That was the exact goal i was working about a full year on it to get it like this And yea themes are in so you can change colors already. Not everything yet but customizability is there in the admin panel you can customize the websdr to your liking adding images changing colors etc hope you enjoy it

And im really proud the performance and setup is how i wanted it to be. Also hope you like the day/night feature and widgets

Also did alot of work on the AGC so you hear its way cleaner and doesnt jump as much. You hear signals even when they are weak

I honestly don't know how they pulled it off, but the installation process for FernSDR is mind blowingly fast. I had the server up, configured, and running within literally a couple of minutes.

Performance wise, I'm genuinely impressed. Running four RTL-SDR dongles and an SDRplay RSP1a simultaneously is rocksolid. The backend is lightweight, responsive, and insanely efficient the longest and most frustrating part of the entire setup was honestly just battling SDRplay's API driver installer!

That said, visually... the UI gives off serious hospital vibes. It is insanely sterile and clinical it genuinely looks more like medical diagnostic software than a WebSDR interface. It gets the job done smoothly, but it could really use some visual warmth or custom themes to make it feel less like an ER monitor lol..but hey that is personal for the rest thumbs up, this is the first SDR software that is working with multi rtl dongle and sdrplay setup out of the box..

PhantomSDR-Plus and PhantomSDR Desktop have their own webpage, so now you can refer to this link

What was wrong with NovaSDR? Why did you abandon it? NovaSDR works seamlessly with dozens of receivers.

Hey, yes. It worked with multiple receivers but it went away from my plan i had. I would've rewrote most parts of NovaSDR to get there. Which made no sense. NovaSDR for non tech people was to hard to install and had to many dependencies. Also i wanted modules for sdr inputs and decoders so way more customizable. But its still a great software

Good absolutely let me know on anything you face. U can install it via script or docker as you like. Just use the installer 🙂 any Feedback or feature requests or anything is appreciated. You can do it here or on github issues. I set up github issues so theres a form depending on what request. Really appreciate it. Also if you install it via installer then you will always be able to update over the admin panel. Once a new update releases it will give you the button to update with the changelog so its just 1 click.

going to free up a linux box and let you know asap
.

And u can even enable history on the sdr that allows u to have up to 72 hours history of Waterfall. Also per band so each band has a history.

Yes, that's exactly how it works: each dongle is its own band with its own frequency, sample rate and antenna, picked by serial number, and all of them run at the same time. Listeners choose the band at the top, and different people can be on different bands at once. Only bands on the same device take turns (that's the day/night feature).

The one thing I can't offer yet is AIS decoding: FT8 is the only decoder module so far, so SDR 4 would be listenable but not decoded. AIS and APRS are on the list, and your setup is a good reason to move them up.

I'd really appreciate it if you tested it, because a 4 dongle setup like yours hasn't been tested on real hardware yet. If anything breaks, open an issue and I'll fix it.

And u can control all of that via the admin panel, you dont need to run 4 instances of fernsdr for 4 sdrs. Just 1

To give a concrete example of my setup:
SDR 1 is running part of the 70cm band
SDR 2 is running the 2m band
SDR 3 is running civil airband
SDR 4 is dedicated to AIS decoding

That is 4 distinct dongles on 4 different antennas all operating at the same time. Does FernSDR allow configuring and serving multiple physical tuners concurrently on different frequencies, or is it multi device in the sense that a user can switch between available SDRs?

I appreciate that you are open to feedback and I am definitely willing to test it out if it supports this kind of multi-tuner setup!
