About this app

An Android port of rtl-sdr's rtl_tcp and libhackrf

This app is released under GPL2+ as a derivative work of rtl_tcp and libhackrf. The source code can be found at https://github.com/martinmarinov/rtl_tcp_andro-

This driver could be used by third party applications to implement Software Defined Radio (like SDR Touch)

Keep in mind that this application on its own may not be very useful as it is just a driver. It is able to stream rtl_tcp over the network.

Development has apparently been abandoned by the author, which is too bad. It would be great if bias-t voltage could be turned on, as can be done via the `-T` switch in rtl_tcp on computers. Without the bias-t to power an LNA (or other accessory), I have to keep bringing a Pi for certain things. Also, this stops working if the device connected via rtl_tcp disconnects. Intentionally closing SDR software on the PC, or losing wifi signal from another phone, doesn't seem to matter. It will crash.

Great driver, using it with 2 of my apps so thanks for the excellent work. I do have an issue stopping and restarting the driver from within my apps, so I could do with some help if possible? I have read all the docs and source code, but if I send the Android Exit command and disconnect my socket, when I start the driver again it starts but there is no data, app freezes and then crashes.

I use this in conjunction with SDRTouch on my phone and love it, I just wish they would bring the driver and SDRTouch to Chrome OS devices.
