NAME

       rtl_biast - a tool for turning the RTL-SDR.com bias tee or any GPIO ON and OFF.

DESCRIPTION

       Uses  a  re-purposed  DVB-T  receiver  as  a  software defined radio to receive and send I/Q data via TCP
       network to another demodulation, decoding or logging apllication. Written for and incorporated  into  the
       osmocom rtl-sdr project.

       Much software is available for the RTL2832. Most of the user-level packages rely on the librtlsdr library
       which comes as part of the rtl-sdr codebase. This codebase contains both the library itself  and  also  a
       number of command line tools such as rtl_test, rtl_sdr, rtl_tcp, and rtl_fm. These command line tools use
       the library to test for the existence of RTL2832 devices and to perform basic data transfer functions  to
       and from the device.

       Because  most of the RTL2832 devices are connected using USB, the librtlsdr library depends on the libusb
       library to communicate with the device.

USAGE

       Run this program on a machine with an rtl-sdr supported device connected and it will provide I/Q data  to
       other applications via TCP/IP.
