  • librtlsdr

    Software to turn the RTL2832U into an SDR (by librtlsdr)

  • There are a few variations of librtlsdr, f.e. this fork; https://github.com/librtlsdr/librtlsdr which adds features that aren't available in the version used in most Linux distributions. This adds some extra features and output that are really useful (most notably, regular output of max, min, mean power levels and noise floor). It also has some extra functions to fine tune signals.

  • r820tweak

    Allows tweaking of unexposed R820T2 features

  • Have already tried r820tweak and r820tweak_patched but though they were both successfully built, there were issues, probably to script using Python 2.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
