So after my success with transmitting SSTV from my Raspberry Pi, I thought I would try WSPR. I chose to try the code from JamesP6000. This is the brief usage that I noted to download it and get it going:
Install
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get install git
git clone https://github.com/JamesP6000/WsprryPi.git
cd WsprryPi
make
Usage
wspr [options] callsign locator tx_pwr_dBm f1 ...
OR
wspr [options] --test-tone f
Options
-h --help
Print out this help screen.
-p --ppm ppm
Known PPM correction to 19.2MHz RPi nominal crystal frequency.
-s --self-calibration
Call ntp_adjtime() before every transmission to obtain the PPM
error of the xtal.
-r --repeat
Repeatedly, and in order, transmit on all the specified freqs.
-x --terminate
Terminate after n transmissions have been completed.
-o --offset
Add a random frequency offset to each transmission:
+/- 80 Hz for WSPR
+/- 8 Hz for WSPR-15
-t --test-tone freq
Simply output a test tone and the specified frequency. Only used
for debugging and to verify calibration.
-n --no-delay
Transmit immediately, do not wait for a WSPR TX window. Used
for testing only.
Example
sudo ./wspr --repeat M6KWH IO92 10 40m
Frequencies
Hz
or.wspr centre frequency for bands:
LF LF-15 MF MF-15 160m 160m-15 80m 60m 40m 30m 20m 17m 15m 12m 10m 6m 4m 2m
HDSDR->SoundFlower->WSPR
40m Centre 7040000, dial 7038600 to get 1500hz tone out
from 40m = 7040100 tx freq
I made a new directory and put in it:
-rw-r--r-- 1 pi pi 1417 Mar 10 14:40 usage.txt -rwxr-xr-x 1 pi pi 69792 Mar 10 14:14 wsprThis is the command I used and the messages in the Terminal
pi@fido:~/WSPR $ sudo ./wspr --repeat M6KWH IO92 10 40m WSPR packet contents: Callsign: M6KWH Locator: IO92 Power: 10 dBm Requested TX frequencies: 7.040100 MHz Extra options: Transmissions will continue forever until stopped with CTRL-C.Here's the received signal on HDSDR. LOTS OF HARMONICS!!! But the fundamental is readable
My Arduino SDR audio IQ output is viewed by HDSDR which is then piped to SoundFlower which is then the input to the WSPR program, all running on my iMac.
As you can see the Pi is set to transmit at 7040100Hz, but the WSPR report reception at 7040027, The problem is almost certainly that my Arduino SDR is off frequency by the difference...
