Portsdown MeteorView

The Portsdown Meteor Viewer uses an SDRplay RSPdx and displays 10 kHz of spectrum in a waterfall. The RSPdx needs to be connected to the Portsdown 4 USB2 (black, not blue) socket. Other models of the SDRplay RSP family of SDRs may work.
Streaming Data to a Central Server
By default the Meteor Viewer displays the waterfall locally; however, it can also stream the IQ data to a central server for display with other streams as seen here: GB3MBA Server.
In this mode, MeteorView does not require a touchscreen display and can run totally headless.
Building an SD Card for Unattended MeteorView Streaming
Using a Raspberry Pi 4 with no screen connected, build a new Portsdown SD Card using the instructions here:
