Using HDSDR with HF Transceiver 
(Examples of using RTL-SDR in uBITX #2)
Modified - Add Videos

CAT Support uBITX Firmware CEC Version supports SDR connections from Version 1.07.
http://www.hamskey.com/2018/04/how-to-connect-sdr-rtl-sdr-to-ubitx-and.html


uBITX CEC Firmware is working to release beta 1.073 soon.
1.Supports 16x02 LCD, I2C 16x02 LCD, 20x04 LCD and I2C 20x04 LCD.

2.Extended Button support. 
With only 4 resistors and 4 buttons, you can directly control the frequently used 'Select Mode', 'Band up', 'Band down' and 'Select Tune Step'.

3.I decided to support Signal Meter. 
To support all forms of S.Meter, curve values (Level value)can be entered directly from uBITX Manager.  



The video below is the video I shot at the time of this writing.

Tested video that was run after all the settings for uBITX and HDSDR are complete


1.Install
  http://www.hdsdr.de/
  HDSDR is a representative SDR software supporting IF-output.

  Download & Install


Download ExtIO-RTL2832.dll and copy to HDSDR Installed folder
(if you use RTL-SDR)
If you search for 'ExtIO_RTL2832.dll' on Google, you can find a site that can be downloaded.


2.Configuration HDSDR
Execute HDSDR

Set Transceiver (Omni-Rig)
To download and install the Omni-rig, see the link below.

Click the 'CAT to Radio (Omni-Rig) -> Omni-Rig Setup'

If you have already set up Omni-Rig, it will run automatically.


Option -> RF Front-End Configuration

Select SDR on IF output, which is controlled 'by Omni-Rig1'

Enter IF-Frequency, Enter the SDR Offset Frequency you entered in uBITX Manager.
Below is an example of the settings of my uBITX Manager.


Click the 'Apply'

3.QSO with HDSDR
  Turn SDR Mode
  (Depending on your radio, you can skip this part. This example is an example from uBITX. )
The example below is an example of a 20x04 LCD. In the case of 16x02 LCD, it appears slightly different.

    1. other The VFO frequency.
      uBITX shows the frequency of VfoB up to Khz when VfoA is main.
      If vfoB, it shows the frequency of vfoA.
      If you check the Scroll option in uBITX Manager, it scrolls the whole frequency periodically to the left.

Introduction to UV-K5 HF Fullband receive version 0.3

Introduction to UV-K5 HF Fullband receive Version 0.3 This is an introduction to UV-K5 HF full-band reception firmware 0.3HF using SI4732-A10. This version is released separately from the existing UV-K5 CEC firmware version. because space is needed to store a large PATCH file to use SI4732-A10's SSB. 0.3HF added several functions to use SSB for shortwave radio and amateur radio.

Release CEC Firmware v1.200 for uBITX All version(include V2, V3, V4, V5)

Release CEC Firmware v1.200 for uBITX All Version (include v2, v3, v4, v5) I did the firmware work for v5 when uBITX V5 was released, but I release it now. I received the feedback from a thankful beta tester and tested it myself by converting my uBITX v3 to v5 but I was not sure. I ordered the uBITX V5 and delivered the correct uBITX V5, so I made a little more fine-tuning. If you use V2, V3, V4, you do not need to update this firmware.

Introducing UV-K5 Version 0.1P (CW)

  Introducing UV-K5 Version 0.1P (CW Mode) CW-related functions have been added to version 0.1P. The spectrum function has been removed but is maintained in the source code. Later, when the source code is distributed, you can activate it and use it if necessary. This version is for testing purposes only. It will be redistributed as the stable version 0.2 in approximately 1-2 weeks. If you don't want to beta test, you can wait a week or two and download 0.2
