SDR Console Lock up

I used SDR Console this morning to track the EO-88 satellite as usual and all worked well. This afternoon I started SDR Console and it will not go past the start up screen. It does not get to the receiver selection panel. If I click on the select receiver button the program locks up and the only way...

Re: Yagi radiation pattern display

Gentlemen,
I eventually found the program I used in the past.

Not as good as telling the rotators an exact direction but it will do until something comes along

Re: Automatic antenna switching in Satellite scheduling

Hi Albert,
I didn't think the function was there. I have put in a request to Simon to see if it could be done.

Automatic antenna switching for satellites

Hi Simon and others, The satellite scheduling works well and I would like to use it 24/7 even when I am away for a few days. What I find lacking to achieve this is the ability to change antennas for the different satellites. I have three antennas, one for the weather satellites, one for 144MHz band ...

Automatic antenna switching in Satellite scheduling

Gentlemen, Just getting back in to satellites after a couple of years absence. Hasn't the program changed in that time. One feature I was waiting for that has been added is the auto scheduling of satellites. The feature is working fine as I want to receive the data and send it off to the satellite b...

Re: Yagi radiation pattern display

A long time ago I used a piece of USA software to check a new Yagi. In this process you had to calibrate the S meter in my Icom IC-910. (This was before the days of SDR radios) This was done from a HP signal generator. The rotator was then started from one of the stops and let rotate until it reache...

Yagi radiation pattern display

Simon, Would it be possible to produce a piece of software that plots the radiation pattern of a yagi antenna. Some thing like output 0-360 degrees in say 5 degree steps to the rotator, Then read the signal strength from the SDR in db and plot it on a polar display. Would make checking yagies a lot ...
