CATSync with Open Web RX support
O CATSync by DJ0MY in an older version we already wrote. What CATSync what it can do and what it is for?
- can control any WebSDR server by receiver or transceiver
- supports a large number of classic devices (uses the OmniRIG engine)
- supports both WebSDR and KiwiSDR, and in the new version also Open Web RX
- tunes the VFO of the remote SDR in real time according to your device
- click on the WebSDR waterfall to retune your home device
- synchronization transmits both frequency and mode (CW, USB, LSB, AM, FM)
- you can listen to your home device and WebSDR simultaneously
- can drive RX or TX VFO, which fits, if you are looking for a split frequency of a DX station (this function of independent tuning must be supported by your device)
- it can be connected to your favorite logbook using OmiRIG or via a VSPE port splitter
By the start of the year 2023 was the released version 1.30, which brings:
- new function: now supports SDR Open Web RX web servers (including the existing WebSDR and KiwiSDR systems) Restriction: Open Web RX requires, for the listener to manually select the correct one “zone” SDR (this is a limitation within the Open Web RX system – not CATsync)
- update to the latest Chromium web browser engine
- Visual C++ runtime files are required 2015-2022 x86, which are supplied/installed by the CATsync installation package
- the favorites editor now correctly saves renamed items
- support “non-standard” display resolution 1 Hz (it is used by some American Websdr servers, on which the modified Websdr code runs)
- updated K3 CAT emulator, which now enables mode control in addition to frequency control
The price of the full version is 9,95 €. More information, You can find both the trial version and payment for the full version of CATSync at https://catsyncsdr.wordpress.com
Good tool, if the readability of the /P station is at the limit of intelligibility due to interference from neighbors, I sometimes use it if a plasma or sh*t LED turns on somewhere. Too bad about the paid upgrade, I paid 1.21 and I'll see if I need it 1.30.
