Hi all,

Clone the code.

Code Select Expand

git clone https://github.com/ON5HB/play_sdr.git
Install the API 2.13 that is cloned also.

Compile with just the 'make' command and copy the sdr_play in /usr/local/bin

That is the most part done.

The start-script, 9MHz spectrum and 8MHz bandfilter-width...

#!/bin/bash

killall -s 9 spectrumserver
killall -s 9 sdr_play

sleep 2

play_sdr -f 4500000 -s 9000000 -b 8000 -d 1 -R 34 -A 1 - | ./build/spectrumserver --config config-rsp1a.toml > /dev/null 2>&1 &

exit

Now the TOML I used to test....you may want to adjust it to your needs.
