Description

An Android port of rtl-sdr's rtl_tcp and libhackrf

This app is released under GPL2+ as a derivative work of rtl_tcp and libhackrf. The source code can be found at https://github.com/martinmarinov/rtl_tcp_andro-

This driver could be used by third party applications to implement Software Defined Radio (like SDR Touch)

Keep in mind that this application on its own may not be very useful as it is just a driver. It is able to stream rtl_tcp over the network.

Comments on SDR driver for Android

★★★★★ Andrew Thomas · Jan 20, 2025

Works excellently with RTL-SDR dongles. Great to have it, so we can easily use SDR scanners on Android.

★★★★☆ Robert Berg · Jan 8, 2024

I use this in conjunction with SDR Touch on my phone and love it, I just wish they would bring the driver and SDR Touch to Chrome OS devices.

★★★★★ W M · Nov 10, 2021

Gets the SDR dongle working, super useful to get radio like airband or TV on the go.

★☆☆☆☆ Luke Mallett · Feb 15, 2021

on Start TLDR: found 0 device opening options Hack RF: found 0 device opening options ERROR STARTING! Reason: no_devices_found plugged my s4 mini in & it won't even show indicator lights on. Is it a lack if power issue?

★☆☆☆☆ Drew TuTwenty · Sep 2, 2020

Seems it's not optimized for any recent droid releases at least 9.0 Pie seems to not work at all maybe one day I sent back all the equipment already since it was worthless for now.

★☆☆☆☆ Greg West · Jan 8, 2021

Miserable interface and I'm definitely NOT paying $10 just to get the waterfall

★☆☆☆☆ Adespotos AplhaStray · Jan 17, 2021

Crashing on my Lenovo tablet yt3-x50f model, android 6.0.1, kernel 3.10.49, android security patch 2018 September 01, when using with sdr touch Nooelec SDR SMArt.
