Is there any good open source software for WebSDR? I am living in a very noisy area from RF standpoint, but my parents are living in a better position. So I was thinking to install a SDR and a Raspberry and use them as remote SDR



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.

Ah yes, good suggestion. I forget about it. I have a mini whip antenna that I can place on the roof.


OpenWebRX is a good thing to start with, especially the fork at https://github.com/luarvique/openwebrx/
