Hi everyone, although there are some comparisons between the R820T and the E4000 already [1, 2], I also did some tests with another use-case in mind. I'm working on a thing similar to RTLSDR-Scanner [3]. I want to monitor a large part of the spectrum continuously. So I compared the R820T with the E4000 using RTLSDR-Scanner w/ and w/o an antenna. My results are here: https://docs.google.com/folder/d/0ByDAKwyEiyx_XzZ5ZnpRV1VZWDQ/edit?usp=shar… There's much more spurs with the E4000 than w/ the R820T. According to [1, 2] one also would expect a better overall sensivity compared to the E4000. However, the GSM900 signals for example seem to be way better with the E4000 according to the RTLSDR-Scanner. Tuning to a certain channel w/ OsmoSDR Source in GNUradio gives about the same SNR - contrary to the RTLSDR-Scanner output. Can anyone explain this? Also, the DVB-T channel at 502MHz is quite weak in the R820T RTLSDR-Scanner output when compared to the E4000. I had a closer look at the lower limit of the channel in gnuradio. This can be seen in the 502MHz_*.png pictures. The E4000 produces a nice +20dB step while one can hardly see the channel in the R820T spectrum. I don't understand this as well. Is this AGC-related? Manually setting a fixed gain didn't really help though... Any explanations? Thank you! Best regards, Hunz [1] http://steve-m.de/projects/rtl-sdr/tuner_comparison/ [2] http://www.hamradioscience.com/rtl2832u-r820t-vs-rtl2832u-e4000/#more-1852 [3] https://github.com/EarToEarOak/RTLSDR-Scanner

[rtl-sdr] store frequency correction in eeprom?

by Benedikt Heinz

Some of you are probably using multiple dongles with alternating applications as well. Regarding the frequency correction, I put a sticker on each dongle and wrote the ppm value on it. However manually setting the value in each application is still annoying. So I used rtl_eeprom to write the value into the product-ID with the following format: "RTL%+dppm" resulting in sth. like this: RTL+87ppm I'm not sure if this is the best way to do it, but this approach works without changing librtlsdr. Another option might be storing the value in a non-used eeprom location and adding get/set functions to librtlsdr. Is it possible to write arbitrary values to unused eeprom locations without fucking up the realtek eeprom handling? Do you think this would be a better way? I'd like to hear your comments on this. It would be awesome if we could find a solution that many existing applications could incorporate. (Of course the ppm value still changes with temperature, but having a base value is still closer to the truth than 0ppm I'd say. I measured the offset directly after grabbing samples for 20 minutes at room-temperature and jitter is <1ppm.) Best regards, Hunz

R820T register map available

by Adam Nielsen

Hi all, One of the designers of the R820T tuner has recently been posting on the ultra-cheap-sdr group, and has kindly supplied a map of the R820T registers for private use only within the SDR community. He has asked that it not be posted on any website, but only be forwarded around privately. To that end, if anyone would like a copy of this spreadsheet and would be willing to likewise not publish it on the web, let me know off-list and I'll send it to you. There's not a huge amount in the way of explanations, but it lists all the registers and a very brief description of what they do. Cheers, Adam.

Re: rtl_fm scanning

by Colin Stagner

I am also having the rtl_fm scanning bug which was first reported in http://lists.gnumonks.org/pipermail/osmocom-sdr/2013-February/000485.html The scanning mode in rtl_fm hangs during the re-tuning process. This makes it impossible to use rtl_fm in scanning mode. I am using Ubuntu 12.10 with libusb 2:1.0.12-2, the latest git master version of rtl-sdr, and an Elonics E4000 (Realtek, RTL2838UHIDIR). Here are the steps to reproduce: 1. Find some frequency FREQ_NOISE that is not in use, and some frequency FREQ_SIGNAL which is in use constantly (i.e., like a commercial FM station). Find an appropriate squelch value SQUELCH which will stop FREQ_NOISE but pass FREQ_SIGNAL. 2. rtl_fm -f ${FREQ_NOISE} -l ${SQUELCH}. The program should not pass any audio, but it will exit cleanly with ^C. 3. rtl_fm -f ${FREQ_SIGNAL} -l ${SQUELCH}. The program should pass audio and exit cleanly with ^C 4. rtl_fm -f ${FREQ_SIGNAL} -f ${FREQ_NOISE} -l 0. The scan will pause on the first channel and pass audio. 5. rtl_fm -f ${FREQ_NOISE} -f ${FREQ_SIGNAL} -l ${SQUELCH}. The program will not output any audio, even though the first frequency is squelched out and the scanning function should skip immediately to the second frequency. Additionally, it will not exit if sent a SIGINT with ^C, and it must be killed with a SIGKILL. I've made a stack trace of this behavior. The program hangs very consistently at the same location each time: http://pastebin.com/wzE09MCi Thread 1 (the USB buffer reading thread) hangs while waiting for the data_write mutex lock in rtl_fm.c:642. I presume the thread has exhausted its supply of data and isn't getting any more. Thread 2 is slightly more interesting, because it hangs during the libusb system calls within the tuning function rtlsdr_set_center_freq() in librtlsdr.c:796. My guess is that it's making a blocking call that never returns. Can anyone else reproduce this bug?

RTL_TCP Output

by Chris Svendsen

I am attempting to write a program in c++ to transform the output of RTL_TCP to an audio device as nFM 12500 bandwidth. The problem is I have no idea where to even start could someone point me in the right direction to find out what format the out put of RTL_TCP is or where to find some documentation on how to even start converting it to audio. thanks for your time

Broadcast FM subcarrier decoding?

by Alan Corey

This might be a better question for the Gnuradio list, but for years I've known that some broadcast FM stations actually transmit a second audio program which is somehow modulating a subcarrier in the main transmission. It probably carries mostly elevator music type junk but is rumored to be commercial-free (a rare thing in the US!). I remember seeing dedicated receivers advertised for this, but never actually bought one because I wasn't sure it was active in my area. These date back to Lafayette Electronics days I think and ever since so 40 years or more. I've noticed (in SdrSharp) that on some FM stations I can see what look like they might be subcarriers on either side of the main signal. Anyone decoded those?

RTL_TCP Commands

by Chris Svendsen

Sending commands to RTL_TCP What format do the commands need to be in order to change the frequency of RTL_TCP. I have tried the following and the frequency will change but no to the frequency that is expected for example: This code : char SET_FREQUENCY[] ={0x01}; string Freq = string(SET_FREQUENCY,1)+"500000000"; answer = send(sConnect,Freq.c_str(),11,0); Changes the freq to this: client accepted! set freq 892350512 ll+, now 1 ll+, now 2 Any help would be greatly appreciated as i have been stuck on this for days. Thanks

RTL_TCP Commands

by Chris Svendsen

Thank you all for the quick response. Unfortunately I'm still having some trouble. This is what I have so far ( Its a lil messy but just for testing it should work ) This is based on the Client implementation: http://cgit.osmocom.org/gr-osmosdr/tree/lib/rtl_tcp/rtl_tcp_source_f.cc#n275 #define COMM_SET_FREQ ((unsigned char) 0x01) struct command{ unsigned char cmd; unsigned int param; }; unsigned char cmds; int iFreq = 500000000; cmds = COMM_SET_FREQ; struct command cmd = {cmds, htonl(iFreq)}; answer = send(sConnect, (const char*)&cmd, sizeof(cmd), 0); and the response is : client accepted! set freq -858993635 ll+, now 1 ll+, now 2 ll+, now 3 I'm sure I'm missing something I just don't know what.

Re: Re: R820T vs. E4000

by Al

Hi Hunz, I've just pushed some updated code up to GitHub, you can now set the gain in the preferences and tweak the scan settings. There's some info at http://eartoearoak.com/software/rtlsdr-scanner#tweaking A 250kHz offset seems to work well with my E4000, 140k with a FC0012 and 100k with a R820T. The FC0012 is the noisiest and the R820T is quietest.

SDRSharp, E4000 USB dongle not working

by Lorenz Wiedemann

Hello, I am using two of the "usual" RTL2832-USB dongles, with Ubuntu 12.04. The one with the R820T tuner in it works with both GQRX and SDRSharp (although driving the laptop temperature beyond 60°C - P-Mobile 1,8 GHz, with SDRSharp/Mono only!). The one with E4000 tuner is only accepted by GQRX. SDRSharp says "Array index is out of range", although in the dropdown menu, for both dongles "RTL-SDR / USB" is displayed. Anyone got an idea ...?

GSOC 2013

by Hemant Singh

Hey all, Osmocom is such a great community with awesome projects. Why doesn't Osmocom apply for GSOC 2013? It's a really nice opportunity. - More students will come to know about osmocom thus greater visibility - Some great minds will work on the projects so it may lead to something more awesome - Osmocom community will get to mentor students which is a very important experience, because that is how one understands the problems of new developers Cheers, *Hemant *

Re: ask for help : gr-osmosdr build failed

by Dimitri Stolnikov

Hi, it seems you've triggered an issue recently introduced via gnuradio master: http://gnuradio.org/cgit/gnuradio.git/commit/?id=9297c84dfdae3002677f759ef2… Their config.h basically overrides our build-time generated one which not only effectively disables every single source functionality but also causes the build error you experienced. I've just pushed a small workaround for that, please test it & report. One second issue i've noticed is that in your configuration every single option seems to be enabled, although not all dependencies have been detected. Usually a full configuration should look like in the attached file.

rtl-sdr, SDRSharp under Ubuntu/mono, high CPU load - compared with GQRX

by Lorenz Wiedemann

Hello, I am running an RTL2832 USB stick (R820T tuner in it) and SDRSharp via Mono under Ubuntu 12.04 with a Pentium-M 1.5GHz and 1,5 GB RAM. SDRSharp With sample rates of 0.25M and 1.024M, I'm "suffering" from 100% CPU load and temperatures around 70°C - this can't be healthy for the laptop... Switching the waterfall off and speed etc. to minimum doesn't help very much. RDS is displayed fine, all functions seem to be OK. RAM space is not filled up (30%). Any advice for a "smoother" running on such an "old" machine...? http://superkuh.com/rtlsdr.html#sdrsharpappnote said "it can even run on my old 1.8Ghz P4 laptop". GQRX GQRX did run using the QtPro way as described in the wiki, but after recent update of GQRX the DC spike at centre frequency appeared (it wasn't there before), and massive stuttering of audio and the "OOOOOO"s in terminal window at a lot of different sample rates made the usage of GQRX worse. (right, this should be posted in a GQRX forum...) Anyway, did someone notice that GQRX update (ca. first days of march 2013) lead to problems ? thanks, Lorenz

dump1090 - forked repo and added mysql support - some artwork

by Oliver Goldenstein

HI All ! Many thanks Salvatore for that very impressive piece of software. I extended dump1090 to make use of a mysql database: http://dl6kbg.blogspot.de/2013/03/dump1090-with-mysql-support.html I will work on the code the next days to improve it for a more easy db setup. Some results and a description you may see here: http://dl6kbg.blogspot.de/2013/03/dump1090-with-mysql-support.html the forked repo is here: https://github.com/dl6kbg/dump1090 You need a mysql database called "dump1090" with a table "tracks". You may easily setup the db using the supplied script "tracks.sql" Username and password ist coded for now as mysql user: root mysql password: root. Run: ./dump1090 --mysql Have fun ! 73 Oliver DL6KBG

the next level in Software Definition

by Jay Salsburg

Gird you Grid for the next level in Software Definition. We are now stuck in Software Defined Radio (SDR). Next is Software Defined Instrumentation (SDI) with intriguing choices like the Vector Signal Transceiver (VST) for Device Testing.

New item for the "Known Apps" section of OSMOCOM rtl-sdr

by Thomas Frisch

Hello osmocom-sdr-Team, i spent some time to get familiar with GNU-Radio and RTL-SDR stuff and have implemented an decoder for the FS20 wireless home automation protocol. Maybe this is something for the "Known Apps" section in the OSMOCOM rtl-sdr wiki. Since i am a hardware/FPGA/RF guy, my programming skills are not the best, not at all in python, so i hope the code is not too scary. Name: rtl_sdr_FS20_decoder Type: gnuradio app Author: Thomas Frisch URL: https://github.com/eT0M/rtl_sdr_FS20_decoder.git My compliments to the whole OSMOCOM Team, you are doing a great job. regards Thomas
