Part of a SK estate I got a Icom pcr 1000 look like a early SDR rig. is it possible for the school up here to use it for the FunCube SATs. If what software ? Going to try to get it running tonight. 73 Brock -- W6GMT BROCK THOMSEN MARCELL MN 56657 EN37EN
Check out this website for software options:
I don't know how well the software works with the latest operating systems and one minor problem is that it requires a serial port, so you'll likely need to acquire a USB-to-serial adapter if you don't already have one.
The 0.2 uV sensitivity specified should be good enough to receive FUNcube's telemetry.
