gqrx VS SDRPlusPlus

There's an issue open for this: https://github.com/gqrx-sdr/gqrx/issues/1104

I could really use some help from a software build expert. Gqrx and all its dependencies would need to be built in CI with Apple silicon support, and I don't know how to do that.

If you don't need the web interface and your usual desktop SDR software supports rtl-sdr tcp mode, you can easily set up a small board that calls rtl-sdr with the appropriate parameters so that it will wait for a remote connection from the above software, not unlike what happens with WebSDR, but you would be using your usual desktop SDR application which would be native and much more snappy than a web browser. Here's an example using gqrx.

GQRX works pretty well for me. There is also CubicSDR and SDRAngel afaik - you might just want to play around with them and see which you are most comfortable with.

SSB/CW (also (W/N)FM/AM/Raw) using GQRX

For most signals (including analog AM and FM modes) you can use a laptop with an RTL-SDR USB dongle (fairly cheap), or another SDR, and a reasonably tuned antenna. Various RTL-SDR models can tune from around 500 kHz up to 1.75 GHz with 3 mhz of bandwdith, and works with free software like SDR# for Windows and GQRX for Linux. It works with lots of other software, too, for ham modes, digital modes, etc.

Some of the Crossfire modules have a rudimentary spectrum analyzer function on them that might help you identify if there are other devices operating in the 900MHz band around that area, but I'm not sure the nano TX is one of them. I have a couple RTL-SDR dongles or equivalent I'd use with GQRX as a cheap spectrum analyzer if possible.

Good old GQRX for me https://gqrx.dk/

There is loads of software that will work such as SDR++, GQRX, CubicSDR, and SDRangel just to name a few. For HD radio reception, there is nrsc5. Nrsc5 only works with an rtl-sdr, so you will need one if you want to receive HD radio.

I'm using newest SDR++ nightly built. win x64. Anyone can resolve this problem? Mabye I'm not using the right driver for SDR++? If so where can I find the right one?

SDR++ from GitHub (https://github.com/AlexandreRouma/SDRPlusPlus) runs on M1

Ah, I see what you mean, it's been a while since I looked at their repo. They don't seem to have one for ubuntu jammy yet in their stable release branch. But they do have an ubuntu jammy one in their nightly builds https://github.com/AlexandreRouma/SDRPlusPlus/releases/tag/nightly. I did give it a go and it seems to work okay, but obviously you would need to try it more thoroughly than I have.

What incompatibility? Do you think that this code https://github.com/AlexandreRouma/SDRPlusPlus doesn't support ARM?

SDR++

Some software tips. There is a newer version of SDR++ that includes an IF filter for NOAA APT signals that should help improve things: https://github.com/AlexandreRouma/SDRPlusPlus/releases/tag/nightly That gives you a new checkbox under the Radio section called "IF Noise Reduction" with a dropdown to select the type of reduction (where you select 'NOAA APT'). You can also use the "Decimation" option in the Source section to give a bit better SNR. From what I've read you get a 3db reduction in noise every time you double the decimation level. If you can't get rid of the noise around 137.1MHz maybe try going for NOAA 15 or 18 since those are at higher frequencies, hopefully away from that noise.
