1. Live Boot CD’s
Pentoo
Really, is there anything else? 🙂 Just download that and you’re set. Within pentoo, you’ll find a suite of tools, and some that you’ll need to download extra.
GQRX
Baudline
Baudline has an issue of parsing files greater than 50 MB in size, therefore you must chop those files. Essentially, you’re doing:
dd if=your_iq_sample.iq of=your_iq_sample-1.iq count=50 dd if=your_iq_sample.iq of=your_iq_sample-2.iq count=50 skip=50 dd if=your_iq_sample.iq of=your_iq_sample-3.iq count=50 skip=100
Instead of doing this manually, you can easily find a script to chop it up for you, much like the one here: https://github.com/feralhosting/feralfilehosting/tree/master/Feral%20Wiki/Linux%20Command-Line%20-%20Advanced/Split%20a%20Large%20File%20Into%20Multiple%20Smaller%20Sized%20Ones
There’s another nifty trick in the following command
rtl_fm -f 89000000 -R -s 1000000 -g 0 - | baudline -stdin -samplerate 1000000 -quadrature -flipcomplex -channels 2 -format le16
2. Windows Tools
SDR#
baudline
3. Mobile
Android – SDRTouch
4. OSX
Inspectrum
SOX
And a bunch of the same Linux tools, provided you got GNURadio working, will port as well.
