This channel is all about the Software Defined Radio Receiver from SDRplay - the 'RSP'. It includes SDR demos, instructions and tips as well as sections with videos of helpful hints and techniques for SDR users. Because SDRplay provides SDRuno and SDRconnect software, there are a growing number of videos featuring SDRuno. SDR-Console and HDSDR are also well covered. SDRplay encourages suggestions for additional videos we can add to our playlists - especially for non-English-speaking viewers.
You can run SDRconnect as a server on any platform. Please refer to the video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-I5r4V_oRhFs.htmlsi=pJnsJLT2wnq98auY However, the server service is only available on the Linux ARM64 distribution
Thanks for the video. SDRconnect is progressing nicely. Is any consideration being given to include the option to filter the memory channel list by VRX frequency in the same way that can be done in SDRuno? With the significant amount of channels included in an EiBi file, that VRX frequency filter option is indispensable.
Excellent video, thank you. I have been using SDRconnect preview 3 as a server on a small Windows computer for a while now, but seeing how easy it is using a Pi, I might switch with preview 4.
Thanks for the clear video! Could you please explain how the antenna configuration works? At 11:05 you configure --antenna=1 and at 12:58 we see that Antenna is using "Port B". How is this mapped exactly?
Thank you for the explanation of the new version of SDRconnect. I have one request regarding the installation file. The file name is SDRconnect_darwin-arm64_5dce37273.dmg, but it does not contain the string "Preview 4", so it is difficult to distinguish it from the older version. Could you make the file name a bit more understandable?
The "IQ mode" of the SDRconnect server requires a lot of network bandwidth. To display a 1MHz wide spectrum window, about 30Mbps is required. That means that to display a 10MHz wide window, about 300Mbps is required. When network bandwidth is low, you can also use "Audio mode". If technically possible, I would like to compress the "IQ mode" data to reduce the required network bandwidth. We look forward to seeing more developments in SDRconnect. Thank you!
Thank you for the presentation! It's great to see that things are moving forward! I would like to have the feature, like in the old Windows version, where you could record the received signal strength in dBm as a text file over a time period. That would fit in well with the recording function, wouldn't it?
Thank you very very much! It is so great to use the Sdrconnect at any Computer in the House. Perhaps you can add in your guide "How to autostart sdrserver with Pi start" it was a little bit tricky but works now very well. A easy exportfunction would be great. To copy all lists to any pc. Or a online useraccount integrated. Were my Presets online saved and i can use them at any pc. Thanks a lot for Sdrconnect. Go on it will be great !
Very interesting; thanks for the video. I think you might get even better results if the loops were closer together. I see you were on the 21(?) metre band, so the antennas were almost one wavelength apart. I think best directivity is with about a quarter-wavelength spacing. (Also, I endorse the earlier comment about polarisation diversity). Hope that helps!
Hello, would like to see a comparison video between de new RSPdxR2 and the RSPDuo in case of filtering and so on..... a hard decision to make for the moment about wich one I should buy ....
Hey Steve, tell me about that mount bracket for the SDR to the Kenwood. Is that something I can purchase, or did you homebrew that thing? I sure would like to do the same :)
Just got this going, all working great! I am using a raspi running OpenWebRX which the RSP1A is plugged into. Both devices are up in the loft plugged with the raspi plugged into a network switch. Now I don't have to physically move the RSP1A/antenna setup in order to use it with SDRuno on my PC. Thanks!
A very big modification that needs to be done on the MLA 30+ is to replace the very thin and no so good coax that it came with. This modification is even more important than the copper tube. One can also use a much thicker copper tube. Their are videos on youtube on how to do both.
4 years later, it's still a PITA to set up on OWRX. Sadly SDRPlay receivers are not supported as part of the OWRX distribution. It requires jumping through hoops of first setting up SoapySDRPlay then making sure the API is installed properly. Then you got to make sure the sample rate and gain are set properly.
Make sure that you have a quiet power supply for the raspberry pi! I'm using the same setup with a discone on A, a mla-30 on C and a patch antenna for L-Band on B. It works well upto 1 MSPS in full I/Q.
External protection question. In addition to my new RSP1B, my concern also involves protection of my NanoVNA-H4 and my TinySA Ultra inputs. Will a SMA shorting plug be sufficient to protect these inputs, and if so, should such a termination be considered a fundamental requirement when these devices are stored or not in use while in the HAM shack?
I'm interested in the duo for EME/amsat work with my 7100. I was also interested in the DX as I thought it had better HF performance, though after watching this it looks more like it's for MF/LF/VLF. That's not a bad thing, just less of a concern, so the duo would suit my needs for both EME/amsat & DX at amd above 80 metres. Is there any difference if one wanted to use them for counting meteors on tge 6 metre band?
Loved this video and my Raspberry Pi 5 plus and we now have RPI-Connect to run other applications world wide from the Raspberry Pi, this is great fun to play with my 3 SDR radios I now have, thanks Jon, quick question when is the next update due to dropped for SDR-Connect ? hope it is soon, the last update was May 24th 2024 and waiting
Been doing this for several years using Kiwi sdr sites as well as websdr sites. My SDRplay pro2 sits in a drawer waiting for this connect software to add rig control so I can use it as a panadapter on Linux. Not sure how many purchased these things to be receivers when we already have many receivers in most shacks. The panadapter was what we were adding. Hopefully you will work on that soon. ??? Jon
@@SDRplayRSP yes but as today the script v0.3 is little bit different from the shared video, I think it would be better if you will do a new video with the new v0.3 script, best regards
