Description:
Cross platform sdr application for Hermes Lite and Open HPSDR compatible radios (Red Pitya, Apache labs). Runs on Windows 7+, Linux x64, linux arm(rpi) and Mac. Features Run multiple radios at a time each with as many receivers as they support. Built in digi modes (PSK31, WSPR, JT9, JT65, FT8, FT4, FST4, FST4W) no need for virtual audio or serial cables. Virtual receivers that allow many modes to be monitored at once. This shares the bandwidth of as many slice receivers as the radio has between multiple modes. ssb compression using the controlled envelope ssb clipping algorithm. low latency audio and dsp chain. Neural network based noise reduction. Touch friendly UI. Undersampling reception and transmission, depending on the filters in front of the radio you can tune to above the Nyquist frequency and odd/even spectrum folding is transparently corrected. Radio frequency correction using network time protocol. MIDI interface to control surfaces and low latency cw keyers. Transmission is currently restricted to only work with the hermes lite, receive should work for other openHPSDR compatible radios but some features such as filter switching may not work. For support and discussion please use the SparkSDR Google Group.

Easy to use and works well Time Owned: 3 to 6 months.
I have recently entered the world of SDR radio, and was looking for the easiest product to setup and use for my new Hermes Lite 2. SparkSDR fit the bill perfectly.

SparkSDR looks and works exactly the same whether it is in MacOS, Linux, or Windows. It is easy to configure, and just plain works well. There is user support through google groups, and the software is regularly being updated and improved.

If you are brand new to SDR and want something that is practically fool proof, SparkSDR is a great choice.
