[amsat-bb] sdr receiver

[Hasan al-Basri]

Jim,

I am very pleased with the FunCube Pro+ dongle. It is my downlink for sats.

No matter what SDR you get, make sure it will run with SDR Console v3.03.
This program will run your existing TX pefectly, including doppler. It is a
beautiful program that is always being updated. It is currently free in
preview, but may not stay that way forever. I have been using it about a
year.

Th FC Pro+ was designed specifically for sat work and does a very good job.

I have SatPC32 and have had it since the AO-10 days (I think). I don't use
it any longer. It is overly complicated and hard to configure. It is
powerful, but cumbersome. Very non-intuitive, and downright ugly in
appearance. (All very subjective opinions, of course).

Once I laid my hands on a modern program like SDRC, there was no going back.
