Our current SDR online list: https://list.websdr.fun Paul has done a good job to list them (almost) all. The old ones keep working for some time, but links will be stopped at some point.

Let us try to reinstall manually:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y \
    build-essential cmake git \
    python3 python3-pip \
    nodejs npm \
    aplay alsa-utils

Python packages:    
pip3 install websockets matplotlib torch numpy scipy

Verify Python packages:
python3 -c "import websockets, matplotlib, torch, numpy, scipy; print('All OK')"

Clone and Build the radae Repository (delete the previous ~radae -> rm -rf radae):
sudo apt install build-essential cmake git python3-pip
git clone https://github.com/drowe67/radae.git ~/radae
cd ~/radae
mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
make -j$(nproc)

Verify lpcnet_demo was built:
ls -la ~/radae/build/src/lpcnet_demo

Verify model19_check3 weights are present (this is the correct model):
ls ~/radae/model19_check3/checkpoints/checkpoint_epoch_100.pth

Install Python Dependencies:
pip3 install websockets matplotlib torch numpy
pip3 install scipy

Verify the Decode Pipeline:
cd ~/radae
./inference.sh model19_check3/checkpoints/checkpoint_epoch_100.pth \
    wav/brian_g8sez.wav /dev/null \
    --rate_Fs --pilots --pilot_eq --eq_ls --cp 0.004 \
    --write_rx rx.f32 --auxdata
 
Wait for it to finish. It prints stats ending with:
loss: 0.741 Auxdata BER: 0.012

Then decode and play:
cat rx.f32 \
    | python3 radae_rxe.py --model_name model19_check3/checkpoints/checkpoint_epoch_100.pth \
    | ./build/src/lpcnet_demo -fargan-synthesis - - \
    | aplay -f S16_LE -r 16000


You should hear a voice. The output shows sync acquisition. The `underrun!!!` messages during this offline test are expected:
  1 state: search     ...
  5 state: sync       ... SNRdB:  4.03 uw_err: 0
Playing raw data 'stdin' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 16000 Hz, Mono


Verify the sidecar starts correctly:
python3 ~/PhantomSDR-Plus/rade_helper.py

Expected output (no WARNING lines):
[RADE] helper starting on ws://0.0.0.0:8074
[RADE] radae_rx.py    : /home/sv1btl/radae/radae_rxe.py
[RADE] model          : /home/sv1btl/radae/model19_check3/checkpoints/checkpoint_epoch_100.pth
[RADE] lpcnet_demo    : /home/sv1btl/radae/build/src/lpcnet_demo
[RADE] auxdata        : ON (default)
[RADE] torch threads  : 1 per instance (RADE_TORCH_THREADS to override)
[RADE] architecture   : per-connection (each user tunes independently)
[RADE] listening — waiting for PhantomSDR-Plus clients

I will try a full fresh install on an other server.

At this time, the ambulance is front the portal to bring me at the Psychiatric Hospital .... ;D  ;D  ;D

F1NSK

More seriously

I have :

[RADE] sidecar starting at Fri, 10 Apr 2026 15:41:13 +0200
[RADE] helper starting on ws://0.0.0.0:8074
[RADE] radae_rx.py    : /home/f1nsk/radae/radae_rxe.py
[RADE] model          : /home/f1nsk/radae/model19_check3/checkpoints/checkpoint_epoch_100.pth
[RADE] lpcnet_demo    : /home/f1nsk/radae/build/src/lpcnet_demo
[RADE] auxdata        : ON (default)
[RADE] torch threads  : 1 per instance (RADE_TORCH_THREADS to override)
[RADE] architecture   : per-connection (each user tunes independently)
[RADE] listening — waiting for PhantomSDR-Plus clients

But don't work  :-[

The most important, we solve the audio cut !

In a few time all my friends will be on W11 or Linux so i will switch on Opus.
Better sound and less latency.

Have a nice day Doctor !  ;D

Answer from AI:

everything is installed properly, without errors, rade.sh is running normally, 8074 is opened, but 'Sidecar not reachable. Start it on the server:python3 rade_helper.py  (listens on port 8074)" message appeared.


PM Diagnosed HTTPS/WebSocket protocol mismatch causing connectivity failureDiagnosed HTTPS/WebSocket protocol mismatch causing connectivity failure. This is almost certainly a mixed content block. Your PhantomSDR-Plus is served over https:// via Nginx/Certbot, so the browser refuses to open a plain ws:// connection to port 8074 — it requires wss://. The sidecar is running fine; the browser never even tries to connect.

Fix: proxy port 8074 through Nginx as wss://
Add this inside your existing server {} block in your Nginx config (the one that already has your SSL certificate):

nginxlocation /rade {
    proxy_pass        http://127.0.0.1:8074;
    proxy_http_version 1.1;
    proxy_set_header  Upgrade    $http_upgrade;
    proxy_set_header  Connection "upgrade";
    proxy_set_header  Host      $host;
    proxy_read_timeout 3600s;
}
bashsudo nginx -t && sudo nginx -s reload

Then in audio.js, find setRADEDecoding() and change the helper URI line:
js// Find:
var helperUri = uri || ('ws://' + window.location.hostname + ':8074');

// Change to:
var helperUri = uri || ('wss://' + window.location.host + '/rade');
Note wss:// (not ws://) — this goes through Nginx which holds the SSL certificate, so the browser accepts it.

Then rebuild:
cd ~/PhantomSDR-Plus
./recompile.sh

After this, port 8074 no longer needs to be reachable from the outside at all — traffic flows through your existing HTTPS port. The sidecar itself doesn't change, only the path the browser uses to reach it.

Please try this way and inform me about the results,

Nginx is not installed on the pc ....

I can't add something more. It is installed in 2 more pc's that they are now working in Greece and even locally in a Pi5...

Can you please ask AI, becuse it will ask you questions and make some test, that I cannot make them my self in your pc ?

F1NSK

No problem Emmanuel.

I will solve the bug later and try on a dev PC with a second RX888 of my own.

Its not very important. All other functions are perfect now.

As you can see,I've put a link to my alternative Web888 in the title menu.  ;D

I know more the app_svelte now...and imagine to put both analog and digital Smeter on the same page ! ::)  ::)
But not on the live server !  ;D  ;D

73's my friend

In this case, I have to work on a common calibration of s-meters, and this is what I am working now. Testing all the time...

RADE is not a problem for you, I can understand it, but it would be useful to know what the problem is, because something like this will maybe face other sysops too.

F1NSK

Be quiet my friend !

I will continue to investigate about RADE and give you my results.

Twin Smeter app_svelte will be amazing.
Only one file for the maintenance and no need of the useless version switch.

More simple, more efficient !  ;D

3.1.0 work very fine now and i have more and more end-users in France.
A lot of them are bluffed by your job.
As you can see, i have only changed some labels in a more comprehensive form for "Frenchies" and to avoid a full translate.
An unique app_svelte will made easier a translation in several language for the Gui. I can made French and Spanish...

Nice day to you Emmanuel
