DAB/DAB+

The DAB/DAB+ USB Stick decodes DAB/DAB+ onchip and transfers the decoded audio data fully digital to the host system. Currently Linux and MacOS are supported.

Installation Linux

open a terminal and enter following commands:

sudo -s
wget http://sundtek.de/media/sundtek_netinst.sh
chmod 777 sundtek_netinst.sh
./sundtek_netinst.sh

In case you want to distribute the local stations digitally you can also install our streaming server (again on the commandline)

just run following commands:
sudo -s
/opt/bin/mediaclient --installstreamer

In case you want to use our DAB/DAB+ Player for X86-64 Bit Linux:

http://sundtek.de/media/Sundtek_DAB_FM_Radio-x86_64-2019-07-28_07_05.AppImage

Be sure you set the downloaded binary to executable before trying to run it (right mouse click, permissions, check executable)

Installation MacOSX

MacOSX:

- https://www.sundtek.de/media/sundtek_driver_macosx_190728.0349.dmg
- https://www.sundtek.de/media/sundtek_dab_fm_player_190728.0245.dmg

First install the driver, afterwards run the DAB Player. The split driver also allows other application developer to integrate and use those devices.

Installation Raspberry PI

In case you don't want to use our radio application, the installation is the same as on a regular linux system

sudo -s
wget http://sundtek.de/media/sundtek_netinst.sh
chmod 777 sundtek_netinst.sh
./sundtek_netinst.sh

Radio Application:

cd $HOME
sudo apt-get install qt5-default
wget http://sundtek.de/media/dablet_raspbian.tar.gz
tar xf dablet_raspbian.tar.gz
./dablet
