rtl_tcp server for SDRPlay

(C)2015 Tony Hoyle ([email protected]). Licensed under the BSD license.

HISTORY

• Version 0.0.0: Initial build
• Version 1.0.0: Gain settings should now work in client apps.
• Version 1.0.1: Tidy up project, give better binary name. Run in background by default.
• Version 1.0.2: When no clients collected, don't initialise the device as it uses CPU when idle.

BUILDING

  mkdir build
  cd build
  cmake ..
  make

NOTES

The SDRPlay libraries are compiled against a recent libusb - at least 1.0.18. The one that ships with the Raspberry Pi is not new enough and will crash. Suitable upgrades are at https://www.hoyle.me.uk/pi/

The server pretends to be an R820T - this enables gain setting but the values the R820T use don't really map to the SDRPlay, so there won't be the same results.

OPTIONS

 -f initial frequency
 -p listening port (defaults to 1234)
 -s initial sample rate (default 2048k)
 -4 ipv4 only
 -6 ipv6 only
 -d debug (implies -g)
 -g run in foreground

TODO

AGC is not currently supported, due to lack of documentation.

BUGS

Every now and then the SDRPlay goes loopy in SDR#. Disconnect and reconnect to fix this.. no idea why this happens.
