Generic data receiver and decoder using software defined radio
Branch: CURRENT,
Version: 23.11,
Package name: rtl_433-23.11,
Maintainer: pkgsrc-usersrtl_433 (despite the name) is a generic data receiver, mainly for the
433.92 MHz, 868 MHz (SRD), 315 MHz, 345 MHz, and 915 MHz ISM bands.
It works with RTL-SDR and/or SoapySDR. Actively tested and supported are
Realtek RTL2832 based DVB dongles (using RTL-SDR) and LimeSDR (LimeSDR USB
and LimeSDR mini engineering samples kindly provided by MyriadRf), PlutoSDR,
HackRF One (using SoapySDR drivers), as well as SoapyRemote.

If you see the following at runtime error:
Kernel driver is active, or device is claimed by second instance of librtlsdr.
In the first case, please either detach or blacklist the kernel module
(dvb_usb_rtl28xxu), or enable automatic detaching at compile time.
check if dvb_usb_rtl28xxu is loaded as a kernel module with:
lsmod | grep dvb_usb_rtl28xxu
If loaded, unload the kernel module (as root) with:
rmmod dvb_usb_rtl28xxu
To blacklist this module at boot, create
/etc/modprobe.d/dvb-blacklist.conf and add the following:
blacklist dvb_usb_rtl28xxu
This is known to work with Fedora, Debian, and should work with variants of
these Linux distributions.

NOTE: limitations of rtl_433 on NetBSD.
Due to limitations of NetBSD's usb(4)/ugen(4) driver[1], rtl_433 cannot
detect Software Defined Radio (SDR) devices. However, rtl_433 can still
read ('-r') and decode signal data from files written ('-w') by other
rtl_433 instances or read from a rtl_tcp stream ('-d rtl_tcp{...}').
[1] better explanation needed.
