AbracaDABra is a graphical DAB and DAB+ software defined radio application. It supports inexpensive RTL-SDR receivers as well as Airspy, SDRplay and other hardware, and combines ordinary digital radio listening with detailed service and transmitter information.
The program also caters for more specialised DAB work. Its scanning, logging and TII facilities can be used to investigate ensembles and transmitter networks, while programme information and multimedia data are integrated into the normal listening interface.
This is free and open source software.
