It is available here: SDR# (Note: there are many SDR software out there.)
In fact, I control the whole computer system remotely from either my main desktop computer or my smartphone utilizing Google Remote Desktopįor Hardware I am running an older desktop computer, running Windows 10 64bit with a 3.20 GHz processor and 4GB ram with a UPS battery backup, and the following USB RTL-SDR dongles and accessories:įor APT and LRPT Imagery hardware, I use a Nooelec SmarteeXTR dongle and/or a RTL-SDR Blog V3 dongle. It only takes minimal effort to check the system from time to time.
I have my system up and running 24/7, and have both Meteor captures and NOAA captures all set to run automatically with the hardware and software listed below. Currently, I receive from these Polar-Orbiting Satellites, US NOAA 15,18, and 19, and Russian Meteor M-2 and M2-2 Transmits via LRPT (Low Rate Picture Transmission) and HRPT (High Rate Picture Transmission) NOTE M2-2 is currently experiencing an anomaly, and is not transmitting on APT frequencies (a possible micrometeorite strike). A user station anywhere in the world can receive local data at least twice a day from each satellite as it passes nearly overhead. It was introduced in the 1960s and over five decades has provided image data to relatively low-cost user stations at locations in most countries of the world. The Automatic Picture Transmission ( APT) system is an analog image transmission system developed for use on weather satellites.
