HL2, Quisk, and multiple RX setup?

[Julian White]

I've been running my HL2 with Quisk now for several weeks and really liking it. I've only used it as a single RX/TX up to this point though and now I'd like to setup multiple receivers.
The documentation and guides available made basic setup easy, but now as I'm trying to expand on that I'm not finding anything helpful.
I hate asking for help when I really can't even explain the problem, but if I understood the problem I wouldn't have a problem then would I :)
So - I guess with that I only have 2 pointed quiestions.

-Does a guide for multiple Quisk rx setup exist?
-Is Quisk even the solution I'm looking for? Or should I look to something like Thetis or something?
Thanks all!

On the top row of buttons next to the S meter there is a button labelled "Add Rx"  click that and you get another RX.  You can have up to 4 with the standard firmware in Quisk. 

[Julian White]

Well yes. That adds another RX, but then the virtual audio cable from my original rx gets disconnected.
I was under the impression that 4 rx's with independent audio simultaneously was possible.
Did I misunderstand the spec.?

[Ron Lewkowicz]

virtual audio cable?   Are you running Quisk in Windows?

[Julian White]

Yes. I'm running windows.

And have 2 separate VAC's available in my devices.

[Ron Lewkowicz]

I can't help with the windows VAC but I've gone into Quisk and played with multiple RX (not something I've done much of)  and while you can create more than two RX and monitor multiple bands there are only two distinctly separate audio sinks available and to get audio to the second one it must be set to a digital mode.  So, I could get audio from main RX or which ever you select the play button on to the main audio sink and totally distinct audio from a second RX to the Digital RX1 sink if a digital mode was selected for that receiver.  These can then be routed where ever I wish in Linux with Pipewire. In windows it would be some sort of VAC app.

So this is essentially the same as running two receivers in piHPSDR except piHPSDR creates a second audio sink and does not need a digital mode set to send audio from the second RX out.  Thetis I believe also can listen to two RX at the same time.

To utilize all 4 slices at the same time you may need to look at something like openwebRX.  I'm not sure about SparkSDR..... 

[Ron Lewkowicz]

SparkSDR can do it in Linux with Pipewire for sure.  Just need to create enough audio sinks to fill your needs before you start. I tested 3 as I had these already available.  I expect with Windows it would be the same.  Create the needed VACs with your app and then switch the receivers to each as you create them in SparkSDR.  Again, I can't test Windows.

In win10, and using a hermes lite in rx only, I have 4 virtual receivers running in sparksdr (for 40,20,15 &10)  connected via four vac, to 4 instances of rxsstv- and then via four instances of winscp to transfer the pictures to my web server. It's all been running happily together for many months- so yes, it most definitely can be done in windo$e 10.

And I would love to swap it all to linux, but haven't got a clue how to!!

For skimming multiple bands I would also have a look at OpenwebRX+.
