- grandalf 10y agoThings like this are designed to let you easily discover the structure of a protocol for snooping or reverse engineering. You can do all that (and much more) with GNURadio, but this tool offers a streamlined way to do a smaller set of specific things.
- djfergus 10y agoVery different, URH assumes you have the 1's and 0's and wish to decode the protocol. gnuradio is more about implementing and decoding known protocols and interfacing to rx/tx hardware.
- bsder 10y agoEver tried to install gnuradio? It's a nightmare of twisty dependencies. You can either run the obsolete version in your distro or be prepared for a world of pain. And it's made even worse because Qt decided they couldn't be bothered with binary compatibility so a whole bunch of things dependent upon Qt all broke and lots of things now all need to get fixed.
- jokr004 10y agoNo kidding! It's a complete nightmare to set up, urh is significantly simpler to set up and to use.. though of course the other side of that is it's not as powerful as gnuradio
- squarefoot 10y agoGnuradio is much more complex and powerful but looks like it's from engineers for engineers: I could hack together a superhet receiver in a day, but have never been able to do anything with Gnuradio that even pretended to work. This is probably my fault for expecting a radio software to have knobs...
- CamperBob2 10y agoGnuradio is much more complex and powerful but looks like it's from engineers for engineers And a subset of (Linux-literate) engineers, at that. I'd sooner write an SDR from scratch in C than try to get GNU Radio working under Windows.
