winget install --id=AlexShovkoplyas.SkyRoof -e SkyRoof combines satellite trackikng and SDR functions in one application, which opens some interesting possibilities.EFor example, all satellite traces on the waterfall are labeled with satellite names, the boundaries of the transponderEsegments follow the Doppler shift, and all frequency tuning is done visually, with a mouse.
SkyRoof is a satellite tracking and software-defined radio (SDR) application designed to provide advanced monitoring and interaction capabilities for amateur radio operators and satellite enthusiasts. Combining real-time satellite tracking with SDR functionality, it offers unique features such as Doppler shift correction, visual frequency tuning, and labeled satellite traces on the waterfall display.
Key Features:
- Real-time satellite tracking and pass prediction.
- Visual representation of satellite positions using Sky View, Earth View, and a timeline interface.
- SDR-based waterfall display with zoom and pan capabilities across VHF and UHF bands.
- Frequency scale with Doppler-corrected satellite names and transponder segments.
- Integration with external devices, including CAT control for transceivers and antenna rotator support.
- Audio and I/Q output via VAC or UDP for advanced processing.
Audience & Benefit: Ideal for amateur radio operators (hams) and satellite enthusiasts, SkyRoof enhances monitoring and interaction with satellites by providing precise tracking data, Doppler-corrected frequencies, and seamless integration with SDR hardware. Its visual tools simplify frequency tuning and pass prediction, enabling users to optimize their satellite communication efforts.
Available as a free, open-source Windows application, SkyRoof can be installed via winget.
