==========About
-----*QRadioLink* is a VOIP (radio over IP) GNU/Linux SDR (software defined radio) transceiver application using Internet protocols for communication,
built on top of [GNU radio](https://www.gnuradio.org/),
which allows experimenting with some software defined radio hardware devices.Supported hardware
---- [**Ettus USRP bus devices**](https://ettus.com), [**RTL-SDR**](https://osmocom.org/projects/sdr/wiki/rtl-sdr), [**ADALM-Pluto (PlutoSDR)**](https://www.analog.com/en/design-center/evaluation-hardware-and-software/evaluation-boards-kits/adalm-pluto.html), (supported with SoapySDR and [**SoapyPlutoSDR**](https://github.com/pothosware/SoapyPlutoSDR)), [**LimeSDR-mini**](https://www.crowdsupply.com/lime-micro/limesdr-mini), [**LimeNET-Micro**](https://wiki.myriadrf.org/LimeNET_Micro) (both through SoapySDR), BladeRF, other devices supported by [**gr-osmosdr**](https://osmocom.org/projects/sdr/wiki/GrOsmoSDR) like HackRF and RedPitaya (not tested)
- [**LimeRFE RF frontend**](https://www.crowdsupply.com/lime-micro/limerfe). Control of the LimeRFE is via the USB connection with automatic tuning based on SDR frequency. Only amateur radio bands are supported, cellular paths are not used. Both simplex and duplex mode are supported.
- FTDI FT232 USB relay boards for RF path switching and external power amplifier control
Requirements
----- Since release 0.8.5, GNU radio version 3.8 is necessary and Qt 5.14 is used for the graphical interface.
- Also since release 0.8.5 the video mode requires gstreamer and libgstreamer-plugins-bad1.0-0
- Build dependencies on Debian 11 with Qt5 and GNU radio 3.8:
$ sudo apt-get install gnuradio-dev protobuf-compiler gr-osmosdr gnuradio libvolk2-dev libvolk2-bin libprotobuf23 libprotobuf-dev libopus0 libopus-dev libspeexdsp1 libspeexdsp-dev libpulse0 libpulse-dev liblog4cpp5v5 libcodec2-0.9 libcodec2-dev libasound2 libasound2-dev libjpeg62-turbo libjpeg62-turbo-dev libconfig++9v5 libconfig++-dev qt5-qmake qtbase5-dev libqt5core5a libqt5gui5 libqt5network5 libqt5sql5 qtmultimedia5-dev libqt5multimediawidgets5 libqt5multimedia5-plugins libqt5multimedia5 libftdi-dev libftdi1 libsndfile1-dev libsndfile1 qtgstreamer-plugins-qt5 libgstreamer-plugins-bad1.0-0 liblimesuite-dev limesuite-udev liblimesuite20.10-1 libzmq3-dev libzmq5 libsoapysdr-dev libsoapysdr0.7 libuhd-dev libuhd3.15.0- A version of qradiolink commpatible with GNU Radio 3.10 and usable with Debian Bookworm and distributions with compatible package versions can be built using the **gr_3.10** branch of this repository
$ sudo apt-get install gnuradio-dev protobuf-compiler gr-osmosdr gnuradio libvolk2-dev libvolk2-bin libprotobuf32 libprotobuf-dev libopus0 libopus-dev libspeexdsp1 libspeexdsp-dev libpulse0 libpulse-dev liblog4cpp5v5 libcodec2-1.0 libcodec2-dev libasound2 libasound2-dev libjpeg62-turbo libjpeg62-turbo-dev libconfig++9v5 libconfig++-dev qt5-qmake qtbase5-dev libqt5core5a libqt5gui5 libqt5network5 libqt5sql5 qtmultimedia5-dev libqt5multimediawidgets5 libqt5multimedia5-plugins libqt5multimedia5 libftdi-dev libftdi1 libsndfile1-dev libsndfile1 qtgstreamer-plugins-qt5 libgstreamer-plugins-bad1.0-0 liblimesuite-dev limesuite-udev liblimesuite22.09-1 libzmq3-dev libzmq5 libsoapysdr-dev libsoapysdr0.8 libuhd-dev libuhd4.3.0For Ubuntu 20.04.3 build dependencies are:
$ sudo apt-get install gnuradio-dev protobuf-compiler gr-osmosdr gnuradio libvolk2-dev libvolk2-bin libprotobuf23 libprotobuf-dev libopus0 libopus-dev libspeexdsp1 libspeexdsp-dev libpulse0 libpulse-dev liblog4cpp5v5 libcodec2-0.9 libcodec2-dev libasound2 libasound2-dev libjpeg-turbo8 libjpeg-turbo8-dev libconfig++9v5 libconfig++-dev qt5-qmake qtbase5-dev libqt5core5a libqt5gui5 libqt5network5 libqt5sql5 qtmultimedia5-dev libqt5multimediawidgets5 libqt5multimedia5-plugins libqt5multimedia5 libftdi-dev libftdi1 libsndfile1-dev libsndfile1 qtgstreamer-plugins-qt5 libgstreamer-plugins-bad1.0-0 liblimesuite-dev liblimesuite20.01-1 libzmq3-dev libzmq5 libsoapysdr-dev libsoapysdr0.7 libuhd-dev libuhd- Qt >= 5.14 and Qt5 development packages (older versions of Qt5 >= 5.11 might work as well)
- qmake
- Pulseaudio or Alsa or Jack
- Gnuradio >= 3.8 built with UHD, SoapySDR support and FreeDV/Codec2 support. Please verify that the following was printed before you (or your distribution's packager) built gnuradio:
-- * gr-vocoder
-- * * codec2
-- * * freedvIn [#67](https://github.com/qradiolink/qradiolink/issues/67) it was reported that it may be necessary to [set some cmake options](https://github.com/qradiolink/qradiolink/issues/67#issuecomment-706307297) In order for [codec2](https://github.com/drowe67/codec2) and it's freedv support to be detected properly.
- Boost and boost-devel
- libgnuradio-osmosdr (gr-osmosdr) built with UHD, RTL-SDR, SoapySDR, HackRF, RedPitaya or BladeRF support
- libprotobuf, libopus, libspeexdsp, libpulse-simple, libpulse, libasound, libcodec2, libsqlite3, libjpeg, libconfig++, libvolk, libftdi, libsndfile1, qtmultimedia5-dev, libqt5multimediawidgets5, libqt5multimedia5, libqt5multimedia5 (gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad for Qt video), libzmq5
- protoc compiler (libprotoc 2.6.1 or greater, depending on which version of libprotobuf is used)
- SoapySDR and SoapyPlutoSDR, SoapyLMS7 are recommended as Soapy has support for many devices
- LimeSuite: liblimesuite-dev liblimesuite20.10-1 used for LimeRFE control
- libuhd and libuhd-devIn order to build on Ubuntu 17.10 you have to install the following packages, assuming a full GNU Radio development environment is already installed. Please note these instructions are for a very old version and are not guaranteed to work with newer versions. It is recommended to follow the Debian install guide and adjust for Ubuntu differences.
$ sudo apt install libconfig++-dev libprotobuf-dev libopus-dev libpulse-dev libasound2-dev libcodec2-dev libsqlite3-dev libjpeg-dev libprotoc-dev libsndfile1 libftdi protobuf-compilerOn Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, replace libjpeg62-turbo and libjpeg62-turbo-dev with libjpeg-turbo8-dev and libjpeg-dev
$ sudo apt install libjpeg-turbo8-dev libjpeg-devBuilding the software from source
------ Clone the Github repository into a directory of your choice
- Change directory to where you have cloned or unzipped the code
- Execute build_debian.sh
$ git clone https://codeberg.org/qradiolink/qradiolink
$ cd qradiolink/
$ git checkout master
$ sh ./build_debian.shOr alternatively:
- Clone the Github repository into a directory of your choice
- Compile the protobuf sources for your system
- Run qmake to generate the Makefile
- Run make (with the optional -j flag)
git clone https://codeberg.org/qradiolink/qradiolink
cd qradiolink/
git checkout master
mkdir -p build
cd src/ext/
protoc --cpp_out=. Mumble.proto
protoc --cpp_out=. QRadioLink.proto
cd ../../build/
qmake ..
make
./qradiolinkYou can add custom library search paths, custom includes paths and specify a different install directory using these variables with qmake:
qmake .. INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local/bin LIBDIR=/opt/lib INCDIR=/opt/includeConfiguration and operation
----HTML documentation is available on the QRadioLink [documentation site](https://qradiolink.org/docs/home/index.html "documentation site")
Bundled documentation:
- See docs/OPERATION.md
- For MMDVM base station operation mode, see docs/README_MMDVM_operation.mdKnown issues
----- When tuning rapidly for a prolonged time (for example by dragging the filter box across the screen), the audio may experience slowdowns and other glitches. As a workaround, click at the desired location on the waterfall instead of dragging.
- Roundtrip latency increases to double over 24 hours of continuous operation with Ettus USRP in MMDVM modes
- Calculated RSSI values for MMDVM RF channels are not always accurateCopyright and License
