Beacon Monitor-2 Project

This is software to monitor 'NCDXF/IARU International Beacon Project' stations by Raspberry Pi and SoftRock SDR receiver. Please also refer http://www.ncdxf.org/beacon/

After the statement on the web site (http://ayoko.net/beacon/) on March, 2017, the progress was quite slow until this November. Sorry for your patience so far.

Installation

Please refer installation document.

Currently, this software is provided as a beta version. It still requires clean-up work.

Troubleshooting

Please refer common troubleshooting.

Web site

• My own monitor station: http://ayoko.net/beacon

• Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/beaconmonitor2/

• Project background (in Japanese): http://flogics.com/wp/ja/2017/11/beaconmonitor2-available/

Some notices

My main receiver for Beacon Monitor is SoftRock and PCM2902 USB CODEC adapter, so I'm focusing on it. I'm also considering RTL-SDR dongle and SpyVerter, and also recently announced AirSpy HF+.

Missing functionality

Functionality which are not implemented yet though there were in the previous Monitor-1 site is:

• Map Visualizer (gnomonic projection mapping)

• Twitter bot

Thank you for your additional patience...
