FoxSDR: A From-Scratch Software-Defined Radio Receiver for Windows

Thank you to an anonymous contributor (known only as wonderingStars on GitHub) for writing and sharing their project, 'FoxSDR'. FoxSDR is advertised as a 'software-defined radio receiver written from scratch'. Like most receiver programs, it includes a spectrum and waterfall and various demodulation modes.

Key defining features to note include that it is completely browser-based, includes a built-in ADS-B decoder and map, and natively supports drivers for the HackRF, Airspy, and RTL-SDR. Being browser-based means that the server can run remotely and be placed close to the antenna to reduce signal losses, and the SDR can be accessed from any networked device. They also show that they are working on adding AIS, APRS, SSTV, Morse, RTTY, POCSAG, Inmarsat-C, and more to the program in the future.

The contributor writes that FoxSDR is currently Windows-only; however, they will add full Linux support once the Windows version is completely stable. They note that they are in the final stages of the beta and that, based on telemetry, they have over 100 daily users. They note that their three-year development plan includes plans to support all operating systems, including Android.
