rpi_tetradecode

Docker container to monitor TETRA traffic using your Raspberry Pi and a RTL dongle

This is a Dockerfile to create a Docker Container on a Raspberry Pi to Monitor TETRA traffic.

All here is based on the fine work explained in the following article:

https://www.rtl-sdr.com/rtl-sdr-tutorial-listening-tetra-radio-channels/

You will need:

  • Some knowledge about radio, digital data modes on radio links
  • the knowledge given in the mentioned article!
  • a Raspberry Pi (I tested it on a Pi 4 with 4 GB of RAM)
  • an RTL-SDR RTL2832U dongle
  • a VNC viewer (preferable on the same machine, so that you hear the sound)

Attach the dongle to the Raspberry Pi and set it up accordingly, especially blacklist the dvb_usb_rtl28xxu kernel module.

run the container with

docker run -p 127.0.0.1:5920:5920 --device=/dev/bus/usb:/dev/bus/usb --device /dev/snd --rm -d harenber/rpi_tetradecode:<tag>

and connect a vncviewer to 127.0.0.1:5920, the password will be TestVNC

Arrange the windows and start the example as described in the article.

Enjoy!
