gqrx-sdr

Gqrx works with hardware supported by gr-osmosdr, including Funcube Dongle, RTL-SDR, Airspy, HackRF, BladeRF, RFSpace, USRP and SoapySDR.

Gqrx can operate as an AM/FM/SSB receiver with audio output or as an FFT-only instrument. The built-in Gqrx AFSK1200 decoder can decode and display AX.25 packets. There are also various hooks for interacting with external applications using network sockets.

Wideband FM mode has mono, stereo, and RDS (Radio Data System) modes. Displays FFT plot and spectrum waterfall.

It is powered by GNU Radio and the Qt GUI toolkit.

NAME
       gqrx - Software Defined Radio GUI application

DESCRIPTION
       Gqrx  is  a  software defined radio (SDR) receiver implemented using GNU
       Radio and the Qt GUI toolkit. It works with hardware supported by gr-os-
       mosdr, including Funcube Dongle, RTL-SDR, Airspy, HackRF,  BladeRF,  RF-
       Space, USRP and SoapySDR.

       Gqrx  can  operate  as  an AM/FM/SSB receiver with audio output or as an
       FFT-only instrument. There are also various hooks for  interacting  with
       external applications using network sockets.

       It  is  strongly recommended to run the volk_profile utility before run-
       ning gqrx. This will detect and enable processor-specific  optimisations
       and will in many cases give a significant performance boost.

       The  first  time you start gqrx it will open a device configuration dia-
       log.  Supported devices that are connected to the computer  are  discov-
       ered automatically and you can select any of them in the drop-down list.

       If  you  don't  see your device listed in the drop-down list it could be
       because:

       o      The driver has not been included in a binary distribution

       o      The udev rule has not been properly configured

       o      Linux kernel driver is blocking access to the device

       You can test your device using device specific tools, such as  rtl_test,
       airspy_rx, hackrf_transfer, qthid, etc.

       Gqrx  supports  multiple configurations and sessions if you have several
       devices or if you want to use the same device under different configura-
       tions. You can load a configuration from the GUI or using the -c command
       line argument.
