🔥 SYNOPSIS 🔥

Literally just one line:

airspy_rx

🌈 OPTIONS 🌈

Usage:

• -r <filename> — Dump the received data into the file you name 📁, and stdout will also spit out values on standard output 💖
• -s <serial number> — Open the device using its specified 64bits serial number 🔑
• -f <frequency> — Set the frequency in MHz, somewhere between 9 kHz - 31 MHz or 60 - 260 MHz 📻
• -a <sample_rate> — Set the sample rate. Right now only 768 kS/s is supported, so that's the only one that slaps 🫶
• -n <#samples> — How many samples to transfer. The default is unlimited, no cap, fr fr 🌸
• -d — Verbose mode, for when you want all the tea ☕
• -w — Receive data into a file with a WAV header and an automatic name 🎀 This is for SDR# compatibility and may not work with other software. It works even with HDSDR 💜
• -g on|off — HF AGC on / off ✨
• -l high|low — HF AGC threshold high / low, but only when AGC is On 🌸
• -t <value> — HF attenuator value, 0..8. Each step bumps the attenuation up by 6 dB 🦋
• -m on|off — on activates the LNA (preamplifier) for +6 dB gain, which gets compensated in digital 🧚
• -z — Don't even try the manual AGC/LNA commands. This is useful for dodging errors with old firmware 💀
