Instead of a Raspberry Pi, you can try the Virtual Machines, but dig in to the above to get started.

They provide a VM that seems to work on the Mac, I just booted it, and it found the RTL_SDR dongle...

Hi all,
I just noticed today that recently the Outernet satellite information service just switched from K-band to L-band.
This allows for a much smaller patch antenna to receive the signal from Inmarsat, but at a lower bit rate (20 MB/day).
This is a free service, and can be received with low-cost hardware: Raspberry Pi 3, RTL-SDR, LNA, and patch antenna. All available from Amazon.
Apparently APRS is being rebroadcast, as well as weather satellite information.
