Hi, I have downloaded, as well as installed on vMware, an ubuntu distribution, in which there are all the tools to operate, including gr-gsm and others, such as kalibrate-hackrf. The problem is that I am unable to use it with SDR-RTL. I thought that it was compatible with sdr-rtl too.

I have entered the command "kal -s GSM900", and it appears the following message: "no hackrf device found". I have ran "kal -h", and it appears this:

Where options are:
        -s      band to scan (GSM850, GSM-R, GSM900, EGSM, DCS, PCS)
        -f      frequency of nearby GSM base station
        -c      channel of nearby GSM base station
        -b      band indicator (GSM850, GSM-R, GSM900, EGSM, DCS, PCS)
        -a      rf amplifier enable
        -g      vga (bb) gain in dB, 0-40dB, 8dB step
        -l      lna (if) gain in dB, 0-62dB, 2dB step
        -d      rtl-sdr device index
        -e      initial frequency error in ppm
        -E      manual frequency offset in hz
        -v      verbose
        -D      enable debug messages
        -h      help

It seems that it offers the possibility of using with rtl-sdr, but I don't know what is the right command's syntax. It says to digit "d", but I am unable to figure out how to use it with my rtl-sdr. Any suggestion?

Thank you.

You are looking for kalibrate-rtl, which is a different piece of software.

How can I build it without installing it? Is possible running the software in binary mode?
