 + 
 +=== Linux 
 +* [[:​software:​sdr#​gnu_radio_linux_mac_windows]|GNU Radio]] - Powerful suit for signal processing. Also contains '​gnuradio-companion',​ a GUI for designing the the processing blocks. 
 +* [[:​software:​sdr#​gqrx_sdr_linx_mac]|Gqrx SDR]] - Easy display of signal strengths/​waterfall etc. with basic filtering and demodulation support. 
 +* [[http://​www.baudline.com|Baudline]] (not in the Debian package repository) - Another signal visualizer. 
 +* [[https://​github.com/​miek/​inspectrum|inspectrum]] - Similar to baudline, but OSS. 
 + 
 +==== Debian based systems 
 +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. 
 + 
 +1. Install software:
  
     apt-get install hackrf gqrx-sdr gnuradio gr-osmosdr     apt-get install hackrf gqrx-sdr gnuradio gr-osmosdr
  
-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 
 +</​code>​ 
  
-1Create ​some udev rules, replace ​YOURUSER with your username (whoami)+3Additionally you will need some UDEV rules
 +Replace ​YOURUSER with your username (whoami)
 <​code>​ <​code>​
 $ sudo vim /​etc/​udev/​rules.d/​51-rad1o.rules $ sudo vim /​etc/​udev/​rules.d/​51-rad1o.rules
Line 23: Line 59:
 </​code>​ </​code>​
  
-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) 
 + 
 +5. check with hackrf_info that everything works 
 + 
 +6. launch gqrx, it should autoconfigure itself 
 + 
 + 
 +==== Archlinux 
 + 
 +    pacman -S gqrx python2 python2-lxml python2-cheetah # pulls hackrf and gnuradio automatically in 
 +     
 +==== Gentoo Linux 
 +Versions known to work: 
 + 
 +net-wireless/​gnuradio-3.7.7.x  
 +net-wireless/​gr-osmosdr-1.4_x 
 +net-wireless/​gqrx-2.3.x 
 + 
 +Make sure the 'hackrf' useflag is enabled where available. 
 + 
 +If you have the '​hackrf'​ kernel ​module ​compiled, prevent it from loading by adding 
 + 
 +    blacklist hackrf 
 + 
 +to your /​etc/​modprobe.d/​blacklist.conf. (update your modprobe config with 'depmod ​-a') 
 +     
 +==== Fedora 
 + 
 +1. Install software:
 <​code>​ <​code>​
-$ sudo rmmod hackrf +$ sudo dnf install gnuradio gnuradio-doc gnuradio-examples ​gqrx hackrf ​hackrf-doc gr-osmosdr gr-air-modes
-$ sudo vim /​etc/​modprobe.d/​blacklist.conf +
-# module blacklisted for radi1o / gqrx usage +
-blacklist ​hackrf+
 </​code>​ </​code>​
 +<note warning>​Fedora 24 also needs hackrf-static.</​note>​
  
-3. make sure you boot the hackrf-old, as gqrx somehow only recognized the device as a hackrf then (at least with gqrx from debian testing) 
  
-4check with hackrf_info that everything works+2boot into **HKRF-OLD** on the rad1o (for now, hopefully soon in HACKRF mode)
  
-5launch gqrx, it should autoconfigure itself+3check if it's detected with hackrf_info 
 +<​code>​ 
 +$ hackrf_info 
 +Found HackRF board. 
 +Board ID Number: 3 (Unknown Board ID) 
 +Firmware Version: [...] 
 +Part ID Number: [...] 
 +Serial Number: [...] 
 +</​code>​
  
 +4. run gqrx, accepting the default of //hackrf unknown device//. [[http://​gqrx.dk/​supported-hardware#​hackrf|Gqrx SDR Supported hardware]]
 +<​code>​
 +$ gqrx
 +</​code>​
  
-===== archlinux+5. if you get results in gqrx, move on to osmocom_fft,​ keeping in mind that the built-in [[:​antennas|antenna]] is tuned to 2.5GHz 
 +<​code>​ 
 +$ osmocom_fft 
 +</​code>​
  
-    pacman -S gqrx # pulls hackrf ​and gnuradio ​automatically in+6. now you are sure the rad1o speaks to your Fedora box and you can move on to GNU Radio

 +gnuradio-companion
