sdrconnect — getting raw IQ out of an SDR

sdrconnect is a small Python library for connecting to a software-defined radio and pulling raw IQ samples — the complex baseband stream everything else in a receiver is built on.

The useful part beyond the connection is seeing what you captured: the library's IQ analysis reports signal metrics and plots, so a capture can be checked — level, spectrum, basic quality — before any decoding is attempted. It is packaged and published to PyPI.

sdrconnect is on GitHub.
