SDRplay - SDRconnect Windows Server Tips (VID673)

In this video we show how to set up a Batch file and shortcut icon in Windows allowing the user to run the server more easily.
00:00:00 Introduction
00:02:00 Creating the batch files and shortcuts (default, port-specific and exclusive examples)
00:07:09 Practical demonstration - server end
00:08:30 Practical demonstration - client end
00:09:50 The difference between "IQ" and "Audio" connections
The corresponding slides with instructions are available here: www.sdrplay.com/docs/WindowsS...
When connecting to a server over a LAN there is no need for port forwarding since you are within your own network
“Exclusive” mode stops all users from changing the settings altogether.
The owner can ensure he/she has overall remote choice by ensuring they are the initial connection.
(The owner can have this first client running either on the server hardware, or any other computer)
“IQ” mode sends the full IQ data stream and only works over high speed LAN (or in a limited way on a super-fast end to end internet connection). “Audio” mode is recommended for WAN (internet) use - this send the audio and the visual spectrum display information

This is one of many video guides from SDRplay - makers of the RSP family of SDR radios. See the full list of SDRplay videos and applications documents on: www.sdrplay.com/apps-catalogue/
The RSP family of SDRs from SDRplay cover 1kHz to 2 GHz with no gaps and give up to 10MHz spectrum visibility.
SDRplay is a UK company. The RSP SDR receivers are made in the UK and can be purchased for worldwide delivery directly from www.sdrplay.com/ (click on purchase and select your country to view shipping costs) or you can buy from any of our worldwide resellers listed here: www.sdrplay.com/distributors/ Many of the resellers offer local free shipping and/or local language technical support.

I want to run the sdrplay rspdx connected to my servers in the basement, but how much does the signal attenuate if you were to mount an antenna say 30 meters away? Does it make any perceived difference? Even using better cables as the RG213 or LMR400 it seems the drop in signal level is rather much on higher frequencies. Would it be recommended to instead mount the rspdx as close to the antenna as possible and run powered usb-extensions to it to get as much of the “analog” or at least non-crc checked signal to SDRConnect?

thank you

Hi John, great video. Thanks for that. You mentioned in your video discription " “IQ” mode sends the full IQ data stream and only works over high speed LAN (or in a limited way on a super-fast end to end internet connection). “Audio” mode is recommended for WAN (internet) use - this send the audio and the visual spectrum display information" Therefore i have a question. Do you know which data rate is needed for the IQ mode in case of a high speed connection. Does any value exist like minum needed data rate Mb/S? And compare to the AUDIO Mode. Which minimum data rate is here needed over the Internet. Thanks 73 DL1JH

Hi, it is hard to specify and it will depend on the sample rate (i.e. how much spectrum you are sampling) - if you keep it to 2MHz, then maybe 100MB/s would be good. But that's just a guess - no guarantees! Probably best to ask on the forums what people are achieving: www.sdrplay.com/communitylinks/
