+- Set up to talk to your SDR of choice.
+- Up top, look for settings icon.
+    - Make sure RX port set to 7356
+- Up top, make sure little 'Remote control via TCP' icon is selected (2 computers icon)
+- In receiver options tab (on the right) set Mode to USB
+- Drag passband indication abover waterfall so filter width is maybe 30 kHz wide.
+- Bottom right, click ... 
+  - Network tab, set UDP port to 7355, hostname to localhost
+- I'd also suggest setting the 'main' audio output to a dummy audio device, you don't want to hear the modem signal really.
+- Click 'UDP' to have it start sending samples out via UDP port.
+
+# Gpredict
+- Set up as normal, update keps, set location, add lilacsat-1
+- Edit -> Preferences -> Interfaces
+  - Add new interface, radio type RX Only
+  - Set port to 7356, hostname of localhost
+- Back on gpredict main window, top right look for down arrow, go to Radio control
+  - Choose LilacSat-1 in target dropdown
+  - Set downlink freequency to 436.499.000 Hz
+  - Choose gqrx from radio list, set cycle to 5000,
+  - Click 'engage' then click 'track'
+  - You should now see gqrx's frequency adjusting every 5 seconds.
