The ghpsdr3-alex Project

This is a modification of the excellent Software Defined Radio (SDR) software by John Melton ([G0ORX/N6LYT][1]

The original software by John is called ghpsdr3. We are working towards merging the two projects (ghpsdr3 and ghpsdr3-alex) source trees to a single source. However BEFORE that happens, you CANNOT mix and match programs from the two projects. See note for HPSDR hardware users below.

Project README https://github.com/alexlee188/ghpsdr3-alex/blob/master/README [2]

Source Code is via git at https://github.com/alexlee188/ghpsdr3-alex [3]


Project Goals

1. Open source (GPL) SDR software

2. Client-server network-enabled by design from the ground up

3. Customized server for each SDR hardware type. Currently supporting hpsdr, softrock, Perseus, and Ettus usrp.

4. Single dspserver that connects to single server. However, each server can have multiple Rx and Tx channels.

5. Multiple clients, such as QtRadio, that can concurrently connect to a single dspserver.

6. Full Rx and Tx capability for hardware capable of Tx



Note for HPSDR and ghpsdr3 (original) users: In general, you cannot mix and match software from the two projects, ghpsdr3 and ghpsdr3-alex. However, the following MAY work:

1. Use the server (for hpsdr hardware) from the ghpsdr3 project to connect to your hpsdr hardware;

2. Use the QtRadio and dspserver from the ghpsdr3-alex project to connect to server;

3. It will work for Rx only, where the Rx IQ stream from the server will be sent to dspserver and then QtRadio, and the QtRadio client will be able to display the Rx spectrum and decoded audio;

4. dspserver from ghpsdr3-alex will NOT send the decoded Rx audio back to the server and hpsdr hardware for playback;

5. You cannot use the Tx function yet;

6. You cannot use other clients, such as Java or Android from the ghpsdr3 project to connect to the dspserver from ghpsdr3-alex.
