Example to force the BT to be always ON "rtl_eeprom -b y", to remove forced BT "rtl_eeprom -b n" 6) Hack to force direct sampling to be always on by setting the unused remote-enabled bit to 1 in the EEPROM. Example to force direct samping always "rtl_eeprom -q y". To remove forced direct sampling "rtl_eeprom -q n" 7) Repurposed "offset tuning" to toggle bias tee ON/OFF. We can now use the "offset tuning" button in SDR# and other programs to toggle the bias tee if there is no specific button in the GUI. + +*** +To install: +*** + +sudo apt update +sudo apt install libusb-1.0-0-dev git cmake +git clone git://git.osmocom.org/rtl-sdr.git +cd rtl-sdr/ +mkdir build +cd build +cmake ../ -DINSTALL_UDEV_RULES=ON +make +sudo make install +sudo cp ../rtl-sdr.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/ +sudo ldconfig + +echo 'blacklist dvb_usb_rtl28xxu' | sudo tee --append /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-dvb_usb_rtl28xxu.conf + +***NOTE*** +If you previously installed librtlsdr-dev via the package manager you should remove this first BEFORE installing these drivers.
