For instance, this command line tool:\n\nhttps://github.com/cubehub/doppler\n\nshould be useful, especially for embedded systems such as a Raspberry Pi.\n\nThe disadvantage of doing Doppler correction is that you can only do it\nfor one satellite. In 145.825 there is the problem that there are\nseveral satellites you want to receive, several of them may be in view\nsimultaneously, and they will have different Doppler offsets. Still, you\ncould setup the system so that if there's only one satellite in view you\ncorrect for that satellite and if there are several you either\nprioritize and correct for one of them, take an average of the\ncorrections, or just do no correction. This is more complicated, of course.\n\nHowever, on 437.550 you only have the ISS, so it makes much sense to\ntrack Doppler correction only for the ISS, and this is much easier than\nhandling several satellites.\n\nSo, nothing new here. What I mean is that automatical Doppler correction\nfor the ISS using an RasberryPi and RTL-SDR is not that hard (and much\nbetter solution than listening on a fixed frequency). Come on guys, we\ncan do it!\n\n\n73,\n\nDani EA4GPZ. \n\n", "attachments": [] }
