It's all about the Software

hello Simon
i have a few plutos here (modding them for others) ... when i start one pluto (my main unit) that has no ppm correction or start a different one (that need a correction of as example) -0.2ppm i have to correct the ppm value each time by...

It appears the Waterfall resolution is reset to default rather than that selected in the resolution menu after making changes to Satelllite or Favourite entries.
The example I can give is that I have selected x8 resolution ( Menu : View -...

I was on HF running FT8 and was noticing people struggle to copy me even when my signal was strong so I wanted to set up a monitor on my signals. At first I tried just running an AFEDRI with no antenna but I became convinced that the ugly signal was...

Hi all,

Seems a nice site with lots of candy for the SBC adepts. I can see several models that could work nice with the Console. The prices seem affordable.

Hi,
Thanks for a great s/w tool, I have been able to get tx as well as rx to QO-100 working and learned a lot along the way.

My rx set up is:
pluto -> 1m patch lead ->bias T -> 25m satellite coax -> sat finder -> 1m patch lead -> 4 channel Octagon...

I'm currently using my MK2 on an I9 desktop PC but would like to take it away on hols in September so I'm going to need a new laptop. What CPU type/speed/spec should I be looking at to run it at a reasonable bandwidth? Not necessarily 35MHz but...

Normally, as Automatic Schedule switches from satellite to satellite, the frequency in the waterfall and the spectrum changes to the upcoming satellite frequency. It works fine except for the first satellite. For the first satellite, the frequency...

Cw monitoring in SDR console, other than going to a third party for the cw software decoding, Simon , the question arises , have you got some codeing on an old hard drive left over from the HRD days that you could plug into SDR console ?. Yep and I...

The same way we can map SAM to external radio's AM mode, it'd be nice to be able to map Wide-L/U to LSB/USB respectively.

Hi, as SDR TX owners probably know already: function keys F5 starts TX and F7 starts Tune

I can recommend this USB foot switch, i use the right switch for TX and the left for TUNE. I bought mine on AliExpress.

For HAMs using the external radio tracking, it'd be nice to have the option to have a TUNE button for the transceiver to kick off a tuning cycle for those of us with auto-tuners. Also perhaps an option to automagically initiate a tune after...

Does SDR Console support the new Omnirig V2 . . . . If not will it eventually as I get errors when trying to use it.

In 3.0.27 and also now in 3.0.28 (your latest build) the waterfall displays either a marker or signal on thye frequency slected.
If I retrieve the frequency from my favourites list no additional items are displyed in the waterfall and squeeze and...

Hi Simon,

A query regarding the Frequency Database..

It would be good to be able to reorder the columns in (in this case) distance order.. so that when frequency tracking, the nearer stations are listed first. I guess that would be a bit of an...

Any chance of adding a feature to make the F3 and F4 buttons programmable in SDR Console??

There are more requests for keyboard support and hotkeys, and my request is along those lines, but I'll explain my use case and preferences, and how I'm using the software now.

I do a lot of portable operation on the QO-100 satellite, often in...

many Thanks!
i have now a RX888 MK-II and it's great to see the hole 32 MHz Spektrum!

Please keep up the good Work!!

3.0.27 Release Notes for the RX888

Adding support for the new image which uses less power and supports the Mk2.

Hello,

I may be wrong about this, but I seem to remember some time back there was mention of
a dedicated, stand-alone program with many of the digital modes solely.

If so, has such a program been released, or status of ?

And, is there a...

Pointing towards our local broadcast FM mast signals can reach 80dBuV so are at the very limit of the S3 signal handling. Overloading can be mitigated by switching off the software preamp or adding some attenuation. The problem is when recorded...

For xtal softrock radio receiver setup, add I/Q amplitude and phase calibration (manual) and the option to add sampling delay to of 1 or more samples to each of the inputs, all of this just as is implemented in HDSDR.

Compared to HDSDR, it has calibration of IQ amplitude and phase and in addition there is an option to delay I or Q by 1 or more samples.
Without this it is not possible to reject images and work properly with various external audio dongles.
I could...

I have recently moved to a new ultrabook computer, a Lenovo Thinkbook 13s Gen 2. This notebook has the Intel i7-1165G7 processor with 96 EUs on the integrated Xe graphics. I've previously run SDR-Console on an nVidia dedicated GPU with CUDA enabled....

I know there are a lot of FM DXers on this site, so although principally targeted at ham radio operators, this site by Jim Bacon G3YLA is a brilliant resource for anyone interested in predicting Es propagation.

Knew about it for a while but not...

Hi everybody,

The firmware that the RX-888 and RX-888 mk2 loads on startup when using SDR-Console v3.0.27 seems to be rather old (probably ExtIO_sddc.dll v1.1.0 for use on HDSDR).
The version v1.2 RC1 was released but had some bugs and the last and...
