This combine receiver and transmission for experimenting. +To launch it, go to rpitx folder and launch rtlmenu.sh : +```sh +./rtlmenu.sh +``` +You have first to set receiver frequency and gain of rtl-sdr. Warning about gain, you should ensure that you have enough gain to receive the signal but not to strong which could saturate it and will not be usefull by **rpitx**. + +Choose your choice with arrows and enter to start it.**Don't forget, some test are made in loop, you have to press CTRL^C to exit and back to menu.** + + +### Record and play ### +![replay](/doc/replay.png) + +A typical application, is to replay a signal.

There is a lot of modulation to do with it and also documentation to make all that easy to contribute. This will be the next step ! Feel free to inspect scripts, change parameters (frequencies, audio input, pictures...). # Credits
