acarsdec 2.0 with built-in rtl_sdr frontend
by Thierry Leconte 02 Mar '14

02 Mar '14

Thanks to Andreas Reinhardt who have port my old acarsdec code to rtl_sdr (http://lists.osmocom.org/pipermail/osmocom-sdr/2013-July/000712.html) I gain interest back to acars decoding and decided to rewrite completely acarsdec and to add it some new features, in particular a rtl front end. So , I am please to announce the acarsdec 2.0 release : https://sourceforge.net/projects/acarsdec Acarsdec is an open source, multi-channels realtime ACARS decoder for Linux. It features : - up to four channels decoded simultaneously - multi-threaded - error detection AND correction (all one error corrected and some two errors) - input from sound file , alsa sound card or software defined radio (SRD) via a rtl dongle The 4 channels decoding is particularly useful with the rtl dongle. It allows to directly listen simultaneously to 4 different frequencies. Ie: acarsdec -r 0 131.525 131.725 131.825 Will decode acars on 3 frequencies with the rtl dongle number 0. try and enjoy Thierry Leconte

rtl-sdr licensing question
by Scott Cutler 01 Mar '14

01 Mar '14

Greetings, all-- A while back I asked some questions about licensing of the rtl-sdr libraries, especially with regard to use with non-GPL software. At the time, I was told that the ExtIO libraries were considered an acceptable use-case. My code has been in development, and for various reasons--the largest being the desire for transmit support--I have developed my own HW abstraction layer called SDRIO. At the moment, I support rtl-sdr, bladeRF, and Funcube Dongle devices via the abstraction layer. The layer will, of course, be GNU licensed and thus free for anyone to modify or extend. My intent is thus for SDRIO to live in the same niche as ExtIO and thus have the blessings of the developers. I'm aware that you cannot give legal advice; my hope is only that, if someone comes to me saying I violated the rtl-sdr license, that at least I can tell them that I've talked with the lead developers and that they've given me the same permissions as the ExtIO developers. I have placed the code here in case anyone wishes to look at the current state (though please note that the text of the licensing is not yet finished): https://github.com/spcutler/SDRIO/blob/master The SDRIO_RTLSDR module is quite thin and I hope does not give the impression that SDRIO is just supposed to be a wrapper. If you look at the other devices, you can see that they require more code and that the project as a whole is quite a bit more than a wrapper. Thank you for your time! -Scott

sdrangelove, make gives error
by Ben Z en de rest 28 Feb '14

28 Feb '14

Hi, I am trying to build sdrangelove on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. I did manually install cmake to have the required newer version. I did install Qt 5.2 and had cmake run with cmake ../ -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/home/pe2bz/Qt/5.2.1/gcc/lib/cmake After that, running make fails with this error: [ 68%] Building CXX object CMakeFiles/sdrbase.dir/sdrbase_automoc.cpp.o Linking CXX shared library libsdrbase.so /home/pe2bz/Qt/5.2.1/gcc/lib/libQt5Core.so.5.2.1: could not read symbols: File in wrong format collect2: ld gaf exit-status 1 terug make[2]: *** [libsdrbase.so] Fout 1 make[1]: *** [CMakeFiles/sdrbase.dir/all] Fout 2 make: *** [all] Fout 2 I did a google search on the File in wrong format message but I can not find a solution related to libsdrbase.so Can anyone help me with this ? Thanks, Ben

rtl_tcp problem or not?
by Favati 25 Feb '14

25 Feb '14

Hi there! I'm using a dongle on a raspberry + rtl_tcp and sdrsharp on another machine (quad core.... 3gb ram...good machine!) The problem occour at 00:57 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4E2MPfEzEi8 and at 1:34 in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8snz1wQSRpw If i stop and start sdrsharp, it works ok for some minutes...then the problem is up again! No errors appear on the console of raspberry/rtl_tcp I'm not able to understand if it's a problem of rtl_tcp,raspberry or whatelse... Things i've tryed: 1) Changed the samplerate 2) Changed the raspberry (tested tp1/tp2 too...getting 4.98v!!!) 3) Changed the dongle 4) Updated sdrsharp The dongles tryed work ok on a pc I've no more idea.... Anyone can help me? PS: If someone know a program that works in linux and is similar to sdrsharp AND CAN INTERFACE TO A REMOTE RTL_TCP...

RTL Z-Wave decoder
by Anders Lynge Esbensen 24 Feb '14

24 Feb '14

For those who are interested I wrote a Z-Wave frame decoder for the rtl-sdr, it can be found here: https://github.com/andersesbensen/rtl-zwave The frame decoder is able to decode Z-Wave 9.6/40 and 100 kbps frames. The frames are written in a pcap file format and piped to wireshark. /Anders

LTE-Cell-Scanner now support TD-LTE!
by Jiao Xianjun 20 Feb '14

20 Feb '14

Hi there, As LTE-Cell-Scanner doesn't support TDD mode: https://github.com/Evrytania/LTE-Cell-Scanner I fork LTE-Cell-Scanner and add TDD support to it: https://github.com/JiaoXianjun/LTE-Cell-Scanner (Not reviewed by James Peroulas, so it is just experimental currently.) It works fine with rtl-sdr E4k tuner dongle below 2.2GHz, but doesn't work in 2.5~2.7GHz even with external MMDS-LNB. Because the algorithm assumes analytic relationship between carrier and sampling frequency error. I write some matlab scripts (https://github.com/JiaoXianjun/rtl-sdr-LTE ) to separate carrier and sampling processing in algorithm. Aided by MMDS-LNB, the scripts can detect TDD&FDD LTE cell in 2.5~2.7GHz now! 12 LTE Cells information are decoded. 2 are FDD LTE, the rest are TD-LTE. Because here is China! (Partly because that TD-LTE is announed earier than FDD by government) Hope that in the future these features can be merged to original LTE-Cell-Scanner. Scanning results and video are attached. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4zRLgxzn4Pc

MODE C decoding
by Allan Healy 18 Feb '14

18 Feb '14

Hi, My name is Allan an I am currently working on my final year project for college. The idea is to create a radar system that interprets MODE C interrogation signals and replies by aircraft and SSR and with this information determine where these airplanes are in your vicinity. The device I am using to receive these transmissions is a DVB-T dongle. I will have to create an algorithm that will use the ping of the above transmissions which I am aware of. My problem is that I am having difficulty understanding how I will decode the signal to read the altitude and differentiate between other aircraft transmitting on the 1090MHz frequency. Could anyone in this forum point me in some direction as to how to learn this? Also apologies if I am unclear. Regards Allan

receiving specturm range
by 393775602 17 Feb '14

17 Feb '14

Hi. I just use the the RTL2832U and Rt820t dongle to scan the wireless and draw the specturm of what i get. But i find the data i calculate is never bigger than -46dbm also never smaller than -63dbm.Is that the dongle's receiving ability is just like that? By the way, here is how i test the dongle: 1、i turn on a basestaion 2、i used the gsm module to detect the power of basestaion nearby,i get about -20dbm as the biggest 3、i used the dongle which i set its working frequency to the frequency that basestaion used 4、i calculate the spectrum using the data return by dongle(honestly, i used the rtl_power to calculate) the result i calculate is never big than -46dbm,what a difference from the result from gsm module. So i wonder whether the dongle's receiving abllity is just ordinary or the way i calculate is wrong?
