Convert RAW iq samples to SDRAngel "sdriq" format
#! /bin/env python3
"""
Convert raw IQ samples to SDRIQ with header, suitable for batch processing
for use with RTL_SDR convert from unsigned 8 bit to signed 16 bit samples. using rtl_433
.cu8 - RTL_SDR Raw samples (collected via rtl_tcp)
.cs16 - converted samples for this script (or raw data from a 16 bit SDR)
Converting formats:
rtl_433 -w output.cs16 input.cu8

## Changelog
V3 - Added buffered copy of 128MB for large files where file.read() fails
V2 - Changed interface to consume list of files, automatically calculate fout name
Added safety and with statements for file operations
Added filename extraction for frequency and sample rate
ala https://triq.org/pdv/ and recomendations per https://triq.org/rtl_433/IQ_FORMATS.html
V1 - https://gist.github.com/kbeckmann/6db25501ff02c46e79143c0ed1c47d88, Unknown License
