.SH NAME
|
||
|
|
rtl_fm \- a simple FM demodulator for RTL2832 based DVB-T receivers
|
||
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
Uses a re-purposed DVB-T receiver as a software defined
|
||
|
|
radio to receive narrow band FM signals and demodulate
|
||
|
|
to audio. Written for and incorporated in the osmocom rtl-sdr project.
|
||
|
|
.LP
|
||
|
|
Narrowband FM is commonly used by public service agencies and
|
||
|
|
commercial dispatch operations in the VHF and UHF bands.
|
||
|
|
Also can demodulate Wideband FM, as found in the 88-108 MHz FM
|
||
|
|
broadcast band.
|
||
|
|
Experimental options include AM, LSB, USB and DSB demodulation.
|
||
|
|
.LP
|
||
|
|
Much software is available for the RTL2832. Most of the user-level
|
||
|
|
packages rely on the librtlsdr library which comes as part of the
|
||
|
|
rtl-sdr codebase. This codebase contains both the library itself and
|
||
|
|
also a number of command line tools such as rtl_test, rtl_sdr,
|
||
|
|
rtl_tcp, and rtl_fm. These command line tools use the library to test
|
||
|
|
for the existence of RTL2832 devices and to perform basic data
|
||
|
|
transfer functions to and from the device.
|
||
|
|
.LP
|
||
|
|
Because most of the RTL2832 devices are connected using USB, the
|
||
|
|
librtlsdr library depends on the libusb library to communicate with
|
||
|
|
the device.
|
||
|
|
.SH USAGE
|
||
|
|
With a suitable antenna for receiving the signal attached
|
||
|
|
to the rtl-sdr supported device, this program will output the
|
||
|
|
digital audio data decoded from that signal. The data can be
|
||
|
|
listened to by piping to Sox or aplay applications to play the
|
||
|
|
stream on the computer sound card.

|
|
.IP "[-E enable_option (default: none)]"
|
||
|
|
use multiple -E to enable multiple options
|
||
|
|
edge: enable lower edge tuning

|
||
|
|
.IP "filename ('-' means stdout)"
|
||
|
|
omitting the filename also uses stdout
|

||
|
|
+values will mute/scan, -values will exit
|

|
|
.IP "[-F fir_size (default: off)]"
|
||
|
|
enables low-leakage downsample filter

|
||
|
|
.IP filename
|
||
|
|
(a '-' dumps samples to stdout)
|
||
|
|
(omitting the filename also uses stdout)
|
||
|
|
.SH EXAMPLES
