Project is no longer maintained. Please visit new version of project written in c++ here rtl-sdr-scanner-cpp.
This project contains my rtl-sdr script written in python3 to scan and record interesting frequencies. See video below for details.
You need some tools to start the work.
python3 python3-pip rtl-sdr sox
Install it before continue. For example on Debian based distribution run follow commands:
sudo apt-get install python3 python3-pip rtl-sdr sox
Clone the repository into your local machine. After that, install needed libraries.
pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
Edit your configuration in file config.json.
Run below commands in terminal to get help:
./sources/main.py --help
