Configuring SPY Server in Ubuntu

Below I show how to install SPY Server on Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS x86_64.  Guide was modified from the post on RTL-SDR.com

  • Install the software
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
sudo apt install rtl-sdr librtlsdr-dev\
mkdir spyserver
cd spyserver
wget -O spyserver.tgz https://airspy.com/?ddownload=4262
tar xvzf spyserver.tgz
  • Edit spyserver.config and change line 52 from device_type = Auto to device_type = RTL-SDR.
  • Run SpyServerwith ./spyserver
  • Connect to the server using SDR++, set the source to SpyServer, enter in the server IP and make sure to tick the tick box next to radio for audio.,
