It's all about the Software

Hi Simon, was a plain WAV option ever added for recording IQ files (see below)? I can't find any option for it. If not, would it be possible to add it ASAP please?

Many thanks,

Mike

I am an enthusiastic French user of SDR console, I use the software with several radios, one for HF and another for ... the rest;
I would like my favorites to remember the radio used and start it when I select them ...
Thank you !

When receiving QO-100, problems with frequency stability quickly arise. Therefore it would be ideal if one could integrate a WebSDR like receiver into the SDR Console.
My attempt to use a Python program to read the SDR Console TX frequency and...

Under the View menu, we have Options : Spectrum : Show frequency and RX details (checkbox) . I don't think there's a shortcut to switch this on/off?

It reminds me of View : Waterfall Extras, with its easy access to toggling Frequency and Statistics...

Years ago there was a feature in MixW32 that allowed (if I remember correctly) the user to instantly replay/record the past few seconds of 'time'. Over the past weekend such a feature would have been extremely useful for catching MS pings on 2m that...

Hello,

A most Happy New Year's Simon, and to all.

a. Any thoughts to adding any additional digital modes ?
If so, which ?

e.g., the aero ones, Navtex, etc. perhaps ?

b. What's being contemplated for the next few releases to mid year ? (Scanner...

Hi Simon,

I am wondering if there's a possibility you could add a feature to the playing of IQ recordings in SDRC. I don't know if you're familiar with SDR#'s File Player, that gives the user the option to highlight a full bandwidth slice of the...

I do understand that SDRC is a radio, not a measuring or data logging instrument. But Signal History is one example of Simon pushing the boundaries to good effect. Could I float the idea for two extensions?

1. Signal History, as well as having a...

Would be great, if the percentage of noise blanking would be shown in the ribbon-bar. So we could see, if the Noise Blanker is doing its job (without going into Options), with the current settings.

Hi Simon,

i would like to have two input channels and two output channels.

Pair 1: Microphone and Headphone
Pair 2: Virtual Audio Cables

It wouldn't be necessary to reconfigure these settings when switching over from SSB to Digi Modes.

It could...

Hi Simon,

i really would like to see some sort of Filter synchronization between RX and TX.

when switching from Digital Modes to SSB i have to adjust the rx and tx filters separately.

The modes and frequency are synced between rx and tx. would...

The program itself support Hermes-lite, but the server does not. It will be great if the server supports too this hardware.

Hi Simon,
the number of lines in the BeaconOffsets file seems restricted to 10 000 lines. To write the offsets for a full 24 hour period, this is not enough.
Is it possible to increase the maximum number to 20 000, or alternatively to increase the...

Just a thought, Simon - it may not be useful, and I wouldn't want to divert attention from more important things.

Under poor conditions, the displayed PI code may be absent for much of the time and vary when there is something to show.
The user...

Hello,

here the thread from groups.io

I now made a small video, to show how SDR Console picks up the frequency from the external radio (FT-2000 via Omnirig):

What to see in the video:
DX-Station on 14.240 (example), working 5-10 up. First tune...

See the pic below...

Double-clicking on an entry in the RDS database brings up possible matches with the Frequency Database - a really useful feature epecially during Es.

At the moment, one cannot change the columns...

(this request copied from groups.io, made there before I realised this section existed here)

Hi Simon
Mouse click on spot callsign and/or triangle to tune to exact spot frequency would be a great feature. Thanks for consideration.

Hello Simon,
is it possible you could bring the bandwidth of 48k in WFM mode up to 75 or 100k ? there is a new satellite up, Bobcat-1 and is
transmitting 57k6 data. 48k is not wide enough. BFM mode will not work.

This is a request that I'm sure other medium wave DXers will appreciate, or those with other interests who follow weak carriers before they hopefully strengthen into audio.

I love the detail and resolution that SDR-Console provides in the waterfall...

At the moment SDR Console can Record Active Receiver to a standard WAV, WMA or MP3.

I would be very interested in a feature allowing me to make a synchronised recording of two RX simultaneously (say one RX to Left, the other to Right). This would...

I had to do a lot of reading to understand filter choices and the differences between filters.
I think tooltips to advise the user on which filter to use would be very helpful.

I am sure that there are best choice filters to use for each...

Currently, whenever I change bands I have to hit the Auto button to see the best view of the waterfall. I would like to have that occur automatically when I change bands so I don't have to keep hitting the button.

Thanks!

So, I don't know the specific mechanism that would be needed for this, but I know it would be very useful.
The idea is that users can set up events in their operating system event manager and attach a command line script to run.
The script would...

Mentioned before, but thought this ought to be a new request.

The carrier-locked mode gives excellent results bringing a channel-dominant station into focus. At the same time, a co-channel weaker station tends to be masked. Experiments without...

Mentioned before, but thought this ought to be a new request.

Binaural results are better with IF bandwidth greater than about 2 kHz, so asymmetric passbands are not the ideal way to get rid of heterodynes from adjacent channel carriers (say, 1, 2...
