Brand new SDR V3 installed in September 2026. The old one is now scanning on 433, feeding my Home Assistant
RTL-SDR Blog Wideband LNA V2 Installed in October 2026. There's a strong pager around 165 MHz that can mess up bands.
If you encounter a profile with unusual low gain (Like 70cm) it's because reflections of that pager would otherwise stray in.
Profiles are roughly sorted: General, Shortwave, FM, DAB. When nobody uses the device, it will cycle through
160m-2m profiles and auto-scan for things like FT8/4, WSPR, SSTV, APRS etc. Check the Map/Files sections for the results.
Also auto-reporting to pskreporter.info. Map markers stay for 6 hours, SSTV and other files until the next reboot.
Signal fowarding from RasPi to the i5 OWRX Server travels via rtl_tcp, (Wired LAN).
Some weak FM stations only appear sometimes. Please turn off noise reduction for strong stations and DAB as it makes it sound worse.
During daytime the SDR, RasPi, Server and Router run on solar power. Grid fallback at night. I used to run a Spyserver here,
currently testing with OpenWebRX. Please don't occupy for hours and let others also tune in.
