SDR++ IAK: A Modified Version of SDR++ Available on the Google Play Store

SDR++ is a popular general-purpose SDR receiver program, commonly used by RTL-SDR enthusiasts. It works on all platforms, including Android; however, the original author has not expressed interest in officially publishing it on the Google Play Store, so sideloading the APK has been the only way to get it on Android.

Recently, we've learned of an unofficial SDR++ fork called "SDR++ iak" that is now on the Google Play Store. The iak fork by OK1IAK includes several improvements, notably a touch-friendly UI overhaul, various crash fixes, KiwiSDR world-map directory, radiosonde decoder, and support for the QRP Labs QMX transceiver.

SDRSharp Guide V4.2 Released

Paolo Romani (IZ1MLL) has recently released version 4.2 of his SDRSharp PDF Guide. The book is available for download on the Airspy downloads page, just scroll down to the title "SDR# Big Book in English".

As before the document is a detailed guide about how to use SDRSharp, which is the software provided by Airspy. While intended for Airspy devices, SDRSharp also supports a number of third party SDRs, including the RTL-SDR, and it is the software we recommend starting with when using an RTL-SDR.
