SDR Quest: Looking for Software Defined Radios for FreeBSD

I have it working but I increased the permissions to 770 from 660 in my devd rule. Not sure that is OK but I had to try.
CubicSDR Audio Output now running well.
Time to recheck users.

There is no audio group.
But you set me on the right path.
cat /etc/group
Code: 
pulse:*:563:xorg
pulse-access:*:564:xorg
pulse-rt:*:557:xorg
With these three I have my permissions back where they should be to 660 in my devd rule.
pw groupmod pulse -m $user_name
pw groupmod pulse-access -m $user_name
pw groupmod pulse-rt -m $user_name

What's wrong with people, can you not write a question using words?

I have only just started using SDR and am having a hard time getting anywhere with it.

Running sdrpp starts up but there are so many options, none of which I understand, and I was simply wondering if any knowledgeable person could tell I could achieve similar results on FreeBSD.

If anyone is aware of a useful video for SDR beginners, I'd appreciate a link.

According to

to get started you only need these components to get started:- device, computer, software, drivers. antenna.

As far as drivers go, are they built in to the FreeBSD kernel or does each pkg come with them built in? And if each pkg has its own drivers would they all use the same drivers or could there be differences between different offerings?

The driver is /comms/rtl-sdr for the RTL-SDR sticks. SOAPY is some sort of software translation layer.

I have been using CubicSDR since I figured out my audio output problem.

Tuning it is similar to other SDR programs. You click up or down on the frequency number.

Jumping though the frequency graph seems to work well using Right and Left Arrow Keys. It is not constrained to frequency bands like other SDR.

No luck on importing a CSV file from rtl-scan. No program I use seems to take them like I thought they would. CubicSDR will import xml bookmarks.

I do have a core file from a CubicSDR crash but I think all of my SDR programs have crashed at least once...
