Hi everyone,

I was looking into this and, at least as far as I could find, I couldn't find a library or repository where previous versions of PhantomSDR-Plus are available for installation, in addition to the current version.

I think it could be very useful to have a historical archive of previous versions. For those who are just getting started with this latest-generation SDR receiver system, the installation and configuration can be quite complex, especially when they don't yet have experience with Linux, compiling, dependencies, and receiver configuration.

Having some previous versions available, together with their corresponding working installers, could make things much easier for new users. For example, it would be interesting to keep versions such as 3.1, 3.3, 3.6, and 3.7, if possible.

The idea would not be to replace the current versions, but rather to provide a kind of "historical library" where a user could start with a simpler version, learn how to install and configure PhantomSDR, get their receiver up and running, and then gradually upgrade to the newer versions.

I believe this could encourage many amateur radio operators who are currently interested in setting up their own WebSDR, but may become discouraged when faced with the complexity of the current installation process.

I don't know whether it would technically be possible to maintain an archive of these previous versions, but I think it would be a very useful resource for those who are just joining the project.

ah so its some of hird-party program user.. there is no problem that the station is doing so.. i just wondered why they would listen to static     73

Hello Guy"s

It"s not a problem..Phantom can support a lot of users.

Put the initial frequency on 10.000 MHz AM.

Static users will listen to the WWW beacon !

This is definitely a bad habit, which we have known for a long time in all SDRs.
There was initially a thought to set an initial time limit, but many users use SDRs in combination with third-party programs for decoding or just monitoring, and so we left it as an idea.
If the sysops wish, we can set a time limit, which will be set individually by each sysop. Of course, there is always the possibility through the Admin Panel to kick a user, who either uses the SDR badly, or has forgotten it on a frequency and consumes bandwidth unnecessarily.

just have no clue

Don't loose time. 22.04 is obsolete
I will try 26.xx just for see

Yes, try Ubuntu 26.04. I am not absolutely sure that it will be installed there, but it worths to make a try, so to fix this also, if something is wrong!! 

P.S. My virtual installer said that installation in Ubuntu 26.04 succeeded. Time to see it live!

Well dear Eric.

The problem in Ubuntu 22 is the RADE install that its python has to meet the older Ubuntu 22 criteria.
Now is fixed, with a new dedicated installer, named install_ubuntu22.sh. The repo is updated again from scratch, and the documentation too, so you can make a new try.

The installer is tested on a virtual environment and succeeded, so let us try it to a live instance of Ubuntu 22.
Once again, I've tested all the other installers in various Linux distro's, all of them in virtual environment. All ok!

So Eric, please make another try.

P.S. Yes, it is old, but maybe are sysops out there who wish to stay in Ubuntu 22, so it worths to fix it.

Compile right but don't start on Ubuntu 22.04 (my dev server)

I'll try to build an install script for ubuntu 22. If it works, I'll upload it here and update the repo.

Hello Darko

It's not a big problem.
My active phantom work perfectly with 3.6.0 for the moment.
I will try 3.7.0 with an other OS.
