Set-Up and Install the W3USR WSPRDaemon System

[w2naf]

Description

Set up and install a working WSPRDaemon system at the W3USR station. This is the critical first step for the DXDashboard project — without a running PSWS receiver feeding data into MongoDB, the dashboard has no data source to work with.

Tasks

• Install and configure RX-888 SDR hardware
• Install and configure KA9Q-radio software
• Install and configure WSPRDaemon for WSPR/FT8/FT4 decoding

Acceptance Criteria

• WSPRDaemon is running and actively decoding WSPR, FT8, and FT4 spots on all HF bands
• System is stable and running continuously

Due Date

2026-02-09

Known Issues so far:

• "Band" is broken on the spots, meaning band filtering no longer works (Fixed)
