Thanks for the reply. I had an issue with the PPM setting that needed adjustment. I also need to find a solution for the high gain. I added a blacklist entry that frees up the receiver, decoupling it from the DVB-T receiver.

First create the following file (copy past from sudo all the way to last EOF)

sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/exclusions-rtl2832.conf <<EOF
# Blacklist host from loading modules for RTL-SDRs to ensure they
# are left available for the Docker guest.

blacklist dvb_core
blacklist dvb_usb_rtl2832u
blacklist dvb_usb_rtl28xxu
blacklist dvb_usb_v2
blacklist r820t
blacklist rtl2830
blacklist rtl2832
blacklist rtl2832_sdr
blacklist rtl2838

Do you mean OpenWebRX+ 1.2.117 SD Card Image for 64bit Raspberry Pi ?

 

RasPi 3 probably doesn't have enough processing power, and although it has 64-bit ARM core with a 32-bit GPU, the usual RasPi OS is only 32-bit.

 

I'd suggest minimum RasPi 4 (or even better a 5) hardware, to be able to take full advantage of OWR+.

Good evening to the group. I have an RPi 3B and installed OpenWebRx from the official site (dated 11/10/2023), and it works very well. However, when I installed OpenWebRx version 1.2.117 from LZ2SSL, I get no VHF/UHF/HF reception at all. In the first instance, the system recognizes the SDR as an RTL-SDR, whereas in the second, it recognizes it as a DVB TV receiver. Does anyone have any idea what I should do? The waterfall display is blue, but there is no signal reception. All settings seem to work, yet there is no reception. Thanks in advance.

The issue is that 32 bit installations are not compatible with the C FREEDV RADE decoder. 
I re-installed OpenWebRX+ as 64bit and RADEL/RADEU was included by default.

I am running openwebrx+ on my Debian box (AMD64) and I was able to compile the software into a .deb file, then install the deb.  I'm not related to the project at all, but I'll try to help if I can.  

 

At https://github.com/peterbmarks/radae_decoder  I followed the instructions under "Install dependencies (Debian/Ubuntu)".  I then followed the "quick build" under  "Debian Package for webrx_rade_decode" .

 

A .deb file was built, then I used dpkg to install it.

 

It installed a file /usr/bin/webrx_rade_decode

 

I restarted openwebrx+ and boom!  there were new modes listed as "RADEU" and "RADEL".  I tried using it a bit on what I thought were FreeDV signals and it did not seem to be working.  No sound.  But maybe the signal was too weak or somthing because as I was scanning the bands last night, I ran across the Tuesday night FreeDV net and it worked flawlessly.

 

I don't know what platform you're trying to run openwebrx+ on, but it looks like the RADE decoder page has good instructions for MAC also.  If on a Raspberry PI, then I'm guessing the Debian instructions MAY work on there.  I don't know.  I hope this is of some help.
