HACKRF / Funcube dongle support?

hackrf works but not with a raspberry pi - you need hardware that can handle a higher sample rate coming in to the gr-satnogs script (if you go too low on the hackrf the performance is horrible).

As for funcube dongles they are not supported today as they are seen as audio devices and need their own source blocks in gr (as opposed to osmosdr). This could be done by a different script and intercepting the device selection in client to select the other script set, but that’s a lot of work that just hasn’t been done yet. We’ve been advising people to get a $25 rtlsdr instead, as it performs wonderfully.
