Real-Time Spectrum Analyser program

Post by thedvbdreamer1 » Wed Aug 16, 2023 6:03 pm

Hello members .
I am not a radio amateur, but a dish or DVB-T freak.
Now I have a question;
I am looking for a program for the PC with which I can operate the Real-Time Spectrum Analyzer.
To align the dish or antenna I use a promax prodig 5 and a Satlook Digital Nit.
But those devices only have small screens, and would like to have an image image
Now I have CrazyScan2 and IQMonitor , but they are not real-time.
In other words; as soon as I turn the dish, I must be able to see through the PC program that another satellite is arriving on the screen.
do you know what or do you have an idea
let me know.

Best regards

Have a look at this https://www.albfer.com/en/2020/02/21/satsagen-2/

It works as a real-time spectrum analyser with many SDRs, so the frequency range will depend on which SDR is used.

Hello members.
I want to try this signal what you see on the photos with satsagen and sdrplay.
I am already ready to connect satsagen with sdr play. How do I have to set it, seek that I get that image as in the photos.
I hope someone of you can help me in that.

Best regards

Or a Portsdown 4 (RPi4+ screen+ADALM Pluto) will give you up to 50MHz.

May I ask how to work at SDRPLAY or at Satsagen.
The programs are all new to me.

I would sugggest looking at the manual https://www.sdrplay.com/docs/RSP-Spectr ... r-V1.1.pdf and for Satsagan google suggested Alberto's videos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yjobY6vs4z0

Not absolutely essential unless you wish to make accurate measurements. 10dB each one, Aliexpress cheapest usually.
