Try modes_gui.

Crap ignore that. Hold on.

Do you have pyuic4 installed? If not, it might bomb.

Yep, pyuic4 is installed: Python User Interface Compiler 4.9.1 for Qt version 4.8.1

bistromath commented 11 years ago

In the gr-air-modes/build/res directory, verify that modes_rx_ui.py and modes_rx_ui_borked.py are both present and contain something that looks like python.

They are both empty. I did mention that modes_rx_ui.py was empty originally but on re-reading it might have been a tad ambiguous - sorry...

bistromath commented 11 years ago

can you make clean and make VERBOSE=1 and paste the output?

It's not building anything. Maybe delete the whole build dir and re-cmake things? If you make clean it should have something to do there. You're executing "make" from the build/ dir and not build/res, right?

Yep, I'm building from the build/ dir.

Ok, I've nuked it, cloned a fresh copy and it built fine despite already being built from scratch a couple of times - thanks for the suggestion.

Now the only trouble I have is not receiving anything despite being 20 miles from Heathrow and under the flightpath. I have a feeling this is due to my dongle having an R820T tuner. I've noticed the command-line version modes_rx seems to ignore the gain setting and always shows as gain 0, but that's for another day ;)

bistromath commented 11 years ago

Not sure if that tuner locks up at 1090MHz or not. I know the E4000 is OK but I haven't tried others.

Yeah, according to the thread about the driver it's officially rated to 1002MHz but like the e4k do much better; they cover 24 MHz to 1766 MHz (with lots of gaps from 1850-1860 and 1900-2100). Apparently setting gain manually is not yet supported...

bistromath commented 11 years ago

AGC is going to screw up gr-air-modes pretty bad, depending on the time constant, since it depends on a constant noise floor to find packets. If you wanted to experiment with gnuradio-companion, the flowgraph would be RTL source -> complex-to-mag -> WX FFT sink, then use the trigger to find Mode S packets.
