###Vector and spectrum analyzer functionality for the RTL_SDR
Currently, data is taken from the rtl_sdr binary via stdout:
rtl_sdr -f 800000000 - | ./vectplot
Example output:
jackc@dev0 ~/Projects/vectorplot $ rtl_sdr -f 800000000 -|./vectplot

Output from rtl_sdr is passed through to the console, since it's writing samples to stdin and info to stderr.
###What currently works:
- Spectrum Analyzer
- Vector Analyzer (IQ constelation plotting)
###To do:
- Spectrum analyzer peak hold
- Constelation plot slow decay
- Freq error and clock sync
- Network support (receive samples from rtl_tcp)
- RTL_SDR libary support (needed for gain and freq control)
