Upgraded from GQRX 2.2 (installed via apt-get using Ubuntu 14.04 repos) to 2.5.3 using new PPAs and apt-get. Had a few errors along the way, but got all resolved and GQRX functioning as advertised.... EXCEPT
Have been using GQRX to record our local Cruisers Net on VHF channel 68 and then uploading to the Web. UDP stream is piped to sox to encode as mp3 file using bash command
nc -l -u 7355 | sox -r 48k -t raw -e s -b 16 -c 1 -V1 - /media/500gig-ext4/cruiser-net/$(date '+%Y%m%d').mp3
While this worked fine in 2.2 producing a file named "YYYYMMDD.mp3, In 2.5.3 it produced a null file with no data.
Searching this group produced a thread about this issue and the fact that the gnu-radio version shipping out of the new PPAs seems to be streaming in IPV6 format. A bit of research on netcat reveals the additional switch to recognize the UDP stream ...
-6New bash call to record stream (in 2.5.3) is
nc -6 -l -u 7355 | sox -r 48k -t raw -e s -b 16 -c 1 -V1 - /media/500gig-ext4/cruiser-net/$(date '+%Y%m%d').mp3
Hope this saves someone else some aggravation. in the future. Have some other specific questions about this particular use of GQRX but will post again after some more searching of this group
