[TangerineSDR] [EXTERNAL] RX888D - how to start ?

[Dave Larsen]

Tom

The confusing thing is that the program uses systemd and ip multicast.

Warning the computer should not have WiFi .  Local traffic traffic is 4.87
Mibps

Use btop to monitor the computer CPU  and
iptop to monitor the multicast

I start the the radio with  the first time

radiod radiod at rx888-generic.conf &

sudo systemctl start radiod radiod at rx888-generic.conf
sudo systemctl stop radiod radiod at rx888-generic.conf

after the first start.

Phil and Rob are making changes all the time right now and the instructions
are changing with an aim to make it easier to use.

I listen to wspr with

wspr-decoded wspr-pcm.local &

This command has no output until the 2 minute decode.  The initial setting
decodes to local files. There is no auto upload the wsprnet.org


Also if you do not have a permanent Linux box.

you can try rx888 with SDRConsole on Windows only.  This is Simon Brown's
windows only program and more like Linhpsdr.

I hope this helps.

I am working on documentation at
