I am also looking for a better way of naming the files. Now there only date and username, so finding your results back is a bit cumbersome. The free text input would be a bit to unorganised as a filename I think. Do you have any suggestions?

I've grouped the raw's all together and the strings, I first had it grouped for each step, but that was not really easy to read, see added example with the grouping I find is really helpful. @ps2 what do you think?

Is this necessary for rfcat? Reading about the security implications and how they want to deprecate this feature, I think maybe it should be avoided. We can list installation of rfcat as a separate step.

For RFcat this is necessary if you want to install it with setup.py because it not registered on PiPy.
I read the option has been put back in because there is currently no other solution in the works:
pypa/pip#4187
I would like to keep it in for now because it simplifies the install steps, but I will create PR tonight on RFCat with the needed changes to add rfcat to the PiPy registry. It's quite easy to add packages to pipy yourself.
The separate step was a bit confusing for me at the time to understand what RFCat is used for. I used the RFCat first as a CC compiler for the TI stick and then also for openomni as a python package. So when I found out it can be installed as a package, I liked this, because it helps in the logic of all the different steps and have a 1 install command (I started using Docker at work so I am really into 1 line installers now ;-))

Please use python recommended naming for variables: underscores instead of camel case.

This fails for me. I usually work out of the top level directory, and run things like ./openomni/bin/omni_listen_rfcat. File output should be an option; one is not always wanting to store things to disk.

Good call. I've added a path argument to tackle this, plus added it to the readme. I will add the option to skip writing to file.

Added option to the command line to write what you have done into a json file after closing the omni_rfcat_read with ctrl+c. The file contains all the raw and string messages you've been receiving, to use it more easily with copy pasting in the wiki.
