Setting up multiple receivers on the same machine

HA7ILM edited this page Sep 1, 2015 · 11 revisions

Right now it is only possible to do if multiple instances of OpenWebRX are started.

  1. First of all, you'll have to make a copy of the openwebrx directory for each separate instance. So you will have something like an openwebrx-1, openwebrx-2, openwebrx-3...

  2. You will have to make the following changes to each of the receivers:

  • web_port should be different in config_webrx.py for each receiver.

  • You should adjust the start_rtl_command for each receiver. If you have multiple RTL-SDR devices connected to the same computer, you should select which device to use by adding the -d flag. An example:

    start_rtl_command="rtl_sdr -d 0 -s {samp_rate} ...

  • You should select different my_listening_port for each receiver in config_rtl.py.

  1. Please note the following:
  • You can use the same sdr.hu key for all of your receivers.
