It's all about the Software

Well, in the interest of safety, I mentioned I had previously located a bad wire splice that was hidden in the wall cavity of a house... preventing a house fire. Long story short, a friend called me up and said he would lose TV signals when pointed his rotatable TV antenna at his neighbors house (pr...

Years ago, I briefly used my DIY 1m passive loop with a tuning cap on the larger of the two loops (looks like Icom AL-705). With its narrow bandwidth, open your SDR at max bandwidth on the desired band, and while watching the screen, turn the capacitor. You will see what looks like a wave, a narrow ...

Well, spent an hour with the home owner! Circuit breaker for outdoor outlets (as labeled) killed the noise. Upon lot's of poking around in garage, it's something to do with a home automation system. Uses the house wiring to control modules throughout house. Using the you loop antenna and Airspy, I m...

I got it nailed down to a specific house, will try and stop by Sunday when they're home. The house is 0.2miles to the WSW of me, and all lines plotted point to it. Will take my FT-817 on internal batteries and my sniffer antenna as well as the Youloop just to be sure. I just did a drive by at 20:00 ...

I have the same issue at my lake condo. The ISP provides a modem to go from coax to Ethernet, but I bought a router from Walmart (not sure of manufacture and model number). I cannot access my own equipment from within the LAN. I have a remote IC-7300 on Remotehams.com's RCForb software and an Airspy...

Laptop, SDR, and Youloop was a bust, but must have made the neighbors think I was off my medication though!
Will have to pull out the 1m active loop and see if it will hear it. Just a bit of a pain in the arse with all the cables, battery for pre-amp, etc.

Joanne,
I have the same issue with my remote Icom 7300's, and 7100's. All are open to the public for RX (remotehams.com's RCForb Servers), but TX is registered users only. I was in the middle of a QSO when some dipshit spun the VFO on me... 2X. Apparently some do not listen before acting.

Sounds like a firewall issue at your friends router if all five PC's cannot connect. Drop the firewall in the router, or lower the securty level and see what happens.

This QRM appeared within the last few days on all my servers at the QTH, worst is on Super Station #2, which was my best system. :evil: Starts at 1800kHz to about 2900kHz and again at 4050kHz to 4750kHz. Heading out with the Youloop and AirspyHF+ to track it down or at least get a bearing on it now....
