VOR Navigator

VOR Navigator is based on vortrack.

Frequency: 144.000000 MHz

Gain: 0 (when directly connecting the HackRF output to the RTL USB input via SMA cable)

Note: When using the RTL USB to track stations, the center frequency may shift due to temperature drift (wish this had a TXCO). You may need to power the RTL USB for several minutes to let it warm up, then run gqrx to find the new stable center frequency.

Build

For rtl sdr :

$ cd vor-nav
$ make

Run

$ cd vor-nav
$ ./vor-nav -g 0 144.00
