Way yo fix is it add some drivers to black list and +next time when you will plug rtlsdr this drivers will not be loaded. + +Check if rtlsdr related drivers is loaded: +```bash +  lsmod | grep rtl28 +``` +If there is some drivers then balcklist driver by creating file +in */etc/modprobe.d/* with content: +``` +  blacklist dvb_usb_rtl28xxu +``` +Next thing that could appear is permissions on rtlsdr usage when its pluged in. +To allow everyone to use create file in */etc/udev/rules.d/* with content: +``` +  SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0bda", ATTRS{idProduct}=="2838", \ +  GROUP="adm", MODE="0666", SYMLINK+="rtl_sdr" +``` + +### 1.3.Check if works + +How to test if rtlsdr works? Run one of commands: +  rtl_test + +I like to run rtl_adsb as you can see there that something is recieved and +you see that everything "works": +  rtl_adsb + +There should be line by line showing up some "hex" lines. If some data is showen +then adsb data from plains is recieved. + +## 2.Collection of tools   + + +### 2.1.FM + +Get some sound trancmited from FM radio stations. + +```bash +  rtl_fm -f 96.3e6 -M wbfm -s 200000 -r 48000 - | aplay -r 48k -f S16_LE +``` + + +### 2.2.Spectrum diagram + +Scan spectrum to find some activities on different frequencies. +Good link with all description is http://kmkeen.com/rtl-power/ .  +Main usage of rtl_power is : +```bash +  rtl_power -f 76M:108M:125k -i 1 fm_stations.csv +``` +and then draw image : +```bash +  heatmap.py fm_stations.csv fm_stations.png +``` + +### 2.3.ADSB + +ADS-B ( Automatic dependent surveillance broadcast ) in simple words airplain +geoposition, speed, height and flight number broadcasting. You can recieve +this data and see how many plains is around and sometimes flight number. + +rtlsdr have default one rtl_adsb programm but it shows only recieved data, +without any decoding.
