Radio Telescope – Software for Radio JOVE

There are several computer programs that can be useful for Radio Jove participants. We list a few selected programs below with explanations of their functions. Note: All of these programs run on computers and tablets running Windows™ OS.

Software for RJ2.1 system - the best place to find software installation instructions for the latest RJ 2.1 systems using the SDRplay RSP1B receiver is the setup and operation manual here: Calibration software/hardware – If you are interested in building your own calibrator, instructions for using the RJ DIY Cal 1 Calibrator with SDR Console/SDRc2RSS/RSS are provided in the link below. Help using these documents is available by posting questions on the Radio-JOVE@groups.io email list. Links to these documents are also available on the RJ group wiki page.
Radio-Sky Spectrograph see http://radiosky.com/specdownload.html - This software allows you to view and store signals from software-defined radios (SDRs) or from special frequency-sweeping receivers. These radios, or "spectrographs", allow you to see how radio signals are distributed across several MegaHertz (MHz) of radio spectrum. Using Radio-Sky Spectrograph you will be able to: Radio-Sky Spectrograph is free for non-commercial use.
Radio Jupiter Pro see http://radiosky.com/rjpro3ishere.html - This is Radio-Sky Publishing's multi-function observing aid for Jupiter's decametric radio emissions. This program predicts most likely times for Jupiter radio storms, and displays Jupiter visibility information graphically. Predictions are customized to your location.
