VE3NEA released SkyRoof, a Windows application that combines satellite tracking with SDR receiver functionality. The software supports RTL-SDR, Airspy, and SDRplay devices for tracking ham radio satellites in real time. It features pass prediction, skymap visualization, waterfall display, and automatic doppler compensation for SSB/CW/FM demodulation. The program also interfaces with hamlib-compatible antenna rotators and requires a callsign and grid square to operate.
