TCP/IP Servers

Please note that these downloads - containing the sources - are NOT necessary to run QIRX, as it contains all binaries.

• The sources of the rtl_tcp and airspy_tcp are available on GitHub.
  For the rtl_tcp sources, you might visit Oldenburger's GitHub site.
  For the airspy_tcp sources, you might visit this GitHub site,
• RSP3_tcp. Sources available on Github.
  Remarks.
  • For the RSP driver to work, sdrplay's service must have been installed.
  • RSP2_tcp is no longer supported.

QIRX V3.2.2

Important Remark: Before installing this version, un-install manually any old version on your machine.
Otherwise some weird errors could appear, which are probably due to the working of the current installer.
Credit for tracking down this behavior is to andimik, who reported it in the corresponding rundfunkforum.de thread.

The download consists of a single installer file QIRX322_Setup.msi, containing the following products:

• QIRX 3.2.2
  • qirx.exe "Single File Executable". It runs under the .net6-windows environment. It contains all system files of the .net6 system and all application files and DLL's, packed in one file of about 150MByte.
    With "Single File Executables" no installation of the .net6 system is necessary.
  • Resources.dll, containing the basic, GUI-independent part of QIRX.
  • dabTII.dll for DAB TII recognition.
• qirx_audio, .net6 V2.2, for AAC audio output. If the folder is omitted, qirx will work but without AAC audio. The qirx_audio project (GPL license) is available on Github.
• RSP3_tcp V0.3.3
• rtl_tcp V0.9.6.3 with gain indication, bandwidth control and BiasT, Sideband suppression calibration
• airspy_tcp V0.14 with BiasT
• Licenses

Performance Remark:
Heiko Vogel optimized the code of the included Viterbi.dll such that the resulting symbol time went down by 30% or even more. This lot means that QIRX might also be able to run on slower machines where before they were too slow. Sadly, this DLL cannot be included in this download, due to licensing reasons, as it uses the GPL-licensed SPIRAL SSE2 code. You might wish to download it from his GitHub repository. You can also follow the discussion in the corresponding rundfunkforum.de thread (in German). Give it a try. It works!
