SkyRoof: Ham Satellite Tracking and SDR Receiver Software
2025-06-05
VE3NEA recently released SkyRoof, a Windows program combining satellite tracking and SDR receiver functionalities. Supporting RTL-SDR, Airspy, and SDRplay, it tracks and receives ham radio satellites, offering real-time tracking, pass prediction, a sky map, and an SDR waterfall display. It demodulates SSB/CW/FM, automatically compensates for Doppler shift, and interfaces with hamlib-compatible antenna rotators. Johnson's Techworld on YouTube features a SkyRoof test video.
