Locked Good CAT and/or Omnirig Plugin?
|
Hello Airspy Friends:
I have been looking for a good CAT and/or omnirig for SDR#. An Omnirig Pluging would be GREAT for hams becouse SDR# could follow our Radio. Is anyone available? Thank's a lot. |

I know Adam...also SDR-Radio, but i like SDR# and i want try to use it for that purpose.

There is a CAT plugin for Sdr#, its called sdrsharp-catcontroller
Its been a while, the but when I did try it previously, it worked very well. Presents sdrsharp as a TS50 Find it on Google and/or gitHub 73 de kc1ccr bammi |

I tested it some time ago, but it is bery "basic".
Omnirig support could be wonderful ! |

I will take a stab at getting the current version to build and expand the feature set.
What additional functions we're you interested in? |

A lot of thank's.
-Omnirig support could be the FIRST One for a lot of Hams. Supporting Omnirig integration with a Ham Transceiver is very easy. And...if omnirig were supported an option to follow Omnirig VFO A or VFO B -To can change serial port parameters (Speed mainly). |

Cat or Omnirig
Dear Tag,
With regard to the above, as a minimum one would like to be able, directly in SDR#, to link up with something like Omnirig, to effortlessly import frequencies and settings from any of the Airspy family SDRs (also RTL-SDR).
In the simplest instance I would want to use SDR# to do any tuning ,or scanning, then effortlessly (automatically) transfer this frequency or setting to another possibly non-sdr radio such as an ICOM HF, so I can transmit on that.
Ultimately one would like to have a single SDR# screen showing almost DC to Daylight, or anything in-between.
An ideal system would automatically switch to the best radio/SDR for a specific frequency, set the necessary filters/ATU attenuators for each SDR or Radio and and manage antenna switching and interlocking to prevent damage to other components.
I haven’t looked at Omnirig lately, but as far as I remember, it was at least fairly close to that capability.
You could use the scanners/databases in Airspy to find a frequency and see the spectrum, then automatically select a specific Radio or SDR for optimally monitoring a specific band, or have a QSO on a specific radio.
However, by this time it would no longer be simply a CAT, but an Elephant with trunks like an octopus!
I have a clear view of what I want, but I don’t think I have done that clarity justice in the short description above.

Hello Tag,
99% of the users will be happy to have the option when double click on the spectrum/waterfall signal to tune the main radio to that frequency. One click will do the same as up to now, tune to that frequency on the SDR#, double click will do the same plus tune the main radio over the CAT to the desired frequency. Possibility to choose whether the CAT will do that on VFO-A or VFO-B or on the Main or Sub receiver is like driving the Mate Rimac Concept One car :-) Changing the modes and other features is handy but not so important as tuning the frequency, Adam |

I think the same as Adam:
Omnirig with the option to follow VFA A or B (Main or SUB) could be great. Ruben EA5BZ |
