QO-100 Satellite Live

Since version 5 of Remote-SDR, it is possible to share its reception channel. You can connect to my transceiver to the QO-100 satellite. Of course, you won’t be able to transmit. If you are...

QO-100 Transceiver

Web based transceiver developped by F1ATB Below is the connection diagram of the various modules making up the transceiver allowing links to QO-100 with the “Remote SDR” application. I have been using this system...

CareCam Pro and Onvif

CareCam Pro configuration for Onvif To connect and check the CareCam Pro, you can use the software “Onvif Device Manager”. You download it from internet and launch it on your Windows computer. If the...

Power measurement with an ESP32

A V2 version, with a Triac for precise overproduction injection is available here:https://f1atb.fr/diy-solar-energy-router-to-manage-overproduction/ Measuring in real time the electrical power consumed or even produced by a solar installation allows for better management. For example,...

Programming the ESP32 over WiFi

The ESP32 is a very interesting microcontroller, because it combines analog and digital inputs and outputs as well as WIFI and Bluetooth access. Once set up for a given application, it may be necessary...

RTTY

Since version 4.5, Remote SDR offers the possibility of receiving and transmitting messages in RTTY. Starting RTTY mode A click in the “Digital” selection box opens a window dedicated to RTTY mode. Then click...

Troubleshooting

Raspberry / Orange Pi not starting Issue After burning an image to an SD card, the processor does not start. Solution 1 Very often, it is a weak 5v supply that is the source...

Orange PI GPIO

Orange Pi Single Board Computer, similar to the famous Raspberry Pi, offer interesting characteristics, given the diversity of models offered. To access the GPIO of an Orange PI, you can use one of the...

SSTV

Remote SDR makes it possible to do SSTV broadcasts by interfacing with software adapted to this mode of transmission. Here we will focus on MMSSTV and YONIQ. VB Audio Virtual Cable To interface the...

WSJT-X – FT8

Remote SDR can be interfaced with digital processing software like WSJT-X to make FT8 transmissions for example. WSJT-X not only processes transmit and receive audio signals, but can control Remote-SDR frequency and transmit on/off....

Omnirig – Remote SDR

Omnirig is an interfacing application to control different transceivers by a third party application like (YONIQ-SSTV, WSJT-X…) . It controls, for example, the transition to transmission or the reception frequency. Architecture Many amateur radio...

SDR Selection

There are many SDRs on the market. In the table below you will find the main characteristics of the compatible “Remote SDR” models. This list will evolve in the future. Nom Band RX TX...

Tone generators

On the transmit side, different tone generators are available to tune the transmitter or open relays. 800Hz Tone Selecting this generator disconnects the microphone and injects a 800Hz audio signal to its maximum. This...

Band Scanning

It is possible to define one or more scanning zones of the reception band. The system automatically locks onto the correspondent and changes it every 10 seconds. With the mouse, it is possible to...

Gains and Dynamics

RX and TX Gains Adjustment Depending on the SDR model, the gains are different and some of the sliders are not used. Experiment to find the optimum corresponding to your configuration. The dynamics of...
