LIBRE SDR - The new Pluto??

Post by radiogareth » Fri Jan 09, 2026 4:58 pm

Lots of people have bought themselves a Libre SDRs a (I did) and I have had it working fine with SDR Television (well documented software :-)).
This was however, only achieved after spending several hours trying to find what works and what to do with the various software and connectivity issues.
So please post 'what worked for you' and especially helpful things like where you found the file(s), what you did with them and then how you got it to do what you wanted :-)
Thanks in anticipation!
Gareth
(As a P.S. Dave G8GKQ ha looked carefully at a LibreSDR and if it could work with Portsdown,the answer is NO.)

Are all Libre SDR's the exact same or does their source alter any technical details affecting usage and compatibility with software and firmware? I get the jitters with this sort of thing in case I end up with one from batch X that no one knows how to tame :)

I think I did read or hear that Pluto SDR's were going to be discontinued, yet the major resellers seem to be expecting more stock...

I concur with you Gareth, assembling all the key requirements to run a Libre in one location or as a magazine article would be great, I know and accept coders like to code and not to write definitive manuals.
Best regards,

Chris, 2E0ILY in rural Shropshire.
