Simultaneous Multi-Band FT8 Receive

My massively overloaded i7 CPU, running at about 75% on all 8 threads.

The availability and performance of Software Defined Radios (SDRs) today is incredible. Equally incredible is how poorly us Hams make use of the capabilities at our disposal.

A single HackRF One can simultaneously receive a 20MHz wide slice of spectrum anywhere from 1MHz to 6GHz. That means that a single device can simultaneously receive every amateur band from 20 meters to 10 meters or from 160 meters all the way to 15 meters!

In this post I’ll show you how to receive and decode FT8 on multiple bands simultaneously. These techniques can be expanded to receive WSPR, JT9, and every other digital mode in the received bands. Your CPU is the limit.
