I can only choose the onboard soundcard, which I will not be using. I've tried this for a time, but I cannot get it to work.
Does anybody have some knowledge about this?
I've read in another forum that the OP2 SDR VHF app will be extended with SDR-HF, but I don't see the option yet when configuring the app.
I really want to use weatherfax badly, but I do not want to manually use GPRX or any other recording software. The weatherfax schudule option is just too good and easy to use.
Hope someone can help!
Had a play a while ago, can't remember if I had the opencpn plugin working but istr it was much more successful recording the audio direct to a file then decooding that. Think I used sox to record & set the audio file to a format the opencpn plugin of jvcomm on a laptop could decode.

Might be a job for node-red?
What RTL dongle do you have? Can it tune as low as 8MHZ to receive the fax broadcasts?
