About

Audio in signal source takes upper sideband demodulated signal from system audio recording device. This option is suitable for analog radio receivers with SSB-USB demodulator connected to PC via audio line in. It's also a good choice for SDR receivers not supported directly by PW-Sat2 Ground Station Software, but supported by third-party applications with upper sideband demodulator.

Usage

  1. Choose "Signal source -> Audio in (SSB - USB)" in main window of the PW-Sat2 Ground Station Software and click "Run Source".
  2. A pop-up window with audio recording device name should appear:

  3. After accepting pop-up a new window should appear:

    • Adjust "Frequency below downlink (Hz)" according to your radio settings
    • Adjust volume to clearly see difference between 'signal' and 'no signal'
