Gqrx Panadapter (uBITX panadapter version)

Authors

• Original version: Alexander Fasching, OE5TKM
• uBITX version: Rob French, KC4UPR

A Gqrx to Hamlib interface that keeps the frequency displayed in Gqrx synchronized with the frequency settings on your radio. This version allows for bidirectional control: if the frequency is changed on the radio, then it will be updated in Gqrx, and if a new frequency is selected in Gqrx, then the radio will be tuned to that frequency.

The IF output of the radio should be connected to a SDR, which is then received by Gqrx. This script continuously reads the frequency of the radio from rigctld and sets the LNB and frequency settings in Gqrx. In addition, if a new frequency is selected in Gqrx by clicking on the waterfall, then the script will command a new frequency to rigctld to update the radio's frequency.
