Setting up multiple receivers on the same machine - ha7ilm/openwebrx GitHub Wiki

Right now it is only possible to do if multiple instances of OpenWebRX are started simultaneously.

1. First of all, you'll have to make a copy of the openwebrx directory for each separate instance. You will have something like: openwebrx-1, openwebrx-2, openwebrx-3...

2. You will have to make the following changes to each of the receivers:

• web_port should be different in config_webrx.py for each receiver.

• You should adjust the start_rtl_command in config_webrx.py for each receiver. If you have multiple RTL-SDR devices connected to the same computer, you should select which device to use by adding the -d flag. An example:

  start_rtl_command="rtl_sdr -d 0 -s {samp_rate} ...

• You should set different iq_server_port for each receiver in config_webrx.py.

3. Please note the following:

• You can use the same sdr.hu key for all of your receivers.
• Please use a different receiver_name for each of your receivers, otherwise only one item will appear in the list at sdr.hu.
