QSDR


QSDR is a SDR-Software transceiver for HiQSDR and Ettus B200, developed with C++. It based on the excellent GNU Radio project and the Qt framework.

Usage


Install


QSdr 1.1.0 needs gnuradio 2.7.2 from gnuradio.org, gr-hiqsdr and the Qt4-Framework. Download the qsdr source und translate: 

	tar -zxvf qsdr-1.1.0.tgz
	cd qsdr 
	qmake-qt4 qsdr.pro
	make 
	sudo ./install.sh


There is a small patch for hamlib to control qsdr with Fldigi. The following image shows the configuration of Fldigi:
Fldigi config

Start


First option: HiQSDR is connected to current computer: use the start menu or enter "qsdr" on the shell. GUI and signal processing now starting on local computer.

Second option: HiQSDR is connected to computer A, GUI is runnung on computer B. First start server on computer A with "qsdr -s". On remote computer B start the gui with "qsdr -g nameOfComputerA". The connection uses TCP port 51400.

For security a ssh tunnel should be used. Login on compute A with "ssh -L 51400:localhost:51400 " and start "qsdr -s". Now start on remote computer B "qsdr -g localhost".

If some colors are wrong, use qtconfig-qt4 to select another GUI Style.

Audio


Signal source for TX and signal sink for RX are selectable to gnuradio audio input and output on server side with 48k sampling rate or to remote audio on GUI via IP with 8k rate. To use audio input and output on GUI, select Trx-TX-Source and Trx-RX-Sink to "IP" in settings. For gnuradio audio select "LocalAudio" there.
