rad1o

Just a quick check list of installations recommended before camp. Detailed descriptions below! Don't worry if you are not coming with a laptop, the badge will still be useful to you.

• GNU Radio
• Gqrx SDR
• Baudline (not in the Debian package repository)

  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.

1. Create some udev rules, replace YOURUSER with your username (whoami)

$ sudo vim /etc/udev/rules.d/51-rad1o.rules
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="1d50", ATTR{idProduct}=="cc15", MODE="0600", OWNER="YOURUSER", GROUP="YOURUSER"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="1d50", ATTR{idProduct}=="6089", MODE="0600", OWNER="YOURUSER", GROUP="YOURUSER"

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

$ sudo rmmod hackrf
$ sudo vim /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
# module blacklisted for radi1o / gqrx usage
blacklist hackrf

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)

4. check with hackrf_info that everything works

5. launch gqrx, it should autoconfigure itself

  pacman -S gqrx # pulls hackrf and gnuradio automatically in

• GNU Radio
• SDR#

Follow these instructions to install Gnuradio-Suite on your Mac: Prerequisites:

• Install either HomeBrew, MacPorts or Fink (I used and tested only MacPorts)
• Download and install XQuarz via http://xquartz.macosforge.org/landing/
• Download and install MacPorts: https://www.macports.org/install.php

Install GnuRadio

sudo port install gnuradio

You also want to install the OsmoSDR radio blocks for GnuRadio

sudo port install gr-osmosdr

Start GnuRadio in the terminal with

gnuradio-companion

• GNU Radio
• Gqrx-SDR

• RF Analyzer

Patched version with rad1o support:

• Binary APK: RFAnalyzer-rad1o.apk
• Source: RFAnalyzer

Requires an OTG cable or adapter and an OTG capable mobile (e.g. Jolla and Nexus 4 are not)

It's highly recommended to build GNU Radio from source to use the most up-to-date version: Installation

There were two GNU Radio workshops at Easterhegg 2015: SDR for Noobs SDR for non-noobs

gnuradio-companion is the full-fledged signal processing application.

osmocom_fft is a nice little graphical tool for quick signal checks.
