There was me scribbling like a maniac and there's a document set up!! Brilliant. Thanks for the video very helpful.

Thank you for this!!

I apologize if this is the wrong place to be asking this question but I am very interested in using your SDRplay receiver with a Raspberry pi to create a marine scanner that can stream audio from the ships I see out my window. I specifically want to have software running on a headless pi that streams the output of the marine scanner to an internet radio on my home network. Do you know if your SDR connect software supports the raspberry pi 5 and if it can be configured as a scanner?

[@SDRplayRSP]

Scanning has not yet been implemented in SDRconnect.

[@Trev1916]

@@SDRplayRSP Will it ever ? I mean it's an essential feature of any SDR, should be the highest priority of features to be added really. There's absolutely no point in switching to SDRconnect until there's a scanner implemented.

Thanks for the video.

what about fft compression to reduce bandwidth like spyserver or openwebrx?

[@SDRplayRSP]

Our Compact and IQlite mode offer tremendous internet bandwidth savings

[@ErwinSerle]

Can we already save the last setup so it starts with the same VRX's for instance we just have setup ?

[@lisayork2155]

What about the server starts auto when the pi is turned on and stops running when the pi is turned off . My pi4 is only for my SDRconnect server . I have it plug into a wifi plug . app on my phone turns the pi on and off

[@SDRplayRSP]

You can write into the startup script to run the server when the Pi is started. I’m not a big fan of just pulling the plug.

You can also Use CNC viewer to Access the Pi,

[@BerndFelsche]

Never use -9 for killing a process. It prevents the process from cleaning up before exit. It may prevent a restart of the application if system resources haven't been released cleanly. It is grnerally "safer" to just pull the plug if applications won't die. Not a shutdown/restart but a power cycle. kill without a signal specification is usually sufficient. A -1 signal is a "hangup" which would normally sent to processes when you logout. It is generally safe.

sudo killall SDRconnect
