SDR – Software Defined Receivers
Our own line of SDR receivers and related hardware — from EchoTracer and OctaLoop systems to RTL-based sticks — all optimized for ham radio use and remote listening setups. Explore our full antenna lineup here: https://shop.rf.guru/collections/active-rx-antennas
Live SDR Spots Map
Our live SDR spots map shows real-time “spots” detected by each active antenna at each site. Every colored marker is a signal heard at that moment, across multiple bands, updating continuously. It also gives you a historical view and filtering tools on PSKReporter, making it perfect for analyzing openings over time.
Use the built-in history controls (time range, band filters, antenna,, etc.) to dig into past openings and compare conditions across antennas.
Aggregated View (All Receiving Antennas Combined)
If you want the “big picture” instead of a per-antenna view, use our aggregated PSKReporter feed. This combines reception across our active RX antennas into one consolidated view, so you can quickly see what our network hears overall (across bands, paths, and openings).
This aggregated view only publishes a spot when it was the best SNR observed across our different receive antennas for that signal.
Lombardsijde
The Lombardsijde Listening Station
This location is far from ideal—situated in an urban recreational park at -2m ASL, with heavy QRM from LED floodlights and height restrictions keeping most antennas too low (except the TerraBooster). Yet, we’re achieving excellent results, proving that good listening antennas work even in challenging environments!

If a status shows “Offline”, we may be doing antenna/SDR maintenance — please check back later.
Tip: Use sdrspots.rf.guru for real-time per-site/per-antenna “what’s happening now”, and the OR7F aggregated PSKReporter map for the overall reception footprint and historical data analysis.
Merchtem
This location serves as our development site and is currently undergoing reconstruction. We aim to have everything completed and operational by spring of 2026.
Satellite Decoding: TinyGS
Heure
This will be an ideal location, as we can position the antennas far away from human activity. We anticipate this site will be fully operational by the end of 2027.
