QO100 Live Tune

Rob M0DTS has developed a small application designed to run on a PC that grabs the fft data from the BATC Wideband Spectrum monitor page and allows the user to click on signals which automatically configures Minitioune to the required settings to receive the signal via udp control.

Installing the program

This program requires MiniTiouner 0.8beta9 to work - if you do not have this version, please download it before installing QO100 Live Tune.

A beta release of the QO100 Live Tuneprogram is available for download here File:QO-100 WB Live Tune v0.2b.zip.  Note it is subject to change and you may have to update the program in the future.

Unzip the batch in a directory of your choice and run the program by double clicking the .exe file If running Windows 10, click on more info on the Windows Defender Smart Screen warning and then click Run anyway. (This screen will only appear when you first run the program).

Configuring for the first time

The program will need configuring before use.

• First run MiniTiouner version .9x as normal and copy your Oscar 100 LNB offset to the clipboard.

• Now click on the settings tab in the Live Tune program:

• Paste your MiniTiouner LNB offset in to the LNB offset box and confirm all other setiings are correct - if you have not changed your MiniTiouner external control settings you do not need to change the IP address or port settings.

• Click "Add New Receiver" and the details should appear in the receiver list.

• Click the display tab and then click connect.

Using the program

Having clicked "Connect" the program will display the QO100 spectrum display:

Simply click on the signal you wish to view - the signal parameters will appear in the MiniTiouner "Extern, Request" box:

After a short delay MiniTiouner will receive and decode the selected station - simple as that!!
