SDRplay is pleased to announce that RFbits has just launched brand new SDR receiver software called “Ortac_Rx” – and it’s been made available for SDRplay RSP owners to use from day one.
Ortac_Rx is a general purpose DSP receiver designed to have a simple front end, but having full capabilities within. It is compatible with Windows 7 to 11.
It features:
The website can be found at https://rfbits.com/one/ where there’s a link to the Ortac_Rx page from which you can download the manual and the software. ( https://rfbits.com/one/index.php/ortac_rx/ )
The site also includes a link to Ortac_AIS which is an advanced Windows dual channel AIS DSP receiver and message decoder. It is capable of decoding up to 25 messages per second simultaneously on channels A and B.
Nov 9th 2022 footnote: This third party software is not provided by SDRplay and questions regarding its operation and performance should be directed to the author. SDRplay’s own SDR receiver software, provided free of charge to RSP owners, is SDRuno: https://www.sdrplay.com/sdruno/
The title of this blog initially used the word “support” and not “compatibility” which may have been confusing as to who is supporting the software.
I have reposted this blog item from a few weeks ago because John Fallows, the author of the “Making it up” blog has added a new update with additional information and Q&As raised by interested users who contacted him – see his new article, posted today – here: https://play.fallows.ca/wp/radio/shortwave-radio/how-to-do-sdrplay-speech-translation/
——————-original blog post from September 28th 2022 follows—————————————————————–
Now here’s something really cool, posted by John Fallows, the author of the “Making it up” blog – it’s a video showing you how to have automatic voice translation for signals using SDRuno. In the video, John explains how to connect the audio from SDRuno into a language translation app running in an Android emulator on the same machine. The end result is stunning and you get to to see the translated text as well as to hear the translated speech using the latest from either Google or Microsoft voice synthesis technology.
This makes it much easier to monitor and understand foreign broadcasts which may not be readily available over the internet. I have yet to experiment with amateur radio SSB speech but this could be a great way of finding out what other cultures are discussing, especially during times of crisis.
