With the SimTX desktop app[edit | edit source]

The app connects your SDR program through a bridge on your own computer:

  1. In the Receive tab, choose Where you listen: one of your stations, a public station, or Ad-hoc.
  2. Under Tuning, set the Center frequency and the Sample rate (Hz).
  3. Press Start RX. The Bridge section shows the address to use, by default 127.0.0.1 and rtl_tcp port 1234.
  4. In SDR++, choose the RTL-TCP source and enter that address and port.

SimTX Guide/Receiving describes every receive setting.

Receiving with RTL-TCP[edit | edit source]

It is very to receive your and other people signal with RTL-TCP.

Most of SDR applications support RTL-TCP, Took SDR++ as example:

Q&A[edit | edit source]

Q: What sample rate should I use?[edit | edit source]

  • 250KHz (0.25MSPS) for receiving Shortwave and lower band
  • 1.024MSPS (or higher) for receiving FM, wide signal

Q: I don't see anything?[edit | edit source]

  • Make sure you type in the right information
  • Make sure you are tuned in the right frequency
  • Try using manual gain or RTL-TCP if you are on higher band

Q: What band should I receive?[edit | edit source]

  • Try 60m SW band (4700 - 5100KHz)
  • or FM band (87.5 - 108MHz and recommend using RTL-AGC / Manual gain)

Q: I don't see the port box.[edit | edit source]

  • Try "argon.simtx.net:1240"
