I also use Orbitron for tracking satellite, which is quite important for me because I’m using DK7ZB 4-element Yagi antenna. WXtoIMG will wait until satellite pass (so it’s VERY important to have correct time and date). Now just start SDR, and in WXtoIMG press File->Record->Auto record. If you won’t everything should work correctly, but you won’t be able to hear signal – and it’s good to be able to, so you can adjust your antenna (especially if you’re using directional antenna). You can set it in either in Windows “Recording devices” or in Audacity. The last thing you have to do is to make VAC line be heard out of speakers. Also set “maximum elevation above” and “record only when satellite is above” to small values, so it will start recording satellite when it will be a bit above horizon. Now go to Options->Recording options and check if wxtoimg is set to record VAC line.
#Tle used by wxtoimg update#
First of all – update your Keplers – otherwise wxtoimg won’t know where the sats are (it should ask you to do that if Keplers are too old, but I do that manually once a week or so).
In Audio section set output to VAC line, and turn off filter. Start SDR#, set it for FM modulation with 36kHz bandwidth (APT is 34kHz, but because of the Doppler effect I set it to 36kHz), turn the squelch off. Free version puts watermark (female voice) every few seconds into the stream, so it’s better to have full version.
#Tle used by wxtoimg install#
Just install it, it will be set by default. homemade Yagi antenna (any omni-directional antenna should work too)įirst of all, you need to set up VAC line.Orbitron (also not required, but very usefull – for tracking).Audacity (not required, I’m using it as a backup recorder, if wxtoimg would crash).Virtual Audio Cable (not sure if required, but I used it).For now – just ask me if you have any question.
There will be more detailed info about configuration of WXtoIMG/Virtual Audio Cable/whatever, I will also add videos. I will rewrite this post when I will have some time.
