Testing SDR++ Setup in R3 fpr shortwave RX

Setup description:

  • SDR++ with QDX (http://qrp-labs.com/qdx) used as a receiver at remote site
  • Connection via VPN over LTE internet access at remote site (Ping ~ 30-50ms)
  • Using rigsync and rigctld to keep local TRX and QDX RX in sync

Usage Instructions

  • start up rigctld in a terminal with correct parameters
  • start up modified version of rigsync (https://github.com/GNUFox/rigsync)
  • Start SDR++:
    • Connect to server (address is remembered by SDR++)
    • Press play button
    • Keep demod frequency at 0 (QDX demod freq. is controlled by CAT and it uses audio (L/R) for I/Q signal, demod freq. is not passed to SDR++)
    • Manually select USB / LSB (not synced between SDR++ and rig)
    • If there's no audio check Audio settings in OS + plugs/cables + speakers (enabled?)
  • Now control operating frequency from the rig dial.

Random notes / things found during usage

  • Signal delay is acceptable for phone even when band is busy
  • Reception of QDX is very good
  • Rigsync latency noticeable
  • [DONE] Rigsync can not handle difference between USB/LSB and USB-D/LSB-D on icom ic7300 -> need to disable rigsync when using digital modes
  • Need to switch USB/LSB manually in SDR++
