.TH "rtl_biast" 1 "0.6.0" RTL-SDR "User Commands"
.SH NAME
rtl_biast \- a tool for turning the RTL-SDR.com bias tee or any GPIO ON and OFF.
.SH DESCRIPTION
Uses a re-purposed DVB-T receiver as a software defined
radio to receive and send I/Q data via TCP network to another
demodulation, decoding or logging apllication. Written for
and incorporated into the osmocom rtl-sdr project.
.LP
Much software is available for the RTL2832. Most of the user-level
packages rely on the librtlsdr library which comes as part of the
rtl-sdr codebase. This codebase contains both the library itself and
also a number of command line tools such as rtl_test, rtl_sdr,
rtl_tcp, and rtl_fm. These command line tools use the library to test
for the existence of RTL2832 devices and to perform basic data
transfer functions to and from the device.
.LP
Because most of the RTL2832 devices are connected using USB, the
librtlsdr library depends on the libusb library to communicate with
the device.
.SH USAGE
Run this program on a machine with an rtl-sdr supported
device connected and it will provide I/Q data to other applications
via TCP/IP.

.B rtl_biast [OPTIONS]
.SH OPTIONS
