What is gkSDR ? “yet another SDR software”. Initially released (last year) in french only, it is now available for english speakers.
Some of the features were developped with portable traffic in mind, like :
- Dual receiver software, to listen to two frequencies simultaneously, for example listen to beacon while calling CQ,
- Automatic scanning mode over the received band, with strongest stations report (to be sure not to miss the 3cm call while rotating your dish…)
- Replay mode for 2 or 5 seconds, when you missed your contact call (or uner high QRM conditions, rain scatter),
- See where you are on the map (if you have a gps), see terrain elevation,
- Embedded ADSB decoder (requires second SDR receiver), plots planes on the map while QSOing, good for plane scatter experiments,
- many more… check the software or look at screen shots below
