SPECTER SDR, the multi-receiver radio desk
A Windows workstation that coordinates up to eight RTL-SDR receivers for spectrum scanning, signal decoding, IQ recording, aircraft tracking, and RF research.
Field notes
SPECTER SDR distributes contiguous frequency ranges or saved channel groups across connected RTL-SDR receivers, preserving per-radio tuning, gain, antenna, squelch, and recording state. Its scanner logs frequency, signal strength, duration, CTCSS tone, and the receiver responsible for a hit, while the broader workstation includes demodulation, IQ capture, ADS-B, audio mixing, and alert evidence. The page states that the array can cover 24–1766 MHz and lists a $199 one-time license.
