Description

USB TV tuner hardware based on Realtek RTL2832U can be used as a general-purpose software-defined radio receiver. This is useful for learning radio signals, receiving public broadcasts, and experimenting with SDR tools.

It is a driver and command-line tool package built from development source, not a normal radio app by itself. Radio reception may be regulated by local rules, and users should avoid decoding or recording signals they are not allowed to handle.
