Easy fuzzyfinder and list sorter to use with SuperSDR

SuperSDR is a lightweight and functional client for using the global network of KiwiSDR and Web-888 receivers. There are about 900 radios available for anyone to use, with with various locations and reception quality. SuperSDR Wrapper works in three modes: selecting receivers (servers), tuning specific stations (bookmarks), and starting the SDR Map (if installed). As a server selector, the script can read a list of SDRs, sort them according to sensitivity, and present the user with a fuzzy-searchable menu of the ones with top rankings. The chosen KiwiSDR or Web-888 SDR opens for streaming in SuperSDR. As a bookmark picker, the script opens an SDR server geographically proximate to a desired station or frequency of interest.

SuperSDR wrapper saves time. Do you really want to bumble around with a long string of command line arguments when you could already be listening to the BBC or Brother Stair?? With this wrapper, you can have a receiver streaming signals to you in seconds.

SuperSDR Wrapper is now able to sort receivers by frequency bands in addition to SNR score, sothere is now a VHF-Airband list (also usable for VHF weather satellite downlinks and ISS communications).

A mode argument must be given: --bookmarks, --servers, --map, or --kill. With no other arguments, the list will be produced in the terminal by fzf:

For a list of KiwiSDR and Web-888 SDR servers:

$ supersdr-wrapper --bookmarks

For a list of airband / Wxsat / 2-meter VHF SDRs:

$ supersdr-wrapper --airband

To see a list of servers in Rofi, use the --gui argument:

$ supersdr-wrapper --servers --gui

To see a map of currently online SDRs, use the --map argument:

$ supersdr-wrapper --map

If SuperSDR freezes or locks up, eliminate the processes with the --kill argument:

$ supersdr-wrapper --kill

To force an update to the SDR data, use the stripper utility:

$ stripper

Python3 Bash Rofi fzf yad dyatlov map maker 

SuperSDR Wrapper requires a minimum of Python3, Yad, and Rofi. Selecting SDR servers on the command line requires fzf. It is suggested to also install the Dyatlov SDR Map maker to plot servers on a map in your web browser. The map maker also keeps an updated list of KiwiSDRs, sourced from their primary server database. Dyatlov includes a server list updater.

An updated list of Web-888 servers is available from this repository; automatic updating is in the works, to be published here in the future.

SuperSDR Wrapper may be launched from your keyboard if you set up proper bindings. Here is example code to launch it using the Simple X Hotkey Daemon (SXHKD):

# Launch SuperSDR Wrapper with Super + s and ctrl / shift / alt keys super + s + {shift,ctrl,alt} {supersdr-wrapper --bookmarks --gui,supersdr-wrapper --servers --gui,supersdr-wrapper --airband --gui} 

Scripts supersdr-wrapper and stripper should be placed in your path and made executable.

Inside the scripts, you must edit the proper paths for the data files and lists. Data wrangling happens in directory kiwidata. Processed data must be written to the file kiwiservers in directory kiwidata or supersdr. You can keep directories supersdr and kiwidata anywhere you want, but be sure to set proper paths in the scripts.
