SDR Spectrum Companion
Simple spectrum analysis software for PlutoSDR/HackRF users
- Problem
- PlutoSDR and HackRF users want spectrum analysis, but professional spectrum analyzers are expensive, and existing open-source software is complex to configure and slow to sweep, lacking optimizations for low-cost SDRs.
- Solution
- Provide one-click configuration sweep software that leverages fastlock and other techniques for rapid full-band scanning, supports waterfall plots and peak detection, and exports results as reports.
- Users
- Radio enthusiasts, RF engineers, students
- MVP
- Support basic sweeping for PlutoSDR and HackRF; real-time spectrum and waterfall display; peak markers and frequency readout; export CSV/image reports.
- Revenue
- Free basic version; paid unlocks advanced features (multi-device sync, automation scripts, report templates).
- Why now
- SDR hardware prices are falling and the hobbyist community is active; indie developers can quickly wrap existing open-source libraries into an easy-to-use tool.
