install needed software:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git build-essential cmake libusb-1.0-0-dev python-imaging
git clone https://github.com/keenerd/rtl-sdr.git
mkdir rtl-sdr/build
cd rtl-sdr/build
cmake ..
make rtl_power
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/keenerd/rtl-sdr-misc/master/heatmap/heatmap.py
chmod +x heatmap.py

now anything you need is installed and you can e.g. do those two scans:

sudo killall dump1090-mutability
./src/rtl_power -f 800M:1400M:300K -i 10 -c 50% -g 50 -e 20m -F 9 >scan_800_1400.csv
./src/rtl_power -f 24M:1700M:1M -i 10 -c 50% -g 50 -e 40m -F 9 >scan_24_1700.csv

when both scans are done - plot the graphs:

./heatmap.py scan_800_1400.csv scan_800_1400.png
./heatmap.py scan_24_1700.csv scan_24_1700.png

that’s it :slight_smile:
