Install problems / SDRplay receivers Soapy comman...
Last post by Bas ON5HB - 18 Jan 2026, 17:13
Hi all,

I have been fighting with the SDRplay receivers to get e.g. rf-notch disabled, enabled by default.
Well, you have to name the key and option, like this:

    {
      "id": "rx3",
      "input": {
        "accelerator": "clfft",
        "audio_compression": "adpcm",
        "audio_sps": 12000,
        "brightness_offset": -3,
        "defaults": {
          "frequency": 648000,
          "modulation": "AM",
          "squelch_enabled": false
        },
        "driver": {
          "channel": 0,
          "device": "driver=sdrplay, label=SDRplay Dev0 RSP1A 1807098293, serial=1807098293",
          "format": "cs16",
          "gain": 35.0,
          "kind": "soapysdr",
          "settings": {
            "rfnotch_ctrl": "false"
          }
        },
        "fft_size": 131072,
        "frequency": 1024000,
        "signal": "iq",
        "smeter_offset": -30,
        "sps": 2048000,
        "waterfall_compression": "zstd",
        "waterfall_size": 2048
      },
      "name": "SDRplay RSP1A (LW-MW)"
    }


See below, else it will not work. Don't tell me why.

Have you tried just pulling a new copy and seeing what happens after you set it back up? One other time, I had some issue, and that that per this document and that fixed what was wrong with my setup.

That happened to me and I believe Steven had me run this to fix it.

git submodule update --init --recursive

And I believe you run that from the frontend folder.

Then recompile the frontend.

If you want to control gain, agc etc:

{
        "id": "rx4",
        "name": "RTL (2M 144-146 MHz)",
        "input": {
                "sps": 2048000,
                "frequency": 145000000,
                "signal": "iq",
                "fft_size": 131072,
                "fft_threads": 1,
                "brightness_offset": -6,
                "audio_sps": 12000,
                "waterfall_size": 2048,
                "waterfall_compression": "zstd",
                "audio_compression": "flac",
                "accelerator": "clfft",
                "smeter_offset": -40,
                "driver": {"kind": "soapysdr","device": "serial=00000001","channel": 0,"format": "cf32","gain": 44,"agc": false},
                "defaults": { "frequency": 145787500, "modulation": "FM" }
                }
        },


See here, works also for other Soapy receivers.

Changelogs / NovaSDR Release: 0.3.0 / 0.3.1
Last post by magicint1337 - 13 Jan 2026, 21:45
NovaSDR 0.3.0 + 0.3.1 Released

0.3.0 - New: Operator "About this receiver" header panel You can now enable an optional expandable section in the header with operator-provided information. It's driven by an overlay file so it's easy to edit without touching the core config.

  • Header panel overlay via config/overlays/header_panel.json (auto-created, disabled by default)
  • Manual content using items[] (label/value rows you control)
  • Optional donation button using donation_enabled
  • Optional widgets (toggleable): HAMQSL solar-terrestrial + Blitzortung lightning map
  • Optional lookups (toggleable): QRZ callsign, MWLIST frequency, short-wave.info frequency
  • Wizard support: the setup wizard can configure the overlay and related options

0.3.0 - New: Reverse proxy port for SDR lists If you're behind a reverse proxy and the public port differs from server.port, you can now set:

  • websdr.public_port to advertise the correct port to SDR lists

0.3.0 - Compatibility and auto-migration Older configs remain compatible, and NovaSDR will help keep them current:

  • Legacy server.html_root: "html/" is migrated to "frontend/dist/"
  • Missing websdr.public_port is auto-added as null

0.3.1 - Polish: Header panel layout improvements 0.3.1 is focused on refinement and usability:

  • Cleaner spacing and typography for the expanded header panel
  • Better mobile responsiveness (fixes overflow in callsign/frequency rows)
  • More consistent widget/image placement to avoid awkward empty space

Quick note on images Place images inside the UI directory (server.html_root, usually frontend/dist/) and reference them by filename in config/overlays/header_panel.json. Example: if the file is frontend/dist/test.png, use "test.png" in the overlay.

Thanks for testing If anything looks off on a specific phone/tablet/browser, post a screenshot and your header_panel.json (feel free to redact URLs).
