Subject: [amsat-bb] GNURadio/gr-satellites preliminary install guide
on Ubuntu
Message-ID: <304ea3d3-e77b-ec3b-8ffe-565b03b16f78@???.?????.???>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed
Spent the most part of today trying to install GNU Radio and
gr-satellites, using a clean install of Kubuntu 19.04 (=Ubuntu with KDE
instead of Gnome), which is the latest release.
I kind of succeeded. GNU Radio Companion is running and gr-satellites is
installed. Most flow graphs don't have missing blocks and compile
correctly. The only part that is missing is that when I execute a
gr-satellite flow graph there is no Xterm popping up. I added the
following lines to .gnuradio/grc.conf, but that didn't make any
difference....
[grc]
xterm_executable = /usr/bin/xterm
Here are the install instructions. I hope they are useful as a reference
to someone.
================================================
Steps to install GNURadio and gr-satellites on (K)Ubuntu 19.04
$sudo apt-get install gnuradio --> will install version 3.7.13.4-4build1
plus dependencies
$sudo apt-get install gr-osmosdr --> will install the block to access a
RTL-SDR stick for testing
$sudo apt-get install xterm --> used by GNURadio
After installing the things above you should be able to start GNU Radio
Companion from menu or command line.
Open a sample flow graph, e.g. an FM receiver flow graph you can find
online, then compile and execute. If it works: success
$sudo apt-get install git --> will install git for cloning git repositories
$mkdir src
$cd src
$git clone https://github.com/daniestevez/gr-satellites.git --> the good
stuff
$git clone https://github.com/daniestevez/libfec.git --> needed for
gr-satellites
$cd libfec
$./configure
$make
$sudo make install
$cd ..
$sudo apt-get install python-pip --> needed to install gr-satellites
dependencies
$pip2 install construct --> installs this gr-satellites dependency
$pip2 install requests --> make sure it has the trailing 's'
$sudo apt-get install swig --> installs this gr-satellites dependency
$apt-get install cmake --> if not installed already
$cd gr-satellites
$mkdir build
$cd build
$cmake ..
$make
$sudo make install
$sudo ldconfig
$cd ..
$./compile_hierarchical.sh --> blocks needed for certain gr-satellites
flow graphs. Don't forget this step and be patient because it will take
a while to complete.
Now you can start GNU Radio Companion and open a flow graph from the app
folder in the source directory of gr-satellites. Compile and execute.
If it works start GQRX, activate the UDP audio stream and start decoding
telemetry.

Hans,
The default terminal in Ubuntu is gnome-terminal and xterm is not
installed, so there is no /usr/bin/xterm. You can install xterm with
sudo apt install xterm or change your xterm_executable =
/usr/bin/gnome-terminal. Actually since you're using Kubuntu, you'll
want to set xterm_executable = /usr/bin/konsole

So half duplex I think was luck as i tried several times and no more
contacts.Had three confirmed QSO's.Iknow full duplex is the way to
go.Without having to get another antenna and more coaxial I wanted to see if
I can hear the SSB birds on my OCF dipole that I finally have up, Well it's
partially up.I can hear them but with a bit of reduction in signal whick
makes sense plus it's RG8U.What I was wondering,Can I get it so that I hear
myself to set up where I am on the downlink then leave as is,or do I need
constantly be? adjusting? the downlink?Maybe when I get the dipole? ?higher
it will help,part of one leg is near the ground but the 45ft leg? is? pretty
good.Other thing is,I have an Icom R10 and plan on getting some good preamps
for the satelllite bands,Do you thing the radio is sensitive enough to work
well with them?Thanks for your help.Rich
