TechMinds: Testing out the SkyRoof Software for Receiving and Tracking Amateur Radio Satellites

At the beginning of this month, we posted about SkyRoof, a new software program by VE3NEA for receiving and tracking ham radio satellites with an RTL-SDR and other SDRs.

Recently, Matt from the TechMinds channel uploaded a video on YouTube testing out SkyRoof. In the video, Matt explains the software's various sections and features, such as Doppler correction. He then goes on to demonstrate various audio voice signals being received with the software.

It wasnt mentioned in the presentation so this may be addressed, but the software needs to connect with, query, and post to the SatNOGS system.

Another feature that would be valuable is a common heard/not heard logging system so that operators can see recent spots for the different satellites. Some are intermittent. Some are on sometimes undisclosed schedules.

Needs FM-D and sort out FM resolving, sounds like its got a squelch on it and weak signals dont demodulate very well.
