| + | NOTE: Current versions of gqrx-sdr and gr-osmosdr in Ubuntu 14.04 are known to cause issues with the rad1o. (hackrf_info not detecting the badge, error loading libosmosdr etc.) | ||
| + | The [[https://github.com/mossmann/hackrf/wiki/Installing-gnuradio-on-Ubuntu-14.04-with-the-packaging-manager|original hackrf wiki]] has a PPA with updated versions. | ||

| - | NOTE: For Debian/Ubuntu Systems you qgrx will not work correctly, if you have the hackrf kernel module loaded. Additionally you will need some UDEV rules. | + | 2. Make sure the hackrf kernel module is not loaded. |
| + | If you don't do this, you'll get a -1000 error from hackrf_info | ||
| + | <code> | ||
| + | $ sudo rmmod hackrf | ||
| + | $ sudo vim /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf | ||
| + | # module blacklisted for radi1o / gqrx usage | ||
| + | blacklist hackrf | ||

| - | 2. blacklist the hackrf module. If you don't do this / still have the module loaded you'll get a -1000 error from hackrf_info | + | 4. make sure you boot the hackrf-old on the rad1o, as gqrx somehow only recognized the device as a hackrf then (at least with gqrx from debian testing) |
| - | <code> | + | |
