Frequency Suggestion App?

[jeremydbean]

Description of the feature you're suggesting.

App that tells you if a particular frequency is generally AM, NFM, WFM, or if it can be multiple, which to select trying to capture a signal vs listen to voice, etc. Would love it to include as well as the generally best settings for each type. Could be built on top of/replace the antenna length app. Just adding the extra data below.

Would be amazing if you could tweak the gains here and get feedback, similar to how the amp and gains turn red/yellow in some apps when too high or low. Basically best “general” use settings for what most people would want to start with to use a particular frequency for whatever purpose, or what range of settings to use for the start before tweaking on any given frequency.

i.e.

Frequency: 145.000000 MHz
Region: US
Band Name: 2m Amateur Band
Demod Mode: NFM
Suggested BW: 12.5-25 kHz
Info: VHF ham band

or

Frequency: 467.850000 MHz
Region: US
Band Name: UHF Land Mobile
Demod Mode: NFM/Digital
Suggested BW: 12.5-25 kHz
Info: Public safety, trunking, Abercrombie & Fitch

ANT500: (however many to extend, or if it’s out of range, recommend different antenna)

If possible maybe, once ideal settings are selected, some feedback in words not just waterfall. Basically a “yeah your settings are right but you aren’t getting good signal, check antenna type. Etc.). Even just as simple as:

Signal Quality/RSSI: Poor/Average/Good/Great

If any of this isn’t feasible or possible, then simply knowing what any given frequency should be set to NFM/WFM/AM and general use best settings the same way the antenna app works would be super helpful.

Anything else?

I actually made a Google script deployed to a web app that does a lot of this using nothing but ChatGPT and having it analyze the Mayhem and HackRF code. Not sure how to make it public, but it’s here and it’s what I’m currently using. It’s been super helpful. If you can’t access this I can likely tweak it to run as a python web app. ChatGPT suggested Google scripts as I was originally going to also display info downloaded from radio reference that would tell me what businesses or etc run in that selected range in my personal use area and includes the national frequency for restaurants and retail that use that frequency so you know if you pick up someone talking, what business may be using it. And I had exported that to a Google sheet. It does work, but. It’d be a lot to be relevant to the whole country/world. (I applied for access to the API for radio reference to see if I could have it just query it directly from the web app, but. Just taking the basic idea and giving recommendations was so helpful. Having it on the Hackrf itself would be amazing.

Why not make a sliding frequency, like in transceivers, in a band of at least 200 kilohertz for firmware PortaPack https://youtu.be/5tIoq_UqHy4?si=wAdLmSEbzzKH-Ia5
