RTL-SDR Software Defined Radio
Description (
Characters: 1648 of 4000
)
An RTL-SDR Software Defined Radio receiver app for iOS devices.  Listen to AM, FM, SSB and CW radio signals. View an RF spectrum and waterfall. Connect, via the rtl_tcp network protocol, to networked RTL-SDR USB peripherals. This app requires an external rtl_tcp server. iOS devices do not currently support the direct connection of USB peripherals such as an RTL-SDR. Thus, the use of this app requires network access to a server, such as a Raspberry Pi (or Mac), with an RTL-SDR unit plugged into its USB port, and running the rtl_tcp protocol at an TCP/IP network address accessible from your iOS device. This allows a Raspberry Pi (or Mac) to act, essentially, as the USB port adapter for your iOS device. The rtl_tcp SDR app can also connect to hfp_tcp for the Airspy HF+, rsp_tcp for SDRPlay devices, and lmm_tcp for the LimeSDR Mini; see GitHub for server source code. This app can also connect to a Hermes Lite 2 QRP transceiver directly, if it has a known IP address, or through an hl2_tcp server. No support is provided for installing any of the rtl_tcp or other tcp software needed to use this app (with a Raspberry Pi, or otherwise). Please do not download this app unless you are already familiar with Software Defined Radio, have an RTL-SDR or equivalent USB SDR peripheral, and have already installed and tested rtl_tcp on your Raspberry Pi, Mac, or other server. Note that this app requires a very high bandwidth network connection in order to receive streams of real-time RF samples from an RTL-SDR. It is recommended that your rtl_tcp server be on a wired connection rather than on the same WiFi as your iOS device.}

I have an RTL-SDR blog v4 connected to a fedora 43 server that I’m running rtl_tcp on. This app is working really well on both my iPhone and iPad, connecting to rtl_tcp. Sounds great and was easy to connect. Would love to see the ability to save and scan channels in this app. Would also be awesome to be able to scan a frequency range.

Since there’s so many things that I need to do to actually make it work since you have to plug it into something by the way, I need extra ways for this to work and it’s pretty complicated and stuff so I need some extra things for it to work properly that you can go up to one gigahertz I think I’m trying to find the perfect SDR that doesn’t require such complicated stuff like plugging it in

Downloaded then deleted once I saw the setup requirements. Refund possible? Thanks, Eric KC1OAV

This app does not work on IOS without a secondary device (computer) plugged into it. Not boldly stated and doesn’t look like a refund will be issued.

Diese Software ist in vielen Bereichen nicht schlecht und macht auch was sie zumindest großteils sollte. Leider aber, hat diese Version einige Bugs, welche lästig sind und unbedingt ausgebessert gehören. Fakt: Der Squelch geht nicht immer und schaltet voll auf Stumm, was auch bei einem Wert von 1 selbst Signale mit 9+ blockiert. Auch der Empfang knackst enorm dahin, obwohl mit anderen Programmen das nicht ist. Also kein Serverfehler oder schlechter Tuner. Für diesen Preis sollte der Standard schon passen. Günstigere oder Freeware können das besser.

I combined $25 sdr, Ham It Up, Youloop antenna with a raspberry pi and how I have a internet accessible shortwave radio.

Servereinstellungen nicht möglich. App bleibt hängen. Habe 10€ in den Sand gesetzt.

It’s actually ok but some things don’t work quit right. Server Settings crashes the App in iOS 14. The RF Gain Level meter appears to be broken.

Nothing starts when I press the start button, and there is no reaction on the pc side. What should I do?
