Future Releases:
SDRconnect consist of two parts, the core engine and the module system.
Work is progressing well on the module system (for 3rd party developers) – with the scanner as the priority after that.
System Requirements:
SDRconnect runs on the following architectures:
x64, ARM64 (including Apple Silicon)
Please NOTE. SDRconnect is a 64-bit application and will NOT run on 32-bit operating systems.
Supported Operating systems:
Windows – 10, 11 and later – 64-bit only. Note SDRconnect will NOT run on anything earlier than Windows 10, so please don’t ask for Windows 8/7/XP etc. It is not possible to compile for these older operating systems with the tools used for the development of SDRconnect.
Linux x64 – Canonical Ubuntu 22.04LTS and later LTS releases *
Linux ARM64 (aarch64) – Raspberry Pi OS (64bit) – Bullseye derived (we recommend the Raspberry Pi 4B or better)
MacOS x64 – 10.15 (Catalina) and onwards
MacOS ARM64 (Apple Silicon) – 13.0 (Ventura) and onwards
* You may well find that SDRconnect will install and run on other distributions of Linux, these are just the supported ones.
SDRconnect and SDRuno are able to co-exist on the same OS – Please note: This requires the latest version of SDRuno to be installed.
SDRuno plugins will not work with SDRconnect, but we will be porting the SDRplay developed SDRuno plugins so that they will be made available for use with SDRconnect as modules. The module interface will be published so that third party developers can also port their SDRuno plugins to SDRconnect modules, but we have no control over whether they will choose to do so, so please contact the plugin developers about this.
When updating to the latest version of SDRconnect, you must update both client AND server.
Support:
Release notes for all versions of SDRconnect can be found here (https://www.sdrplay.com/docs/SDRconnect_Release_Notes.pdf)
WE ARE NOW PROVIDING SUPPORT FOR THIS SOFTWARE VIA OUR TICKET SYSTEM.
Feedback:
We welcome feedback via email. We read all emails, but are unable to reply to suggestions for features or improvements on a one-to-one basis. Please email: feedback@sdrplay.com
The nRSP-ST tools and Rig Control are now all included in the same software download.
Linux platforms (both x64 and ARM64) can now use the following command to perform the install:
/bin/bash -c “$(curl -fsSL https://www.sdrplay.com/software/install.sh)”
