📻 Galena SDR

A modern Software Defined Radio (SDR) application, built with Rust and Iced.

⚠️ Note: This project is under active development!

✨ Features

• 🎛️ RTL-SDR - Connect to your RTL-SDR dongle for live radio reception
• 📁 WAV File Playback - Analyze pre-recorded IQ samples from WAV files
• 📊 Real-time Waterfall Display - Visualize the spectrum over time
• 📻 Multiple Demodulation Modes
  • FM (Frequency Modulation)
  • Raw/AM (Amplitude Modulation)
  • More coming!

🔧 Prerequisites

macOS

This application requires libusb (used by rusb → rtl-sdr-rs for USB communication with SDR hardware).

Install with Homebrew:

brew install libusb

Linux

# Debian/Ubuntu
sudo apt install libusb-1.0-0-dev

# Arch
sudo pacman -S libusb

Windows

libusb should be automatically handled by the build system. If you encounter issues, install the Zadig driver for your RTL-SDR device.
