SDR Applications | The SWLing Post

Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor Scott Gamble, who writes:

For the past several weeks I have been beta testing a new iOS app – Echo: Global SDR Receiver. Echo is the first SDR client custom-built natively for iOS, and launched today (March 31) in the App Store. I have found it to be a very capable listening companion and is very stable for long listening sessions spanning multiple SDR receivers.

Echo provides connectivity to over 2,000 remote SDR receivers (KiwiSDR, OpenWebRX, WebSDR, and FM DX), accessible by multiple search capabilities including a world map display, offline frequency library, station logging, and, owing to its native iOS development, features full background audio for uninterrupted listening. The iOS version supports both iPhone and iPad. More information is available at https://echosdr.com.

The App Store link is: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/echo-global-sdr-receiver/id6759174390

The developer, Mark Garrison, is very engaged with users, and there is an active Discord community of current Echo users.

Enjoy!

Thank you so much for the tip, Scott!

One of the major complaints I hear regarding the benchmark Microtelecom Perseus SDR is that its GUI (graphic user interface) is not resizable or scalable to fit a large monitor at full-screen.

If you’re a Perseus owner and if this is a problem for you, then you need to watch for the release of Studio 1 Software Defined Radio by SDR Applications. Which will boast:

Fully re-sizable windows/interface,
support for multiple sessions
and state of the art visualization, demodulation and filtering

WoodBoxRadio told me that SDR Applications is still finishing off development, but plan to have a bug-free version of their software available at the end of March 2012. They told me that Studio 1 will work with the Microtelecom Perseus, FDM-S1 and the Softrock family of software defined radios (SDRs).

We will stay in touch with WoodBoxRadio and post any updates here on the SWLing Post.
