Satellite Custom Data and Frequency Markers for SDR-Console

Satellite Custom Data XML

In SDR-Console each satellite can have custom frequency data for both up- and downlink. The XML files below are generated from the Amateur Satellite Database project.

This is how to install the XML files for your SDR Console:

  1. From SDR Console, open your local user folder.

  2. Make a backup of all your local files!
  3. Unzip all the files in the SDR_SAT_Custom_data.zip to your user folder. If you already have XML file for a satellite you can choose not to overwrite it.
  4. Restart SDR-Console.
  5. Now all the XML Custom Satellite data files are available the next time you select a satellite.

Note that many satellites needs correction for mode (default RX mode is FM-W and TX mode is FM), filter etc. but this can be a good start and you do not need to manually enter all the data.

Satellite Frequency Markers

This is a Spectrum Markers (Frequency Markers) file over ham radio satellites beacon and downlinks for SDR-Console v3 software.

Import the csv-file into SDR-Console:

  1. In SDR-Console please go to “View” -> “Markers” -> “Marker Configuration”.
  2. Choose to “CSV: Import”.
  3. Activate the markers of your interest, all or some. There can be errors, I have not double-checked all the frequencies.
