## AI Use
|
||||
## Community
|
||||
|
||||
This project was built with the help of AI — as a tool, not a shortcut.
|
||||
I spent significant time reviewing, fixing, testing, and validating the code to ensure it works as intended.
|
||||
|
||||
This started as a personal project and was released to help more people get into **Software Defined Radio** by lowering the barrier to entry.
|
||||
|
||||
AI is no different from using a power tool instead of a hand screwdriver: it helps you work faster, not care less. What matters is that the software works, solves a real problem, and is open for others to learn from and improve.

|
||||
|
||||
### No SDR devices found
|
||||
- Ensure your SDR device is plugged in
|
||||
- Check `rtl_test` (RTL-SDR) or `SoapySDRUtil --find` (LimeSDR/HackRF)
|
||||
- On Linux, you may need udev rules (see setup.sh output)
|
||||
- On Linux, blacklist the DVB-T driver:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
echo "blacklist dvb_usb_rtl28xxu" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-rtl.conf
|
||||
sudo modprobe -r dvb_usb_rtl28xxu
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### No messages appearing
|
||||
- Verify the frequency is correct for your area
|
||||
- Adjust the gain (try 30-40 dB)
|
||||
- Check that pager services are active in your area
|
||||
- Ensure antenna is connected
|
||||
|
||||
### WiFi monitor mode fails
|
||||
- Ensure you're running as root/sudo
|
||||
- Check your adapter supports monitor mode: `iw list | grep monitor`
|
||||
- Try: `airmon-ng check kill` to stop interfering processes
|
||||
|
||||
### Device busy error
|
||||
- Click "Kill All Processes" to stop any stale processes
|
||||
- Unplug and replug the SDR device
|
||||
- Check if another application is using the device: `lsof | grep rtl`
|
||||
|
||||
### LimeSDR/HackRF not detected
|
||||
- Ensure SoapySDR is installed: `SoapySDRUtil --info`
|
||||
- Check the driver module is loaded: `SoapySDRUtil --find`
|
||||
- Verify permissions (may need udev rules or run as root)
|
||||
|
||||
### GPS dongle not detected
|
||||
- Ensure pyserial is installed: `pip install pyserial`
|
||||
- Check the device is connected: `ls /dev/ttyUSB* /dev/ttyACM*` (Linux) or `ls /dev/tty.usb*` (macOS)
|
||||
- Verify permissions: you may need to add your user to the `dialout` group (Linux):
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
sudo usermod -a -G dialout $USER
|
||||
```
|
||||
- Most GPS dongles use 9600 baud rate (default in INTERCEPT)
|
||||
- The GPS needs a clear view of the sky to get a fix
|
||||
Contributions and improvements welcome.

## Linux udev Rules
|
||||
|
||||
If your SDR isn't detected, add udev rules:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
sudo bash -c 'cat > /etc/udev/rules.d/20-rtlsdr.rules << EOF
|
||||
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0bda", ATTRS{idProduct}=="2838", MODE="0666"
|
||||
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0bda", ATTRS{idProduct}=="2832", MODE="0666"
|
||||
EOF'
|
||||

```
|
||||
|
||||
Then unplug and replug your device.
|
||||
|
||||
## Blacklist DVB-T Driver (Linux)
|
||||
|
||||
The default DVB-T driver conflicts with rtl-sdr:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
echo "blacklist dvb_usb_rtl28xxu" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-rtl.conf
|
||||

# Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
Solutions for common issues.
|
||||
|
||||
## Python / Installation Issues
|
||||
|
||||
### "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'flask'"
|
||||
|
||||
Install Python dependencies first:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
pip install -r requirements.txt
|
||||
|
||||
# Or with python3 explicitly
|
||||
python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### "TypeError: 'type' object is not subscriptable"
|
||||
|
||||
This error occurs on Python 3.7 or 3.8. **INTERCEPT requires Python 3.9 or later.**
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Check your Python version
|
||||
python3 --version
|
||||
|
||||
# Ubuntu/Debian - install newer Python
|
||||
sudo apt update
|
||||
sudo apt install python3.11 python3.11-venv python3-pip
|
||||
|
||||
# Run with newer Python
|
||||
python3.11 -m venv venv
|
||||
source venv/bin/activate
|
||||
pip install -r requirements.txt
|
||||
sudo venv/bin/python intercept.py
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### "externally-managed-environment" error (Ubuntu 23.04+, Debian 12+)
|
||||
|
||||
Modern systems use PEP 668 to protect system Python. Use a virtual environment:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Option 1: Virtual environment (recommended)
|
||||
python3 -m venv venv
|
||||
source venv/bin/activate
|
||||
pip install -r requirements.txt
|
||||
sudo venv/bin/python intercept.py
|
||||
|
||||
# Option 2: Use the setup script (auto-creates venv if needed)
|
||||
./setup.sh
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### "pip: command not found"
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Ubuntu/Debian
|
||||
sudo apt install python3-pip
|
||||
|
||||
# macOS
|
||||
python3 -m ensurepip --upgrade
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Permission denied during pip install
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Install to user directory
|
||||
pip install --user -r requirements.txt
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## SDR Hardware Issues
|
||||
|
||||
### No SDR devices found
|
||||
|
||||
1. Ensure your SDR device is plugged in
|
||||
2. Check detection:
|
||||
- RTL-SDR: `rtl_test`
|
||||
- LimeSDR/HackRF: `SoapySDRUtil --find`
|
||||
3. On Linux, add udev rules (see below)
|
||||
4. Blacklist conflicting drivers:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
echo "blacklist dvb_usb_rtl28xxu" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-rtl.conf
|
||||
sudo modprobe -r dvb_usb_rtl28xxu
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Linux udev rules for RTL-SDR
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
sudo bash -c 'cat > /etc/udev/rules.d/20-rtlsdr.rules << EOF
|
||||
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0bda", ATTRS{idProduct}=="2838", MODE="0666"
|
||||
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0bda", ATTRS{idProduct}=="2832", MODE="0666"
|
||||
EOF'
|
||||
|
||||
sudo udevadm control --reload-rules
|
||||
sudo udevadm trigger
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Then unplug and replug your RTL-SDR.
|
||||
|
||||
### Device busy error
|
||||
|
||||
1. Click "Kill All Processes" in the UI
|
||||
2. Unplug and replug the SDR device
|
||||
3. Check for other applications: `lsof | grep rtl`
|
||||
|
||||
### LimeSDR/HackRF not detected
|
||||
|
||||
1. Verify SoapySDR is installed: `SoapySDRUtil --info`
|
||||
2. Check driver is loaded: `SoapySDRUtil --find`
|
||||
3. May need udev rules or run as root
|
||||
|
||||
## WiFi Issues
|
||||
|
||||
### Monitor mode fails
|
||||
|
||||
1. Ensure running as root/sudo
|
||||
2. Check adapter supports monitor mode: `iw list | grep monitor`
|
||||
3. Kill interfering processes: `airmon-ng check kill`
|
||||
|
||||
### Permission denied when scanning
|
||||
|
||||
Run INTERCEPT with sudo:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
sudo python3 intercept.py
|
||||
# Or with venv:
|
||||
sudo venv/bin/python intercept.py
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Interface not found after enabling monitor mode
|
||||
|
||||
Some adapters rename when entering monitor mode (e.g., wlan0 → wlan0mon). The interface should auto-select, but if not, manually select the monitor interface from the dropdown.
|
||||
|
||||
## Bluetooth Issues
|
||||
|
||||
### No Bluetooth adapter found
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Check if adapter is detected
|
||||
hciconfig
|
||||
|
||||
# Ubuntu/Debian - install BlueZ
|
||||
sudo apt install bluez bluetooth
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Permission denied
|
||||
|
||||
Run with sudo or add your user to the bluetooth group:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
sudo usermod -a -G bluetooth $USER
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## GPS Issues
|
||||
|
||||
### GPS dongle not detected
|
||||
|
||||
1. Install pyserial: `pip install pyserial`
|
||||
2. Check device is connected:
|
||||
- Linux: `ls /dev/ttyUSB* /dev/ttyACM*`
|
||||
- macOS: `ls /dev/tty.usb*`
|
||||
3. Add user to dialout group (Linux):
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
sudo usermod -a -G dialout $USER
|
||||
```
|
||||
4. Most GPS dongles use 9600 baud (default in INTERCEPT)
|
||||
5. GPS needs clear sky view to get a fix
|
||||
|
||||
## Decoding Issues
|
||||
|
||||
### No messages appearing (Pager mode)
|
||||
|
||||
1. Verify frequency is correct for your area
|
||||
2. Adjust gain (try 30-40 dB)
|
||||
3. Check pager services are active in your area
|
||||
4. Ensure antenna is connected
|
||||
|
||||
### No aircraft appearing (ADS-B mode)
|
||||
|
||||
1. Verify dump1090 or readsb is installed
|
||||
2. Check antenna is connected (1090 MHz antenna recommended)
|
||||
3. Ensure clear view of sky
|
||||
4. Set correct observer location for range calculations
|
||||
|
||||
### Satellite passes not calculating
|
||||
|
||||
1. Ensure skyfield is installed: `pip install skyfield`
|
||||
2. Check TLE data is valid and recent
|
||||
3. Verify observer location is set correctly
