More often than not I am listening and or operating from upstairs.  For digital modes VNC does the job but for audio modes not so much.  I&#8217;ve played with a few different options but the best so far is SDRconnect running as a server and using a client remotely.  On Linux and Mac is simple to run the server. Windows is a little more of a pain.  So I create a .bat file that can be executed from the desktop.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>@ECHO ON\nCD \"c:\\Program Files\\SDRplay\\SDRconnect\\\"\nSDRconnect.exe --server<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>While simple, it is a time and aggravation saver to be able to launch the server on the Windows platform.  Hopefully there will be an official way to launch the server in the release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SDRconnect is looking really good!  I hope plugin support and some type of rig control (hopefully rigctl) is added soon.  This would really give SDRconsole a run for its money.  Looking forward to exploring this latest version more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The latest version of SDRconnect has been released.
