Dvb-t+dab+fm Software Mac
Posted on by admin
Feb 08, 2020 It brought me to a webpage on Seagate’s site, where it clearly indicated the drive was initially set up to work with a Windows PC. If I wanted to use it with Mac OS or Time Machine backup (which is my intent), I’ll need to format the drive for my Mac. I then right-clicked the external drive icon on Mac desktop Get Info. It showed this format. Jul 09, 2020 In the next 5 minutes read, you will master yourself in formatting a WD My Passport safely and in a manner best suited for sharing your digital files between a macOS and Windows OS. To format a Western Digital My Passport external hard drive in ex-FAT or FAT32 format, you can bank on built-in applications of Mac & PC. Sep 18, 2019 After having confirmed that the WD My Passport is formatted with NTFS, many people will choose to convert NTFS to APFS (for macOS Catalina, Mojave and High Sierra) or reformat the WD My Passport hard drive to make the WD external hard drive compatible with Mac. But as you know, directly formatting WD Elements or My Passport on Mac causes data loss. Change my passport name external drive mac os. I was having the same issue with wanting to change the name of my external hard drives. What I found is my Mac did not want to change the name. So I plugged the drives into my PC pulled them up on Windows Explorer, right clicked on the drive name picked 'rename' and typed in the new name.
Watch amusing High Definition Television (HDTV) channels on your PC (Laptop/Desktop) with ease. Mac os extended hard drive formatting tool. It can also access FM stations as well. It is very portable to record your favourite program and playback at your own convenient time. I have a USB 2.0 Digital DVB-T SDR+DAB+FM HDTV TV Tuner Receiver Stick model (RTL2832U+R820T2) and wish to listen to FM radio via my PC, however I seem not to be able to find the right software. There are now dozens of software defined radio packages that support the ultra cheap RTL-SDR. On this page we will attempt to list, categorize and provide a brief overview of each software program. We categorize the programs into general purpose software, single purpose software, research software and software compatible with audio piping. If you know of a program that is missing please leave.
'DVB-T dongles based on the Realtek RTL2832U can be used as a cheap SDR [Software-Defined Radio], since the chip allows transferring the raw I/Q samples to the host, which is officially used for DAB/DAB+/FM demodulation. The possibility of this has been discovered by Eric Fry (History and Discovery of RTLSDR) [..]This is a short description, which I have taken over from the osmocomSDR forum.
So what is the trick ?
Usually, a DVB-T dongle is used for digital TV and radio receiption when connected to a PC.
It is using the software package provided by the dongle's manufacturer.
As the dongle uses the USB 2.0 interface, a driver is required which is provided with the manufacturer's software.
With a modified USB driver, you can pick up the sampled data from the DVB-T dongle and process it on your own hand using an SDR software.
And using an additional driver package you may also set the dongle's tuner from the SDR software.
For demodulation of digital modes, you may loop the audio output of your SDR software to a decoder program running on the same PC hardware.
That's it.
Your investment:
- less than 20 US$ for a DVB-T dongle with the proper chip set *
- freeware package for SDR software and the digital modes demodulationin commonly used in ham radio
What you get:
- a spectrum analyzer with up tp 3.2 MHz real-time bandwidth
- a multi-mode software-defined broad-band receiver
- both with a frequency range from down to ca. 22 MHz to up to ca. 2200 MHz *
* see the above osmocomSDR forum for the proper dongles which cover different frequency ranges
Drawbacks:
- only 8 bit of dynamic range
- limited blocking close to strong RF signals
- no pre-selection filters, design is rather optimised for small antennas
This is the current setup:
| DVB-T dongle | Dexatek DK DVB-T Dongle (Logilink VG0002A) Frequency range: 22 - 1100 MHz (Tuner Fitipower FC0013) |
| PC hardware / software | Laptop with 1.4 GHz Pentium M single core, 1 GByte RAM USB 2.0 interface with 1 m extension cable to the DVB-T dongle Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3 |
| general SDR package | the free SDR# (pronounced 'SDRsharp') which I can recommend if you run the SDR package on a rather old single-core PC hardware It offers built-in demodulators for - AM (Amplitude Modulation) ⇒ used in short-wave broadcasting and air traffic - NFM (Narrowband Frequency Modulation)⇒ used in short-range communication and VHF ham bands The bandwidth can be adjusted for further demodulation with separate digital-mode packages - WFM (Stereo Wideband Frequency modulation)⇒ used in broadcasting A decoder for RDS (Radio Data System) is included - DSB / LSB / USB(Double- / Single-Side-Band Modulation)⇒ used on amateur radio short-wave bands The bandwidth can be adjusted for narrow Morse Code (CW) transmissions |
| ADS-B-only SDR package | the free ADSB#(pronounced'ADSBsharp') for decoding of aircraft transponder signals on 1090 MHz, see below |
| demodulator packages: | freeware only: |
| adsBscope | works together with ADSB# for visualization of the received and decoded aircraft transponder signals |
| AFSK1200DEC.exe | AFSK (Audio frequency-shift keying) 1200 Bd. Used by amateur radio hams for packet radio, APRS (Automatic Packet Reporting System) and telemetry. |
| DSTAR.exe | DSTAR (Digital Smart Technologies for Amateur Radio), a digital amateur radio standard for voice and data transfer. Due to the propriery codec, so far only the the header of the messages can be decoded. But this is sufficient to see - Who is calling CQ ? - Who are the QSO partners ? - Is there any activity at all on my local DSTAR repeater ? (i.e. 'Does it make sense to buy a DSTAR equipment ?') |
| FLDIGI.exe | Multi-mode decoder which supports the common digital amateur radio standards used on short-wave bands, such as - Radio Teletype (various RTTY modes) - Phase Shift keying (various PSK modes) - various multi-carrier modes (such as Olivia, Contestia, Throb, Thor, MT63,..) - WeatherFAX (various Weather FAX modes) ⇒ used by maritime weather services |
| SORFMON.exe | POCSAG decoder, a standard previously used in commercial pager systems. When the pager services where shut-down, Amateurs used the surplus hardware and modified it for the 70 cm ham band. In Germany 439.9875 MHz is used for POCSAG in ham radio. |
| WACARS.exe | ACARS (Aircraft Communications Addressing and Reporting System) decoder for air traffic status reports. |
Dvb T Tuner Software
That is what I could achieve so far:
| long-term WSPR monitoring on 28 MHz or 50 MHz with minimum hardware effort, power consumption < 5 W: - e.g. Raspberry Pi 1 (the old single-core model) - the above RTL-SDR with an adeqaute low-pass filter, blocking the VHF FM broadcast band - software implementation by VA2GKA, as described here - see my hardware setup with additional EMC filtering: - WSPR stations received on 10 m after 2 weeks of continous operation in the 2017 short-skip season: |
| Spectrum monitoring of my 28 MHz WSPR beacon: - look for in-band spurious signals, - quick-check of signal-decoding without setting up the big RF-rig |
| 50 MHz ham band openings during the Es season: - see the various beacons coming out of the noise - the entire band on a glance, click on the spectrum peaks for listening - run the PSK multi-decoder and see what's going on |
| 70 MHz ham band openings during the Es season: - the band is assigned in several european countries - amazing signals when the ionisations of the Es layer is really high |
| Traffic monitoring of the local APRS-repeater DBØZU-Ø on 144.800 MHz, tools as described in the above setup: |
| Traffic headers monitoring of the local DSTAR-repeater DBØESS on 145.7625 MHz, tools as described in the above setup: |
This is what I am looking forward to do:
| NOAA weather satellite reception: 137.300 MHz / 137.500 MHz / 137.620 MHz |
| ISS packet radio transponder reception FM SSTV downlink Downlink 145.800 MHz AX.25 1200 Bd AFSK Packet Radio downlink 145.825 MHz |
Things that are possible from a technical point of view
(But beware the legal restrictions of your country !):
| Air-plane transponder data monitoring, such as: - ACARS (Aircraft Communications Addressing and Reporting System) on 131.725 MHz (Primary channel in Europe), tools as described in the above setup: - ADS-B (Automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast) on 1090 MHz, tools as deescribed in the above setup: |
| Pager services, such as: - POCSAG - FMS |
Dvb T Dab Fm Driver
in PC & Mac Hardware and Software#1
I've recently bought one of these I've installed it on a windows machine but now wish to install it on my computer that runs Ubuntu 12.04.
Trouble is, in the year or so I've had this Linux disto, I've only ever been able to install any software via the 'Software Centre' or via 'Wine' if it's a piece of windows software. I have never been successful after downloading software from a site then trying to install via any other way including the Terminal.
I've copied and pasted command line etc after going on Linux forums but no joy.
Anyways - back to the dongle. I've found this but, true to form, the first bit of code I've entered results in 'Command not found',
Sorry if I'm beiing a bit thick but if someone is able to 'hold my hand' through the install process, I would be grateful.

Thanks for the reply.
Ubuntu did nothing when the dongle was inserted!
Tried VLC & MythTV & and another - name escapes me at the mo - but they all say they cannot find a DVB device. I assume a driver needs installing.
BTW, I did try things with Wine but couldn't go down that route! - #4Try reading here .

To expand on this a bit - you need to download the source code for a suitable driver and compile it on your own system. (This is a common situation for Linux.)
There's step-by-step instructions here for a driver that is known to work with Ubuntu 12.04: http://linbay.blogspot.co.uk/2012/05/hassle-almost-free-rtl2832u-linux.html - #6To expand on this a bit - you need to download the source code for a suitable driver and compile it on your own system.

Mmmmmmm, Tried that site last night - though must admit I was quite tired. I'll give it another go.
Just for clarity: Do I try all those instuctions, one after the other and in the case below - all at once or a line at a time?
$ cd DVB-Realtek-RTL2832U-2.2.2-10tuner-mod_kernel-3.0.0/RTL2832-2.2.2_kernel-3.0.0/
$ vi Makefile (to make sure variable INCLUDE_EXTRA_DVB matches your kernel version)
$ make clean
$ make
$ sudo make install
$ sudo modprobe dvb_usb_rtl2832u
Thanks - #7The other problem is the OP seems to have bought a unbranded one, that isnt suported.

Unlike a 'Pinnacle' Hauppauge etc or a kworld.
The Genius uses the same chipset as the OPs

and seems to work ok. - #8Mmmmmmm, Tried that site last night - though must admit I was quite tired. I'll give it another go.

Anyone? Tremendous feeling of da javu here. As per my OP - never seem to get stuff installed!! - #10Anyone? Tremendous feeling of da javu here. As per my OP - never seem to get stuff installed!!
You can't install Windows software in Linux. End of. - #11Unfortunately this is one of the areas that Linux falls down against Windows.
If something doesn't immediately work (i.e. the drivers are inbuilt), then you have an awful lot of work to do to get it to work.
You can't just download the relevant drivers and point Device Manager towards them, like you can in Windows.
Perhaps I'm a little bit jaded because I've never had any success getting TV cards to work in Linux.
I even bought a Pinnacle card because I thought it was on the list of devices that were supposed to work, and right enough it was the only one I have that Linux actually recognized as a TV card, but no program that I tried would scan any channels for some reason. - #12Ubuntu Forums are currently down following a security breach but when they come up again try posting your question there.
If you cannot find someone there who can give you a solution then you probably need to give up. - #13You can't install Windows software in Linux. End of.
Curious comment - and unhelpful.
I'm not trying to install Windows software - I'm after the Linux drivers.
However, further to your comment, I have several Window installations on my Linux system - via the Wine emulator. - #14Ubuntu Forums are currently down following a security breach but when they come up again try posting your question there.
If you cannot find someone there who can give you a solution then you probably need to give up.
Perhaps I've been unlucky but the advice on the Linux forums often assumes quite a good knowledge of Linux in the first place and if you ask for clarification on a point you often hit a blank. Post No 8 in this thread (Though not a Linux forum of course) is, perhaps, a good example. The trail often runs cold.
I may give up but I'm a stubborn so & so.

I agree with all this.
Linux can truly shine in other areas however. I put in a sound card that Noah had threw out and it automatically recognised it, installed everything and it works like a dream. Windows wouldn't entertain it.
Looks like from your post however that I may be struggling on this occasion. - #16I agree with all this.

Sounds like you are more willing to faff about that I am, so you might get further.
I don't mind doing a certain amount in the terminal, but I've never tried to compile a driver from scratch. Mainly because you would be copying and pasting from someone who supposedly knew what they were doing. But if something went wrong you could be left floundering (as you mentioned above).
But I know what you mean about older hardware. I've got an old Dell desktop that has a Creative Soundblaster sound card in it that hasn't worked in Windows since XP, but the latest Linuxes (albeit with a lightweight DE), work with it fine.
