New page

This page is about configure software defined radio (SDR) using the infamous RTL2832U RealTek chip. Start by ordering something off ebay that has the RTL2832U chip. In my case, I have the R820T which I got with shipping for about $10USD.

[http://sdr.osmocom.org/trac/wiki/rtl-sdr Official osmocom page for the RTL-SDR]

== On OSX in terminal ==

This uses [http://brew.sh/ homebrew] which you should have installed

brew install cmake
git clone git://git.osmocom.org/rtl-sdr.git
cd rtl-sdr/
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ../ -DINSTALL_UDEV_RULES=ON
make
sudo make install

and that's it, you should now be able to try it.

rtl_test

which should make sure you device is detected; make sure you have no errors. After that, try regular FM radio using [http://kmkeen.com/rtl-demod-guide/ rtl_fm]:

rtl_fm -W -f 89.1M | play -r 32k -t raw -e signed-integer -b 16 -c 1 -V1 -
