[hpsdr] Multiple Rx instances on HPSDR

[dave powis]

Hi all,

I'm looking for a monitoring solution that will allow multiple independent Rx's to run on one piece of SDR hardware.  The descriptions for the HPSDR Mercury Rx and Hermes Tcvr seem to indicate that they can indeed operate up to 8 independent Rx's off a single common antenna input.  This will suit my application ideally.

However, what is not clear from the hardware descriptions is what the software requirements and PC limitations are.  
What SDR apps will allow up to 8Rx's to be configured?  
Or is it a case of running multiuple instances of the same SDR software simultaneously - eg PowerSDR?
Are there any recommendations for the PC performance required to support this?


Thanks for any help in answering these questions!

73,
Dave, G4HUP
