Idiot's Guide #10

Closed BT-Justice closed 9 years ago

BT-Justice commented 9 years ago

I need an Idiot's Guide to installing and setting up gqrx-scan, I am using the version of GQRX with the bookmarks option. This is what I have done so far using Ubuntu MATE 14.04.2 LTS:

1) Open Terminal. 2) Type in: git clone https://github.com/khaytsus/gqrx-scan/ 3) Type in: cd gqrx-scan 4) Verifying I am in the gqrx-scan directory, type in: gqrx-scan --type gqrxfile --pause 2

I get an error saying: gqrx-scan: command not found

I am assuming I installed it correctly using the above.

Try specifying to use perl, like this: perl gqrx-scan --type gqrxfile --pause 2

Most likely gqrx-scan is not executable, nor is it in your path.

I had to 'sudo apt-get install libnet-telnet-perl' and then use your command after enabling "Remote control via TCP" in Gqrx. All seems to be working. Thank you so much :)

Great, glad to know this is working! Perhaps I should add a little more info to the readme to cover this.. I unfortunately forget that I've use Unix so long I don't think about the requirements to run scripts etc sometimes.

Hi @khaytsus, I know this is closed, but I am having a similar issue as @BT-Justice.

I did the 'sudo apt-get install libnet-telnet-perl' and then tried your 'perl gqrx-scan -type gqrxfile - pause 1' command. How do I enable remote control via TCP in GQRX? If I open GQRX to enable it my terminal is busy. I've opened GQRX and configured the IP and port settings, but when I close out of GQRX and then return to my terminal, I have the same error. Any thoughts on what I'm doing wrong?

Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks.

GQRX has to be running; this script uses it to do all of the actual SDR work. The script just controls GQRX.

Enabling the TCP control in GQRX is mentioned here: http://gqrx.dk/doc/remote-control

Please note that GQRX does NOT save the setting for TCP enabled. It saves the TCP settings themselves, but not that it's enabled. So each time you launch GQRX you have to enable the TCP remote control setting. I have logged an issue for this in the GQRX github long ago but no change was made so far. https://github.com/csete/gqrx/issues/219

Hopefully this helps.

Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks.

Okay thanks for the reply. I was able to get it up and running this afternoon. Apparently it was a simple issue with not having the TCP remote configured correctly. Thanks again.
