# The comms/rtl-sdr port

## rtl-sdr-0.20130412p0 – software to turn RTL2832U into an SDR

## Description

    DVB-T dongles based on the Realtek RTL2832U can be used as a cheap SDR
    (software defined radio), since the chip allows transferring the raw I/Q
    samples to the host, which is officially used for DAB/DAB+/FM demodulation.

    RTL-SDR provides some tools to work with these devices:

    rtl_eeprom:	EEPROM programming tool
    rtl_fm:		general purpose analogue demodulator
    		(narrow band FM, wide band FM, AM and SSB)
    rtl_sdr:	tunes the device and captures raw data to a file
    rtl_test:	check the possible tuning range

    Asynchronous mode is NOT currently supported on OpenBSD; some programs
    have been modified to force synchronous mode, the following are not yet
    available:

    rtl_adsb:	simple ADS-B decoder (aircraft tracking)
    rtl_tcp:	provides a network server for remote access to an SDR
