I’ll have to give that a try! I figured there’s got to be an easier way then clicking randomly all over 🤣

Oh, cool! You got the RSP1A working with gr-iridium. Congrats! I could never get it working, I always got infinite "Detector in burst squelch" errors. The RSP's are known for having very good sensitivity at L-band. How does it compare to the HackRF or BladeRF for capturing Iridium? Thanks for your videos again, mate!

Working pretty well on my laptop w/ the latest updates, took me a little to find settings that worked. I’ll be updating and trying on the Pi next, but it does seem to require a good amount of processing power. I’ll give the other radios another try, actually meant to in this video but got sidetracked with demodulation on audio haha.. I kept stopping things before I had enough data.

With my BladeRF, if i leave gr-iridium capturing all day and into the evening, I'll get between 56-63% for the 'ok_avg' value. Slightly better than my HackRF, but I see your RSP1A was sitting at 81% after a fair while. Impressive. My have to order a second RSP1A for Iridium duties! Thanks mate =) EDIT: I should note, I am using the RTL-SDR Active Patch Antenna V2 with the grey enclosure. Great antenna!

Many thanks

it is very usefull and that is so cool, I thank you very much, bro.

I looked into this before but it’s difficult to replace the LTS 3.15 without maybe breaking things and of having to rebuild lots to maybe include gnuradio. I’ll look again cause I can’t remember what exactly prevented me from just changing out the libs.

Glad to Finally see CHIRP on here!!! But please either install the binary version from the site or the actual DEB file which they now have!. The version you have installed seems like an Ugly Flatpak, or it just doesnt adapt to the XFCE theme. the Binary and deb both do. Also please as the FMRadio app...for those who simply want to use the RTL-SDR or similar to just listen to FM radio in a simple way. IT comes as an AppImage and perhaps source.. I don't know. Also a MATE version! or ad the ubuntu-mate-desktop-environment (trust me this is the best way) so that the user can switch from XFCE to MATE in the Login Screen.

Great video but using the latest version it doesn't seem to work, not for me anyway. Does the latest version have the things you said that were in this video be included in your next software release? Have you released any more videos that go more in depth in to the topics covered in your video. I have minimal knowledge of Linux and find some of it confusing being a Windows user. Do you have a step by step guide on the topics covered in your video? Thank you.

As far as I know I have got the latest release of DragonOS Focal. Running SDR# within it there is no option to select the SDRPlay RSP1A in the drop-down. Is it possible to update DragonOS Focal to include it? I think in an older version of DragonOS Focal SDR# did have the option for the SDRPlay RSP1A. The values that are in the RSP1A.conf file can be adjusted according to what the settings are best in SDR#. The only thing is there are no value against some of the settings in SDR#.

@@cemaxecuter7783 Yes I meant SDR++. If you can look into it thank you that would be useful. Running the data capture command it seems to run ok then occasionally it looses data may be 2 or 3% and then sometimes it’s the data is queued. The rsp1a.conf settings are the same as the one in your video and although you said they worked for you that may not be suitable for my RSP1A. I thought it would be a good start though.

@andrewlincoln9766 that’s so strange if it’s running in the iridium program that must mean the api is okay. Curious now why not in sdr++

Still trying to get this setup working on and off. When capturing data it seems to run ok for a while then it starts to lose frames occasionally. The ok rate is about 30,40 or 50% not about the 60/70% recommended. My laptop is a few years old but is a pentium processor i7 about 2ghz 4 core using I think so wouldn't of thought it would struggle with the amount of data. Just as a reminder I'm using a RSP1A SDR and a version 2 patch antenna with the inbuilt preamp. Any ideas?​⁠

If you’re running at the 9Mhz + settings then it’s likely coming down to processing power to be honest. Hard to say without knowing cpu usage, how many bursts are you getting when it drops percentage? You can try decemention at 8.

Hi, after installing Dragonos Focal alongside Windows 10, I have a few questions if you don't mind. First when I log in there is a black screen background instead of the one with the circuit board, is that supposed to be like that? At the bottom left hand corner there is an icon which enables you to select various software, including SDR# but there's no icon on the installed version. There is no way I don't think to open a terminal from the toolbar along the bottom, I have to go to my computer, open that and select it under the I think it's the action menu. There is no way of exiting the software, maybe because that icon is missing. When I try to open the internet I get an error saying cannot find server. I provided the details required during installation. Also I can't remember if it was the live version or when running it in Virtual Box or Virtual Player, I got the icon for the software and in SDR#, SDRPlay wasn't an option in the dropdown. Also, is the tracking pad on a laptop supposed to work in Dragonos Focal because mine doesn't. I can move the curser around but to click on something I have to press the left button underneath to select anything. I also get an error when I enter iridium-extractor -D 4 /usr/src/gr-iridium/examples/rsp1a.conf > output.bits, saying something like file doesn't exist or permission required access not allowed. With the installed version do I need to use sudo in front of the commands? Thank you in advance.

When you say alongside windows, are you saying bare metal in its own partition and selectable in dual boot or do you mean in a Vm within windows? If it’s within a VM there could be a slew of things, such as resolution cutting off the bottom and maybe the internet interface not being shared into the Vm. For the black background.. that’s such an annoying Lubutnu bug that seems there’s no solving besides right clicking the desktop and going into desktop preferences, changing the option from solid background to a selectable background. Then navigating to /usr/share/lubutnu I think it is and finding the background. I’ll get the exact location and reply.
