Hi, i try your package gqrx, i am new to sdr radio, but i can't find with google a hind to get it running ;( may you can.

Yosemite 10.10.1 ~ ➭ rtl_test Found 1 device(s): 0: Realtek, RTL2838UHIDIR, SN: 00000001

i can't use with rtl_tcp nor direct via device

i try it first in a fresh yosemite install in a virtual machine. but it also don't work (but i am new, i don't know, may the virtual machine is to slow) -> i install it nativ on my laptop.

too bad, also don't work. with the dmg from http://eliasoenal.com and rtl_tcp it works!

i change the formula from you to use gr_osmosdr v0.1.4, recompile everything -> don't work gnuradio itself works!

regards,

Marcel

This week I was also using gqrx (mac os x yosemite). I know that gqrx worked quite nicely before, however now I see the same issue with freezing after 1 s or so. I have no idea what is the problem.

Unfortunately I cannot help you out.

One idea: Did you update rtl-sdr?! I try gqrx 2.3.0 - 2.3.2-"now" but i the only Version i get running is with rtl_tcp... But i only can stop rtl_sdr with killing the process or closing the terminal

May we have to downgrade "rtl_sdr"...

Regards,

Marcel

i recompile librtlsdr with:

brew reinstall librtlsdr --HEAD

now the gqrx don't freeze but i have still with a problem with audio -> audio don't work, you hear only "tick .. tick .. tick"

I tried with newest librtlsdr and really gqrx does not freeze anymore and I am able to listen FM radio nicely. However with rtl_tcp (running on BeagleBoneBlack) I also hear ticking sound.

I should fix: https://github.com/andresv/homebrew-gnuradio/blob/master/gr-osmosdr.rb

To use head version of librtlsdr: depends_on 'librtlsdr'

Not sure yet how it is done with homebrew. If you know how to do it, I am interested in pull.
