When dump1090 lacks native --enable-biast support, the system now falls
back to rtl_biast (RTL-SDR Blog drivers) to enable bias-t power before
starting dump1090. The Blog V4's built-in LNA requires bias-t to
receive ADS-B signals.

ensureModeScript() used document.body.appendChild() to load lazy mode
scripts, but the preload for ?mode= query params runs in <head> before
<body> exists, causing all deep-linked modes to silently fail.
Also fix cross-mode handoffs (BT→BT Locate, WiFi→WiFi Locate,
Spy Stations→Waterfall) that assumed target module was already loaded.

Several modes didn't pass sdr_type to claim_sdr_device(), defaulting to
'rtlsdr' and triggering an rtl_test USB probe that fails for HackRF with
a confusing "check that the RTL-SDR is connected" message.
- Add sdr_type to frontend start requests for rtlamr, weather-sat, sstv-general
- Read sdr_type in backend routes and pass to claim/release_sdr_device()
- Add early guard returning clear "not yet supported" error for non-RTL-SDR
hardware in modes that are hardcoded to RTL-SDR tools
- Make probe_rtlsdr_device error message device-type-agnostic

When the /devices fetch hasn't completed or fails, parseInt on an empty
select returns NaN which JSON-serializes to null. The backend then calls
int(None) and raises TypeError. Fix both layers: frontend falls back to
0 on NaN, backend uses `or` defaults so null values don't bypass the
fallback.
Also adds a short TTL cache to detect_all_devices() so multiple
concurrent callers on the same page load don't each spawn blocking
subprocess probes.

Stock rtl-sdr packages don't support the -T bias-tee flag (only
RTL-SDR Blog builds do). Passing -T to stock rtl_sdr causes an
immediate exit, breaking meteor scatter and waterfall modes.
Now probes the tool's --help output before adding -T, with a regex
that avoids false-matching "DVB-T" in the description text.

Previously all HackRF devices were hardcoded as "HackRF One" regardless
of actual hardware variant. Now parses the Board ID line from hackrf_info

rtl_test opens the USB device during probing. After killing the
process, the kernel may not release the USB interface immediately.
dump1090 then fails with usb_claim_interface error -6. Add a 0.5s
delay after probe cleanup to allow the kernel to fully release the
device before the actual decoder opens it.

rtl_test -t often exits non-zero after finding a device (e.g.
"No E4000 tuner found, aborting" with R820T tuners). The return
code fallback was firing even when the "Found N device(s)" success
message had already been matched. Track device_found separately
and only use return code as fallback when no success was seen.

The success check ('Found' in line and 'device' in line) matched
"No supported devices found" since both keywords appear. Add a
pre-check for negative device messages, a return code fallback,
and a clearer error message.

Move adsb_active_device/sdr_type assignment to immediately after
claim_sdr_device so stop_adsb() can always release the device, even
during startup. Sync sdr_type_str after SDRType fallback to prevent
claim/release key mismatch. Clear active device on all error paths.
Replace blind 3s sleep for dump1090 readiness with port-polling loop
(100ms intervals, 3s max). Replace subprocess.run() in rtl_test probe
with Popen + select-based early termination on success/error detection.

The -D flag is only available in newer rtl_fm builds. Docker and distro

Enable direct sampling (-D 2) for RTL-SDR at HF frequencies below 24 MHz
so rtl_fm can actually receive CW signals. Add startup health check to
detect immediate rtl_fm failures. Push stopped status event from decoder
thread on EOF so the frontend auto-resets. Add frequency placeholder and
help text. Fix stop button silently swallowing errors.

Replace hardcoded "rtl_fm" references in wefax.py with the actual SDR
tool name so error messages correctly show "rx_fm" for non-RTL devices.
Use get_tool_path('rx_fm') in all SoapySDR command builders to match
the pattern already used for rx_sdr.

- Add pre-flight check for I/Q capture binary before spawning process
- Capture stderr from I/Q process for better error diagnostics

command builders to support custom install locations

When an external process (or stale handle from a crash) holds an SDR
device, claim_sdr_device() registry check passes but rtl_fm fails with
usb_claim_interface error -6. This adds a quick rtl_test probe inside
claim_sdr_device() so all modes get a clear error message before the
decoder pipeline is launched.

Replace the batch rtl_power SSE pipeline with continuous I/Q streaming
via WebSocket for smooth ~25fps waterfall display. The server captures
raw I/Q samples (rtl_sdr/rx_sdr), computes Hann-windowed FFT, and
sends compact binary frames (1035 bytes vs ~15KB JSON, 93% reduction).
Client falls back to existing SSE path if WebSocket is unavailable.

Reverts IQ pipeline and removes syncWaterfallToFrequency calls from
pager, sensor, rtlamr, DMR, SSTV, and SSTV general modes. Waterfall
is now exclusive to listening post mode.

Replace rtl_fm/rtl_433 with rtl_sdr for raw IQ capture when available,
enabling a Python IQ processor to compute FFT for the waterfall while
simultaneously feeding decoded data to multimon-ng (pager) or rtl_433
(sensor). Falls back to the legacy pipeline when rtl_sdr is unavailable.

Set DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH and SOAPY_SDR_ROOT environment variables when
running SoapySDRUtil on macOS so Homebrew-installed modules (HackRF,
LimeSDR, etc.) are properly detected.
Fixes#77
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Fix bias-t option in rtl_433 for RTL-SDR and HackRF:
- rtl_433's -T flag is for timeout, not bias-t
- RTL-SDR: Use :biast=1 suffix on device string
- HackRF: Use bias_t=1 in SoapySDR device string
- Add "Listen (FM/AM)" buttons to TSCM RF signal details
- Switches to Listening Post mode and tunes to frequency
- Fix device detail header padding to prevent protocol badge
overlapping with close button
Adds support for SDRPlay RSP devices (RSPdx, RSP1A, RSPduo, etc.)
through the SoapySDR interface. Closes#44.

Previously, RTL-SDR devices from SoapySDR were unconditionally skipped,
even if native rtl_test wasn't available. Now:
- Native detection runs first for RTL-SDR and HackRF
- SoapySDR only skips device types that were already found natively
- If native tools aren't available, SoapySDR detection is used as fallback
This fixes the issue where users with only SoapySDR installed couldn't
see their RTL-SDR or HackRF devices.
