Absolutely love the video. Thank you for taking the time to put it together. I’ll have to share this all over, pretty sure you’ve described DragonOS better then I have myself, ha! I could honestly sit and listen to you describe and use each and every application. Have an awesome day, Tech Minds.
Thank you! Appreciate you commenting and thanks again for an awesome project, wish I took a look at it a lot sooner! Cheers 🙏
When techminds reviews your stuff, you know you made it!
Nice!!!
@@johnw4414 and he did such an awesome job explaining it all. Heck I need to just replace the install setup with his video! Ha.. only think you might need to add is guest tools for better usb support/usb3 for some of the higher end SDRs.
You're a hero (or heroine) for maintaining this. Big thank you from the community.
DragonOS is great, it's a real achievement to do as one person.
If a community could grow up around packaging the applications then it could easily become the first port of call for an OS for radio hobbyists.
This video is like Christmas Day for those of us who are generally new to SDR. Thanks for the excellent work!
You’re welcome and thanks for watching 🙏
having a full ham radio license, it's also a chrimbo present, to have lots of tools available in a linux distro, well done to the Dragon_OS developers
There is just so much of this hobby to explore, its amazing there are all these signals out there.
The person spearheading this is just absolutely brilliant, also I love his YT channel
Fantastic! I installed VMWare workstation player and installed DragonOS on a VM in just minutes. It took longer to download it than it did to get it running. The VM even had internet access right out of the box. My RTL-SDR was recognized no problem.
Do I have to download kalibrate-rtl, or is it included? If not, I can download it without compromising other tool?
Brilliant ! Got to try this :)
a week ago youtube got me into linux and now i got so much to learn
Wow!! Thank you I will check DragonOS
DragonOS is awesome! Just installing a couple of these applications in Linux can take up a weekend. It's great to have all of this so easily accessible. Hats off to Cemaexecuter for all of his work. And thanks for this video! He also has a Raspberry Pi version, perhaps you could do a video on that one day as well.
Great video I use linux daily nice to see a radio packed linux os 😀👍nice one
I thought I made a comment, anyway thanks for the information been wanting to use SDR + for a long time downloaded Dragon OS focal and SDR + works perfect with my NESDR SMART dongle got all local and ham stations out the box thanks and I will experiment.
Thank you for your videos. They provide a great wealth of information.
You made this easy to understand
installing now! thanks!
Enjoy!
Excellent work
IMSI Catcher, naughty naughty. SS7 is still broken.
Great video…thanks.
Now I got a Raspberry Pi 4 with 8 Gigs, with Dragon Os installed, and it's works well with this Operation System,
I love the open source community
Awesome 😎 now we are cooking on gas! More please 🙏🏻
More to come!
Ooh a new os to add to my ventoy usb.
A word about VmWare. Processing power doesnt really make that much difference, its available cores. But you will need enough RAM(Memory) to ensure enough is available for both the host OS, in this case Windows 10 and the guest Dragon OS. hope that helps someone down the line :) Thanks Matt :) Informative as always, accompanied by excellent audio.
Thanks Jamie! My PC is a bit of a beast and handles anything I throw at it, but you’re right, it’s important to have a decent amount of Ram. For those that don’t, they can just boot straight from the USB disk and not even load windows at all. Thanks for watching Jamie 🙏
@@TechMindsOfficial pleasure was mine Matt! Same here. A Ryzen 9 3900x 12c/24t with 32gb ram. But we're not all blessed with that kind of firepower, so I thought I would leave a comment to help the masses 😃
32GB is a nice sweet spot I think.. I just sold a kidney to buy a 3080 Ti !! lol.. But it’s damm nice 👌
@@TechMindsOfficial Nice! I always wondered why we have 2 kidneys. I guess I know the answer now 🤣 I'm looking to upgrade to the 5950x this year.
GPU prices are just so ridiculous at the moment. I paid nearly £2000 (That’s British Pounds) for this RTX3080Ti, which is almost double RRP. But, it’s a beast of a card and works great with video editing too. I just couldn’t wait until the prices drop lol. Cheers!
Oh, I did not know about this Distribution. I already installed everything on my Xubuntu 21.10. Did you integrate some repositories for your Dragon. It seems this distribution is very well appointed. Thanks for this amazing work.
thank you very mach very good information for my thank you
hi techminds
i use an hackrf one with sdrangel sdr++ and sdr sharp im happy with the results i made with ads b decoding aswell capturing different coded transmissions like pocsag and so on i love to play around with my sdr setup also i recieved a test transmission a few days ago originated from saq grimeton located in sweden it whas a morse code transmission i waiting a long time to recieve also tpms signals all over the place here where i am by the way it whas your video about the hackrf one to bring me to the point to buy one on my own xD
Thanks for watching! I’ve tried TPMS here but I live quite remote so not much activity here.
Thanks man!!!
You’re welcome 🙏
His Sourceforge is getting Hammered! Taking at least 20-30 mins to DL.
KD6TXB here that is true mine still downloading
Awesome 👌
Would be interesting to see if any of these applications do work in Windows under WSL
Good idea! Might try that myself
Thank you I be switching over to dragon
the way u build/usr/src is now working for me sir
Gr-tempest looks interesting…. The ultimate tech minds demo…
I created a video on this already, check it here: czcams.com/video/QjqpKtGNbQo/video.html
Many thanks for the excellent video on installing DragonOS now makes sence to this old fart :)
Youre welcome!
Heres my like 😀😉
Very interesting....
It sure is! Be prepared to lose many hours learning about the pre-installed tools, it’s all good fun! 👍
@@TechMindsOfficial Thank you kindly. Been a ham for decades (KC6GAF), this certainly presents SDR in a turnkey installation! I'd planned to research it at some point, looks like a perfect entryway. And having it on a thumb drive installation makes it even better. (having Ubuntu Linux on a thumb drive can be very useful for all sorts of things...) Cheers...
very cool tnx
Use DragonOS everyday since 2021
Thanks so much for this! I've been trying to install and configure a lot of these tools individually for a while now. Unfortunately, I'm limited on knowledge and time so this will prove a fantastic resource. I was trying and failing with Dump1090 - how does it compare with the SDRAngel you mentioned? Thanks again.
In my opinion Dump1090 is slightly better, due to the inbuilt webserver that displays Aircraft on a locally generated web page. The map on SDRAngel is a little hard to see fully. You could always pipe the ADSB data out to something like Virtual Radar Server though.
@@TechMindsOfficial Thanks! I've just installed DragonOS on an old laptop. Looks good! Quick question, is there a particular thing you need to do to get SDRAngel running, as clicking the icon does nothing! Feel like an IDIOT, even having looked on the help pages! 🤪
@@paulnortham you're not alone, and i must admit, that I can't remember how i got it working. I'll try to get back here with the answer.
@@danpedersen55 I appreciate that!
Hej! Świetnie i merytorycznie opisane funkcje. Fajnie się tego słucha i ogląda. Dla początkujących: jak zainstalowac sterowniki do sdrPlay albo innych usb hardware ?
witaj, strona RTL SDR zawiera wszystkie niezbędne informacje. Pozdrawiam =)
Can you make more video showcasing tools in this OS? Very interesting!
Absolutely! If you go through my past videos I do have quite a few already done, but not specifically running on DragonOS. I’ll defo make some more videos of the tools for sure.
@@TechMindsOfficial Yes please TechMinds, you are a Radio Professor
I would also point out that the os dev cemaxecuter has a channel and he goes into great detail on each of the applications and operations.
damn i wish i hard the hardware to do this!!!!! very very very very cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I heard an alien transmission on your video timelime 7:30 😳
So this looks quite interesting. Now I do have a question before optionally giving the software a try. When I run the VMware player with Dragon OS installed, will it recognize the RSPdx that is connected to my pc?
I tried quite some time ago and at that time the VMware didn't seem to recognize the connected dongles.
Yes, that’s exactly how I use mine. When you plug the RSP or HackRF or RTL, a pop up will display asking if you want the new usb device to connect to the host computer or the virtual computer.
@@TechMindsOfficial Thanks for the quick reply. Will probably give it a try this weekend
Is this the same case for the RSP 1 was wondering if that was the cause of my application vanishing on startup? As I noticed that if I disconnect the RSP1 from the guest OS the application runs all be it without a device .
Nice 👍
Tried it using the same way with VMware but had some bad audio latency issues did you have any problems like that. Using a RSPdx also.
it would be awesome if someone ported this over to arm chips so it would run on raspberry pi..... perfect mobile rig
EDIT it already is.... well now I have to get into sdr lol
Would you give a review, or comparison to another similar distro: pisdr-os ? I'm currently using that distro.
good video. is there any configuration required to get SDR + to work with my RTL dongle? I dont see it listed, when I run the application.
Techminds can i ask what setup you use for audio on the youtube vids. Im asking for a blind ham he loves your audio quality. Thanx.
Of course, no problem.. For the Mic I use a Rode ProCaster, then a DBX 286s Mic PreAmp/Processor. This plugs into the computer via a Focusrite audio interface. Even though I get great audio from the mic through the 286s I also add some post production compression and EQ on the voiceover track within Premiere Pro. Hope that helps!
@@TechMindsOfficial thank you so much he will be chuffed to bits with that info.
Hello sir at TechMinds - fantastic introduction to Dragon OS Focal
I unfortunately have noticed SDR++ crashes when I push the play button and using a HackRF transceiver via USB. This is not the case when I use SDR++ directly on my Windows 11 computer.
At the beginning I was struggling A LOT making it possible to scale the VMware window. After many reinstallations, it is now possible, but alle advices I found at the Internet didn't work for me - why it is working now, I don't know.
Best regards
Bjarke / OZ2BKK
Remove the SoapySDR module/dll and it should run. Or maybe try updating.
@@TechMindsOfficial
Hi sir
You are the man - thanks 🙂
An update is great to do, but it didn't cure this specific issue for me. The cure was removing SoapySDR under "Module Manager" at the left site (press the "-" to the left of SeapySDR and select "yes" when asked to remove).
Best regards
Bjarke / OZ2BKK
Hello i have a question. I have a URAN-1 kit. Would I Benefit able to run this as a gsm base station?
I wonder if I could install this as one of three os systems , windows 10 and ubuntu, then this os. Using the GRUB bootloader?
Yes Mike, you very much could do that, and most linux distros will auto-detect what went before them and do it all for you. Obviously back up anything important first, just in case! Good luck!
I wonder why they just didn't make a PPA
This is not a review. It's an overview. I wish you had explored more of what this software is capable of, especially when you referred to it as the best tool for preinstalled programs. Something this big deserves a proper in depth review.
Hello i watched the video and its just awesome to me. i need to learn ss7 attack i have hackrf one and rest of the things like res pi can you please provide me ss7 attack tutorial.
this just make me want to get hackrf even more,,,,going to get with the portapack..... which aerial would be best to use on the roof?
Depends on frequency you want to receive. Also a bit hard to recommend not knowing your budget or installation limits. Best would antenna for each band, reality would be a decent wire antenna for HF and a Co Linear for 2/70 or a discone. Although I don’t really like discones.
Yooooo it already has sdrtrunk installed!!!!
how did you get the hackrfone to work with SDRAngel? do you need to install packages for the Hackrfone to be reconnized in SDRangle?
Thanks for very interesting video. 73, PA2HO
👍👍👍
Hi How can i listen to the VHF and UHF bounds with hackrf ?
What type of antenna would you recommend for an sdr if your trying to decode universal radio signals?
Good question, but also a little difficult to answer without knowing your budget or if you’re able to install antennas at your property. Personally, I use two main antennas, one is called a dual band co-linear which I have on my roof. This covers vhf and uhf. I then use an End Fed Half Wave wire antenna, which uses a 49:1 transformer at the feed. This antenna is around 22m long. See my video on 49:1 EFHW antenna. However, if you don’t have the space or the budget, I would recommend always going for resonant antennas on the band you wish to use.
@@TechMindsOfficial One last thing, suppose you have multiple sdrs you and multiple raspi for different uses would you recommend using one antenna with an amp and a splitter to avoid having to use multiple antennas?
Will focal work on a pi ?
hi all... the OS is good , and has plenty of nice stuff there already installed. I intend to use it live 24/7 on a dedicated mini pc. ofc i`ll connect with RDP to it, but here we get the audio issue popping out ... How do you solve the missing audio when xrdp to your machine ? pulse-audio script is not working on our DragonOS... any ideas please?
Trying this out got vm installed and Dragon os locks up while loading. Any tips. I would like to get this installed on an old laptop so it's dedicated to sdr only
Any idea why SDR++ would crash on launch? No error message. With or without SDR dongle inserted. Toshiba Portege I3 with 4gb
does this work with the rtl sdr v3 dongle
Does this fileset include the wx2img software?
Can I install this on a nano pi2 V4?
Hello How can I Disable the password entry request at system startup? i try with sudo raspi-config but never change.... Thank you!
Not sure if this is a proper place for asking, but after installing VMware and running the live DragonOS I try to install the OS but get stuck because display resolution is not correct.
I can't seem to get all info on screen. The virtual machine is not showing in the right resolution and I don't know how to alter this. Help would be appreciated
I’ve really only tried virtual box but I suspect maybe with VMware the resolution could be altered if there’s guest tools installed. If I get a chance, I’ll see how the resolution looks on VMware.
Needs a raspberry pi 4 build!
There is one, look through comments for link.
compatible for raspberry pi?
I have a question how much disk space is used for Dragon os focal I got a 128GB SSD drive just to run Dragon os focal on it and its using half of that space 52GB I must have installed it wrong when I use the df command it gives funny numbers can you or anyone help. Thanks in advance.
Hi I cannot get Dragon OS to run on VMWare. It does not install. I get start PXE over IPv4. I managed to get Kali Linux running on VMWare. Downloaded the dragon focalIXi_R29.1 iso file.
Can you do a duo boot with windows
Good evening, please can you help me with SigPloit information, where can I find the program outside of github (DragonOS Focal is not), thank you very much for your reply and you can give us information
Good morning, i installed it on raspberry pi 3B, but impossible to configure audio output. How to do please ? Can you help me please .
F5SSB/PY6
Does it decrypt Moto BP?
Thanks for the video. I think I'll need to stick with Windows.
So how does this compare with the skywave linux distro that similarly focuses on HAM use?
The new version, skywavelinux-4.1.0., is pretty much useless to the average Linux user. They switched to the i3 Window Manager. So you pretty much run from the keyboard with no mouse. It won't install to a hard drive. Its liveboot. I played with it for a few days and finally trashed it. Your experience might be different.
@@keslimmer Thanks, I'm glad i asked. I've not tried either yet, but I've got an old laptop earmarked. I'd seen the instructions for setting up skywave and they gave me a few doubts. I've had trouble in the past trying to fix a faulty dual boot so i'm overly cautious.
@@redf7209 It will run on a Virtual Machine. So you won't hurt anything on your host. It just won't store any changes.
I wonder if it will run on a pi. 🤔
DragonOS PI64 edition will run on the Pi 3/4, although I only run it on a pi4.
Can it jam 2.4GHz?
very good video, have downloaded and got DragonOS running in VMware WS was interested in testing out SDR ++ but it opens and just vanishes any ideas? :-)
Thanks’ for the Video
Might be able to pull up a terminal then start it by running sdrpp to see what is failing
@@cemaxecuter7783 I'll give that a go later today and report back . Thanks 👍
@@ciscokiduk no problem and just a quick question, does it vanish before clicking on anything or does it happen after trying to start something? I’m just thinking there is a bug per say when trying to use the hackrf with the hackrf source instead of the soapy source. Easy workaround I can explain, but I’ll wait and see when/how it’s vanishing for you.
@@cemaxecuter7783 hi thanks for the reply , yes its vanishing on startup , but if I disconnect the RSP1 from the guest OS it starts.so I think it's something with the how the guest OS is seeing the RSP1 maybe.
Thanks for the video, I have the Dragon OS installed as shown, however SDR++ won't recognise either my Airspy R2 or Airspy HF+ and thus won't start, I have chosen the option to connect to a virtual machine, in the 'Removable Device' menu it shows as connected, But even the serial number is not showing Am I missing something?
Update* Reinstalled everything, Airspy HF+ is now recognised and working, but not Airspy R2, Even an old generic Rtl Tv Dongle works with SDR++ and Cubic SDR, Not my R2, Although its serial number will now show in SDR++,
Change back to Windows and my Airspy R2 works perfectly with SDR console.
I am having the same problem. But I do get the serial number on SDR++. My knowledge of LINUX ans VMware is minimal, so any help would be most appreciated.
I’ll check to see if my air spy works out of the box, if not, I’ll let you know what steps I took for it to work. Also, check the SDR++ GitHub page, it may be a known issue with a fix.
@@TechMindsOfficial Many thanks for thre reply and info.
Strange on the Airspy R2 as I have one here, but I haven’t tried it with a VM. I’ve only used it on a laptop either booted live with DragonOS Focal or it’s been installed to the SSD. I’ll have to try in a Vm.
Checked real quick with a Mac desktop running virtual box. I was able to start up a Vm with virtual box, plug in the Airspy R2 to the Mac and under virtual box devices could see and select the Airspy. Then within DragonOS Focal the command SoapySDRUtil -find in a terminal shows the device and within SDR++ the device is usable. I’ll have to try again with VMware as soon as I can.
It would be awesome if you moderated some of the fake YT accounts spamming your comments about crypto.....
I do normally, but I was sleeping, I havnt figured out how to moderate comments while sleeping yet 🤣 thanks for letting me know :) 👍
DOS is good
is there any way to use this without a antenna?
Nope, would need an antenna and sdr receiver
You could tap into an antenna further away that you could put in place if you are looking to be discrete
Actually, there is. SDRSharp allows you to connect to remote SDRs that you can control and monitor over the internet.
ive tried one of these types of sdr linux distros and it ran like complete trash i think it was called skyware or skywave dont remember the name but do remember it running like trash if this runs like Ubuntu or Manjaro or Windows 10 im going to try running it on a raspberry pi and my computer is old and runs slow but windows seems to run smoother than all the Linux distros I've tried
DragonOS will lose all downloaded files after restarting in the VMware. I don't know how to fix it.
Run the installer on the Desktop to actually install it in your VM.
DragonOS is based on lubuntu? Skip the VM and just run it natively.
Yep, I would totally recommend this..
@@TechMindsOfficial I’m already running lubuntu 20.04 on my desktop, so once I’ve got an SDR dongle, I’ll be installing the packages I need
I wish you would have shown how you got this stuff to work cause i cant even get the hackrf to work or be seen
When you plug the HackRF in, with DragonOS running (assuming you are on VMWare) then you will get a pop up to ask whether the HackRF should connect to the Host or DragonOS. Once connected it should be visible top right.
@@TechMindsOfficial only when you put it in dfu it shows up
Are you using a Portapack?
It generally is plug and share within the Vm, but I don’t know if it’ll work if you’re using a porta pack like tech minds mentioned. You’ll also need the hackrf to be on the 2021 or later firmware as DragonOS will be wanting at least that version.
@@TechMindsOfficial Thank you
Would it work on raspberry pi 3
There’s the DragonOS Pi64 image that’ll work on the Pi3/4. I’ve only used the Pi4 though, so not sure how the Pi3 does with it. Also on sourceforge.
There is also PISDR for this purpose.
Virtual Machines don't Work with SDRs, that are connected to my Computer,
Nice one, Matt! Welcome to the wonderful world of RF on Linux! :-) I also enjoyed the "FT8 *hack/spit*" moment. What are your feelings about JS8Call?
Haha I didn’t know if I should leave that in, but I did lol.. JS8CALL is an awesome creation. I plan to use it more myself and maybe do some videos on it.
You really need a 12 core CPU and at least 32 gigs of ram to really use this program to its fullest, along with plenty of high speed USB IO.
What if I use such tools on VM?
I'm gonna try a new Linux distro. Let's run it under Windows! 🤦
Tried on my older laptop and it will not run.
Thanks a shame.
That stinks. Is it at least a 64bit processor? I’ve generally been able to pull laptops out of scrap piles, literally, and get it booted live. There’s been a few though with weird boot problems.
