Hi Jim,
Did you look at the below article?

hadn't seen that one, but in my application the RTLSDRs are separated by substantial distances, so feeding a coherent reference isn't practical.

However, the bistatic radar is fascinating. Juha Vierinen also has a nice bistatic ionosonde program for a USRP.

I've always wanted to build a radio camera using cast-off Ku-band DBS dishes/LNBs, and the block of RTLs would work nicely for that.

Has anyone ever looked at the timing consistency/behavior of the cheap
RTL-SDR dongles?

That is, if you feed a sine wave in and get the samples out via the USB
interface, are there missing samples?  What's the ADC clock look like?

If you had two of them, and you determine the relative phase of them at
some time t0, and you let it run for minutes, how far will it have moved?
