GNU Radio + RTL-SDR + Fedora Asahi Remix

On Fedora you can install GNU Radio from the "Discover" app DON'T USE THAT ONE it does not come with the rtlsdr library and it won't connect to the RTL-SDR device. Instead, install the packages

dnf install gnuradio uhd soapy-rtlsdr

Once that's installed it should be set up and you can follow the tutorial for setting up the FM receiver using the RTL-SDR

ham2mon is a command-line curses based scanner application built with GNU Radio. Originally built for a wide range of SDR devices, I added and locked support to the RTL-SDR series of devices.

  • Integrating a DMR or D-Star decoder
  • Marking favorite channels for repeaters, or integrating something like repeaterbook
