MagicLink

MagicLink - modern server for SDR frond-end radio devices. Allows remote access to the data stream both on the local network and via the Internet.

To access over the internet, your server must be able to accept an incoming connection. In addition, in guest mode, your server is available to other users.

On the Windows platform, you must configure the firewall to accept incoming UDP packets.

Supported hardware:

  • Airspy HF+ (Only Linux)
  • Airspy R2/mini (Only Linux)
  • SDRplay RSP 1/2 (Only Windows)

Supported platform:

  • Windows x86
  • Linux x86
  • Linux ARM
