>>> What SDR S/W is anyone using with their SDRPlay for sat’s?

Hi Jeff!

I use HDSDR and it works very well for me.  I was only in receive mode for
a long time learning how to decode various types of satellite telemetry but
now I also get on the amateur sats with voice transponders.  HDSDR does
everything that I need to do with an SDR both for telemetry reception as
well as being the downlink "radio" for transponder use.  I would imagine
the other applications do most if not all of the same things.  But, in my
case, I just learned how to navigate in HDSDR and preferred it after trying
the others.
