 +To generate the heatmaps of what's happening in the radio spectrum in your area, use the ''​rtl_power''​ (in the rtl-sdr debian package) with  [[https://​github.com/​keenerd/​rtl-sdr-misc/​blob/​master/​heatmap/​heatmap.py|heatmap.py]]. ​ For more information see http://​kmkeen.com/​rtl-power/​
 +
 +Run this for 24 hours (you can also just try an hour or so and repeat to test different aerials):
 +<code bash>
 +rtl_power -f 24M:​1700M:​1M -i 100 -g 50 -e 24h data.csv
 +python heatmap.py data.csv
 +</​code>​
