## Tuner Configurations ##
|
||||
|
||||
SDRTrunk allows you to define multiple named tuner configurations per tuner
|
||||
type. A **Default** configuration is automatically created the first time you
|
||||
use each specific tuner type and will be recreated again if you accidentally
|
||||
delete or rename the **Default** configuration.
|
||||
|
||||
Each time you plug your USB tuner into a new USB port, it will automatically
|
||||
use the **Default** tuner configuration. If you select a different named
|
||||
configuration, SDRTrunk will remember to use that named configuration each time
|
||||
you use the USB tuner in that specific USB port. If you create a named
|
||||
configuration for your tuner and subsequently move the tuner to a different
|
||||
USB port, simply select that named configuration from the drop-down list and it
|
||||
will store that port to named configuration setting.
|
||||
|
||||
All changes to a named configuration are automatically saved.
|
||||
|
||||

## Using the Airspy ##
|
||||
|
||||
## Updating Firmware ##
|
||||
|
||||
The firmware label shown on the Info tab is the GIT revision label that was
|
||||
tagged against the software release. SDRTrunk does not support
|
||||
flashing the Airspy with new firmware. Use the Airspy tools to update the
|
||||
tuner.
|
||||
|
||||
## Using Airspy With Linux ##
|
||||
|
||||
If you've never setup your airspy for linux, you'll need to add permissions to allow users to access the airspy:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Copy the file **\config\52-airspy.rules** from the sdrtrunk application folder to your **\etc\udev\rules.d** folder. You'll need root permissions to access the rules.d folder.
|
||||
2. After creating the rules file, either reboot or run the command **udevadm control --reload-rules** as root to instruct udev to reload all rule files.
