I have the RTL SDR and SDRTouch and used the crap out of it on my android tablet. Now the USB no longer works on the tablet. I have a smaller one but it keeps telling me I need to root it to make this work.
@@waggonfm The shortwave is full of radio amateurs using USB and LSB and there are some other utilities such as Aviation Volmets, number stations etc. with this type of modulation.
Can you explain how to "ROOT" an older Samsung phone (such as a Galaxy Grand Prime)? I have everything I need to get the phone and dongle operating, but phone refuses to see the dongle connection. I suspect your referring to tethering the two together. Tried to turn the tethering on, and it refuses to turn on. Need a bit of help here, getting it working. Can you help?
A scanner is a device with the ability search for signals without manually tuning. The search , pause, delay, frequency or spectrum is definable by the user. This is a receiver, not a scanner.
Interesting integration. I was just wandering what is the adapter between the rtl and the phone ... if u can give some details or link to buy would be great
Your definitely not gonna be able to monitor Trucked Phase 2 P25 frequencies. But if your like me & live in LA then you'll at least monitor some of your Fire stations & maybe a Dispatch or 2 if there in your area
But it is mantioned in the description of app that hacked device is needed for this application !! What's really mean by that ? How to hack such device ?
What is the frequency range of this app? Video showed user tuning into 160 MHz and 88 MHz is all frequencies this can pick up, or can it receive a wide spectrum like 0-900 MHz?
This works on my new android phone. The older versions of android don't support this. I have a tablet with a cracked screen that I want to root and use as a portable SDR receiver. The antenna that came with my SDR (RTL-SDR dongle) has a huge (rabbit ears)antenna and I'd like to find something smaller but works just as good. No baby monitors in my area. around the 160Mhz area there are POCSAG traffic the 152mhz area theres sometimes 2 way radio traffic. Of course FM radio sounds amazing on this device AND I can record broadcasts. I had this on my Nextbook tablet but the USB died on it. Any issues with running USB OTG with this does it draw a lot of power?
It does draw some juice. But that is, of course, relative to the model. And the battery capacity of the phone. You could also use a Bluetooth headset battery to give it its own RECHARGABLE power supply. Or a powered hub....my choice. One OTG, then hub, then this, a USB flash drive of your choice, perhaps a wireless mouse/keyboard Reciever usb, or whatever else. If the hub is 5v, a usb carcharger to convert 12VDC to 5v in a car, and you’ve got yourself a car infotainment system. Bluetooth Reciever outputs rca to the inputs of a car amp for the stereo.
Cell phones, and cell phone data is heavily encrypted; even if you could crack the algorithm it would change by the next call, not to mention the fact that cell phones use Spread Spectrum and -db technology to maximize usage of their bands... no, friend you can't listen... you could see the calls on the waterfall but you couldn't listen... 1.) pretty sure 99.99% of all RTLSDR's do not have a Phase Modulation option 2.) the algorithm for encryption is assigned anew, to each call and each phone, every time call is made -the radio at the cell site doesn't even know what the algorithm will be 3.) haven't seen any SDR programs that can do Spread Spectrum (frequency hopping) 4.) getting a PLL (phase lock loop) on the crappy RTL detector circuit for -db signals is damn near impossible without some serious shielding... 5.) have yet to see any other radio wave modulations that work on the z-axis (Phase Modulated) of a radio wave for SDR's I'm not saying it can't be done; but it's damn near impossible with this
Try learning about GSM Data spoofing, if you are quite skilled to understand it. Otherwise, no for a beginner who thinks plugging in a dongle on their mobile will instantly work and expect to hear cretins speaking on their mobiles.
get a cheap and used Anrdoid phone from Amazon or Ebay, or try this cool Phablet: www.aliexpress.com/item/Chuwi-Vi7-Quad-Core-3G-Tablets-Android-5-1Intel-SoFIA-AtomX3-C3230-1GB-RAM-8GB-ROM/32608176812.html
i cant walk well because im malnutritioned..however i will due what i can in the meantime try to get CLEAN safe food and water. because i dont use a police scanner and im not sure how to use my cell phone anyhow.
Depends on the radio managing CHIP of RTL usb stick, the freq range for the major two is: E4000 52~2200 MHz while R82xx 24~1766 MHz source: sdr.osmocom.org/trac/wiki/rtl-sdr
SDR# is P25 capable. Look up Tahoe Steve's channel he's got a basic tutorial. You'll need two dongles to track a trunked system. Not sure how well android does with 2 sdr's on a hub. Get better sdr's than the one in the video, one with a temp compensated oscillator.
