GQRX plugin to allow synchronizing between GQRX and an external radio. This modified version is intended to support using GQRX as a panadapter for a uBITX transceiver, via an RTL-SDR USB dongle.

(a) rig to control GQRX (b) GQRX to control rig There's a 0.5 second hang time whenever a given input is made, to prevent dueling inputs. The key thing appears to be, whenever GQRX sets the frequency, I need to tell the rig, but then also, tell GQRX again, so that it centers up the frequency. Other thing to note is that the frequencies are all negative. I wonder if that is actually necessary. |

Gqrx Panadapter
A Gqrx to Hamlib interface that keeps the frequency displayed in Gqrx synchronized with the frequency settings on your radio.
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 setting Gqrx.
Usage
gqrx-panadapter.py [-h] [-g P] [-r P] [-i T] [-f F]
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-g P, --gqrx-port P remote control port configured in Gqrx
-r P, --rigctld-port P listening port of rigctld
-i T, --interval T update interval in milliseconds
-f F, --ifreq F intermediate frequency in MHz
Make sure you configure remote control in Gqrx.
