AirNav Radar Discussion / Re: Cannot configure airband receiver on Rpi 5
« Last post by abcd567 on Today at 01:06:49 AM »
I have today build rtl-airband-rb.deb arm64 package for RPi running Bookworm using source code at https://github.com/szpajder/RTLSDR-Airband. Tested it on my RPi 4 running Bookworm, and it works perfectly well. Please see attached screenshot.

I have uploaded this .deb package to my github repository. Anyone can download and install it by following method:

STEP 1 of 2: Download and Install
Code: [Select]


wget https://github.com/abcd567a/temp/releases/download/pythhon3.12/rtl-airband-rb_10.0.0_bookworm_arm64.deb

sudo dpkg -i rtl-airband-rb_10.0.0_bookworm_arm64.deb


The second command above will halt midway and give notice of missing dependencies. Do not worry. When this happens, issue following command, which will install missing dependencies and complete the installation.
Code: [Select]
sudo apt --fix-broken install




STEP 2 of 2: CONFIGURE
Open config file for editing
Code: [Select]
sudo nano /etc/rtl-airband-rb.conf


(2.1) It is a long file. Scroll down and add your particulars in these two lines:

         mountpoint = "EXTVHFXXXXXX"; 
        username = "<RadarBox Login E-mail>";
          password = "<radarBox Password>";
 
(2.2) You will also be required to set frequencies of your local airport in following line

      freqs = ( 118000000, 119550000, 126000000 );
      labels = ( "Tower", "Ground", "Approach" );



CONTENTS OF CONFIG FILE /etc/rtl-airband-rb.conf
Code: [Select]
# This is a minimalistic configuration file for rtl-airband
# Please change frequencies that you will use and other settings.
#
# Note: this configuration will use your second dongle attached
# to you raspberry, not the first one!
#
# index = 0     => First dongle
# index = 1     => Second dongle


devices:
({
  type = "rtlsdr";
  index = 1;
  gain = 28;
  correction = 0;
  mode = "scan";
  channels:
  (
    {
          #squelch = 35;  # Uncomment to set squelch manually
      freqs = ( 118000000, 119550000, 126000000 );
      labels = ( "Tower", "Ground", "Approach" );
      outputs: (
        {
          type = "icecast";
          server = "audio.rb24.com";
          port = 8000;
          mountpoint = "EXTVHFXXXXXX";
          name = "My Transmitter";
          genre = "ATC";
          username = "<RadarBox Login E-mail>";
          password = "<radarBox Password>";
          send_scan_freq_tags = true;
        }
                # If you need more outputs, put here

      );
    }
  );
 }
);
