I’ve taken the decision to open-source IRA, the integrated radio  
astronomy package that uses Gnu Radio underneath that I’ve been selling  
commercially  
for several years. The income obtained is vastly swamped by the  
maintenance effort, so I’ve decided to open-source it.

git clone [GitHub - patchvonbraun/IRA: Integrated Radio Astronomy receiver that uses Gnu Radio underneath](https://github.com/patchvonbraun/IRA.git)

And away you go. No guarantees that it’ll currently work, but after  
ripping out the license management code, it appears to compile and  
install OK  
on my Fedora system.

After installing xforms it compiles without problems on my gentoo  
system.

It currently works only with UHD hardware.

It wouldn’t be hard to make it support RTLSDR, but I think FunCube would  
be pointless, to be honest.
