All Windows, Arranged

It quickly gets to be a pain opening and moving all these windows around every time you start the program, so it’s good to save the layout. This can be done from the Main window, down at the bottom-right where it says, “Default Workspace.” In the picture above, mine says “Brian’s Workspace.” Left-click in it, then type in whatever you want to name it. Then hold down the CTRL key and click it again, this time choosing which “slot” you want to save in. It’s a little non-intuitive, but once you’ve got it, it will save you time later.

Once you have the windows open and arranged how you like, it’s time to turn it all on. Click the “Play!” button in the Main window if you haven’t already. You’ll probably hear static, so adjust the volume in your speakers or headset so it’s not too loud or uncomfortable.

You can hook the SDRplay up to most any kind of antenna and receive signals from the appropriate frequencies by choosing an amateur radio band by clicking on the “keypad” on the right side of the RX Control window.

For now, let’s focus on broadcast FM radio stations for a moment, because they’re nearly everywhere and easy to find strong signals. In the RX Control window, the frequency appears near the top.

You can change the frequency by pointing at the individual digits and using the mouse wheel to move the values of individual digits up and down. It seems slow until you get used to it, but the more you do it, the easier it gets. In my example screenshots, I have tuned to a local music station, 107.7 FM:
