GRABBER FOR 30 METER QRSS BEACONS
(2011)


The QRSS beacon reception station with frequency standard locked at
BBC Droitwich 198 kHz or Allouis 162 kHz for the frequency calibration.


The famous Raspberry Pi is used instead of a PC with the
LOPORA QRSS beacon reception program written in Python.

The receiver is the "EXCELLENT 30 METER RECEIVER FOR LOW POWER QRSS BEACONS AND PSK31". A detailed description at the following link:

Excellent 30 meter receiver for low power QRSS beacons and PSK31

For the frequency calibration of the receiver, I do use the solution that can be found at the following link. There is a solution for a frequency standard locked at Droitwich (198 kHz) and one for Allouis (162 kHz):

The software can be found at the following link. I do use the LOPORAv03x.py version. This version is much faster than the previous version and suitable for the famous "Raspberry Pi" micro-computer. Everything about Lopora and about how to use the Raspberry Pi can be found at the following link:
