Monitoring extremely weak signals in the QRSS (Very Slow Morse) mode requires specialized receiving and processing capabilities to extract information below the typical noise floor. This project provides a software solution, _QrssPiG_, designed to run on a Raspberry Pi, enabling it to function as a dedicated QRSS grabber. It interfaces with various Software Defined Radio (SDR) devices, including the popular _rtl-sdr_ dongles and _HackRF_ units, to acquire raw I/Q data streams. The software then performs the necessary signal processing to visualize and decode these faint, long-duration CW transmissions, often operating with milliwatts of power. The system leverages the computational power of the Raspberry Pi for real-time signal analysis, allowing hams to participate in QRSS experiments and monitor distant beacons. It supports different SDR hardware, offering flexibility in setup and deployment for home stations or remote monitoring sites. The project includes detailed instructions for installation and configuration, making it accessible for those familiar with Linux environments. This grabber is particularly useful for tracking propagation on the LF and HF bands where QRSS activity is common, providing a visual representation of signal presence over extended periods.

SkyRoof is an open-source, 64-bit Windows application designed for amateur radio operators and satellite enthusiasts, combining satellite tracking and Software Defined Radio (SDR) functionality in a unified platform. The software provides real-time satellite tracking, pass predictions, and visual representations through Sky View, Earth View, and Timeline displays. It features an SDR-based waterfall display covering VHF/UHF satellite segments with Doppler-corrected frequency scales, automatic satellite labeling, and visual tuning capabilities. SkyRoof supports various SDR devices (Airspy Mini, SDRplay, RTL-SDR), external transceiver CAT control, and antenna rotator integration. The application automatically downloads satellite data from SatNOGS and other sources, offers voice announcements for satellite passes, and includes comprehensive frequency control with Doppler tracking, manual corrections, and RIT functionality for enhanced satellite communication operations.

Ground Station offers real-time satellite tracking and radio communication capabilities, primarily for amateur radio operators engaged in satellite operations. It utilizes **TLE data** from sources like CelesTrak and SatNOGS for precise orbital prediction and integrates with various SDR devices, including RTL-SDR, SoapySDR, and UHD/USRP radios, to receive live signals. The software provides automated antenna rotator control and **Hamlib-compatible** rig control with Doppler correction, crucial for maintaining signal lock on fast-moving LEO satellites. It supports IQ recording in SigMF format and decodes several digital modes such as SSTV, FSK, GFSK, GMSK, and BPSK with AX25 USP Geoscan framing. Dedicated interfaces are available for satellite tracking, SDR waterfall displays with live transcription and packet decoding, and telemetry packet viewing. Users can manage TLE data synchronization and SDR hardware, along with browsing decoded outputs through an integrated file browser. An observations dashboard and DSP topology view further enhance the operational experience, providing comprehensive tools for monitoring and analyzing satellite passes.
