frequency control using SDR# plugin #8

Closed mlhammond closed 6 years ago

mlhammond commented 6 years ago

There is a plugin for SDR# that connects via DDE to a satellite tracking program like SatPC32 or WXtrack so the frequency information of the tracking program is sent to SDR# and then the frequency is changed in the SDR device via SDR#. Currently the frequency of PlutoSDR does not change as expected. Is there perhaps a simple change that you might make in the PlutoSDR to allow the frequency to change via the plugin? The SDR# plugin, current is V8, including the source code used is here: http://www.satsignal.eu/software/DDETracker.html

Hi,

I'm very sorry, but this is a limitation in SDR#, which doesn't allow third-party FrontEnds to use frequency tracking plugins, or any plugin that uses I/Q data. You need to buy an AirSpy for that.

Thank you Tobias for a great plugin. Nice work! I am sad to learn that frequency control won't work with PlutoSDR. But it is still very useful for amateur radio thanks to you. I have an Airspy and Airspy+. Also I have a Funcube dongle pro and pro plus both of which actually do allow the Doppler frequency control as well. Different designs I am sure. Again thanks! If there is a version you would like tested sometime please let me know.

Best,

Mark L. Hammond
