Tracking satellites with SDR

 To track satellites you will need the following software and the rtl-sdr dongle or similar dongles:-

• orbitron
• Sdrsharp. 

After the installation is done you might need to edit a few things. The editing procedure is available at the HamRadioSet's YouTube channel. 

  

How to?

1. open orbitron and SDR# with administrator privileges.
2. Now from the list of satellites select the satellite you want to track. For our example we are selecting ISS.
3. Now in orbitron go to rotor/radio menu and set the Dnlink to FM and driver to MYDDE and hit the connect icon. 
4. A MYDDE client instance will start. Now go to sdr# and scroll to satellite tracking plugin and select the satellite tracking software to orbitron. 
5. Now click connect to pipe the inputs to sdr#.

Note:-

Receiving is  good and is under legal limits. Transmitting and piggybacking is illegal.
