Native desktop engineering
Builds a Windows desktop interface around Qt widgets, CMake, device libraries, audio/runtime dependencies and repeatable test checks.
C++ / Qt SDR prototype
RTL Radio
Project notes for a local Windows SDR desktop prototype exploring spectrum display, receiver diagnostics, scanner workflows and careful radio-capability boundaries.
Project context
RTL Radio is presented here as a personal project note and local prototype, not as a commercial product, official radio service, calibrated measurement tool or public-safety application.
The project is useful evidence of practical native-app work: C++17, CMake, Qt 6 Widgets, RTL-SDR device handling, FFT-based spectrum display, receiver diagnostics and interface flows for scanning and signal review.
What this project demonstrates
Signal workflow design
Explores spectrum and waterfall display, receiver diagnostics, scanner controls and conservative state labels that help avoid over-reading RF evidence.
Careful capability limits
Keeps radio and P25 wording bounded: the page records candidate-monitoring experiments without claiming public-safety decoding, calibrated measurement or bypass capability.
Evidence used for this note
The supporting local workspace includes architecture notes, receiver-validation notes, QA screenshots and a CTest target. On 30 June 2026, the Release build completed successfully and RTLRadioTests passed locally.
