 +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>​ 
 +$ sudo dnf install gnuradio gnuradio-doc gnuradio-examples gqrx hackrf hackrf-doc gr-osmosdr gr-air-modes 
 +</​code>​ 
 +<note warning>​Fedora 24 also needs hackrf-static.</​note>​ 
 + 
 + 
 +2. boot into **HKRF-OLD** on the rad1o (for now, hopefully soon in HACKRF mode) 
 + 
 +3. check 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: [...]

 +4. run gqrx, accepting the default of //hackrf unknown device//. [[http://​gqrx.dk/​supported-hardware#​hackrf|Gqrx SDR Supported hardware]] 
 +<​code>​ 
 +$ gqrx 
 +</​code>​

 +To use the rad1o, search for blocks with //osmocom// in the name in GNU Radio.
