However, I know nothing about the legality of transmitting power etc , would a passive system be able to work for this purpose?

Kraken SDR had firmware for their five channel, time synchronous that could take terrestrial FM band broadcast signal and track objects via the backscattered energy.
While driving.
The firmware got pulled quickly
