It's all about the Software

Simon, as you requested in the Groups.IO forum:

Currently 20 degrees is the highest minimum elevation that can be selected for recording passes. A higher minimum elevation would be useful in several situations:

1. Low gain antennas or low...

With the Sporadic E season in full swing the S3 and Console are proving a great combo but I wonder if it would be possible to add a fast loading view of an IQ recording to spot those telltale signs of Es signals? With Es being so transitory and...

SDR Console's FM squelch appears to work off of signal strength. This means that any change in the broadband noise level will cause the squelch to blow open unless it's set so tight that weak but perfectly readable signals won't open it. Noise-based...

Let me start off by saying that IMHO, SDR-Console is by FAR the most professional and most capable of all currently available software products specifically written for SDR's. In the beginning I was an avid user of SDR# but quickly and eagerly made...

When running FT8 and using SDRC as the RX, it is controlled by WSJTX via CAT and this works fine. But, if I also have a second SDRC receiver defined and I am listening to something on it and then change bands on WSJTX, the band change goes to the...

Don't know if you have been following the Hermes Lite group/forum recently but Steve Haynal is making great progress with an external keyer/soundcard project for HL2 which will enable truly remote operation of HL2 on CW via midi keying. He...

Hello Simon & group. I thought I would share 5 items I wish your software could do in a future update. I currently use a RSPdx:

1. Scan memories (squelch the radio, select the memory banks you want to scan then let her rip).

2. An enable button to...

Any chance of incorporating SDRplay TCP server support? In particular the extended support.

USB connection using API V2 an V3 is already supported. But we seem to frequently get posts about connecting using TCP.

You can connect using RTL_TCP...

Hi,

i'd love to see an option to set a custom bandwidth in the radio settings. Right now i'm using sdrconsole with an sdrplay tcp server (rtltcp compatible) and the maximum bandwidth i can set is 3.072MHz while the radio can do 8MHz (which should...

The latest extio available from Oscar Steila allows upto 140Msps sampling rate and 70MHz bandwidth, is it possible to add something similar to Console? Having 16bit performance up to 70MHz from the HF port will allow simultaneous coverage of 10, 8...

Hi,

I looked at the Digital modes screen, and what I have, apparently,
is RTTY and the PSK ones, only.

Should there also be Sitor-B/Navtex ?

If not, any chance of including in the next rev(s), (with Acars too, perhaps) ?

Much thanks,
Bob...

It would be very useful to be able to edit the entries set up in the scheduler. One may want to make small changes to when the recording starts and stops, recurrence etc. The option now is Copy , and consequently deleting the old entry after making...

Hi all,

I'm using .27 of the console. I would like to use the HF1 and HF2 inputs of the S3 for different antennas. How do I teach the scheduler? For example, he should switch the Asia antenna in the evening and the American antenna in the morning....

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...

I don't think this got moved over from the email list but I submitted the below message back at the beginning of 2020 to the email list. I'm transplanting it here, if it hasn't been done already.

I'm re-submitting my request under the new # .

I...

Most of the Frequencies that I listen to and feed to Broadcastify use DCS Codes instead of CTCSS, Like CTCSS, DCS is most common on FM two-way radio systems and it would be nice if SDR could support that so that I and others can block out the...

Hi,
due to the lack of a self-sustaining ‚Split-Function‘ some people use the RIT for that purpose e.g. in pile-ups. The consequence is, that all other added RXs take over the enabled RIT-function and the offset. This behavior is not only...

Hi,

Oops:

I wrote about this previously, but posted it in the general forum, rather than here in
the Requests forum. Sorry.

Re the WinRadio G-31 Excalibur:

I understand that the unit has a hardware pre-amp built in.

The very old WinRadio...

Hello,

The centering of a signal peak in the display by using the right Mouse button seems to
work only if the cursor is actually in the Waterfall.

With the cursor in the Spectrum view, nothing happens (at least for me) if the right mouse button...

Save the radio used when adding a new frequency (optionable ?)

Hi Simon,

iI have a DJ MIDI controller with 2 VFO-knobs .
My request is to expand the MIDI-controller to additionally tune the TX frequency.

many thanks

Simon,

Is it possible to make the RDS Editor window (the one that appears when double-clicking on an entry in the RDS log) so that it can remain visible while another function is carried out? At the moment, no other function is possible while the...

Could CTCSS (PL) Encode tones be added to the transmit function so we could access repeaters?

Hi Simon,

Another one from me (sorry!)

When setting up a recording, currently the default recording span is that of the selected radio.

Is it possible to have the user to have the option of being able to specify that the default recording range...

I was disappointed, I am hoping to see i a manual notch between 3.0.27 release notes, and instead nothing.

SEB. :( :( :(
