Catsync The CAT Tool for WebSDRs
Many Ham’s have the problem that they are unable to receive stations due huge QRM generated by solar-pannels, PLC’s and so on.
Well that irritating problem can be eliminated by using CatSync.
Ok, ok, this option won’t really eliminate the qrm, but you can receive the stations via many SDR stations. And there is always one in your aeria.
By using CatSync you are able to connect a SRD stations on your rig.
The CAT Tool for WebSDRs
CATSync allows you to syncronize public WebSDR receivers with your real rig connected via CAT control to your computer. It supports the classical WebSDR as well as Kiwi SDR interfaces:
- Control any public WebSDR server by means of your real RIG…
- Supports a wide number of RIG’s (it uses the popular OmniRig engine)
- Supports WebSDR and KiwiSDR browser based SDR receivers
- Tune the VFO of your radio and see the web SDR follow in realtime !
- Click on the WebSDR waterfall and retune your rig in realtime.
- Syncronizes both, frequency and mode changes (CW, USB, LSB, AM, FM)
- Listen to the same frequency as your rig via web SDR or viceversa
- Ideally suited e.g. for people suffering from local QRM or working in nets
- Can track RX or TX VFO (e.g. to find that split of a DX station) if radio CAT command set of your rig supports both independently
- Can be interfaced with popular logging software using OminRig or via VSPE port splitter.
This software can help you to bring you back into ham radio when you are suffering from local temporary or permanent high noise levels in an urban QTH location.
SDR servers i’m using are: http://sdr.websdrmaasbree.nl:8901 and http://hackgreensdr.org:8901

There is also a demo version, but think this is not a good working version, but gives you just an impression
