It's all about the Software

Is there anything worth looking at that would help as a tutorial on I/Q files as generated by SDR Console (and SDR software in general)? After looking at some sites, I'm clear on the idea that I/Q data consists of complex numbers representing a signal's amplitude and phase. But I haven't as yet foun...

Actually I have a fix, thanks to great help from DR53. On his suggestion, I downloaded the binary editor HxD and used it to locate the string "R.a.d.i.o.C.e.n.t.e.r.F.r.e.q.=.2.7.0.0.0." in one .wav file, then changed the value to "2.7.5.1.3.0.". The file now shows correct freque...

Thanks, they're not going anywhere. I see that when I open one of the .wav files in PskovNDB (NDB decoder software), it displays a file header which shows a center frequency of 270000 Hz and a sample rate of 550260 -- the latter being the same as what SDR Console identifies as the recording bandwidt...

Thanks, Simon. I don't know much of anything about how I/Q .wav files are structured. My overnight recording for the date with the frequency error is divided into 88 .wav files, each just under 1 GB in size. If I wanted to try to repair them, is there something like a starting frequency appearing in...

Recently I did field recordings over three nights with an Airspy HF+ Discovery and SDR Console v3.0.24 to capture non-directional beacons in the <500 kHz spectrum. The first two nights, the bandwidth for the radio and recording were both set to 384 kHz, centered on 365 kHz. Everything appeared norma...

This will allow you to move and dock the panes.

Interesting tip, I didn't know that was there. I'll have to play around with it. Thanks!

Pause the playback, then resume it so that the clock is in sync with the recording in terms of seconds. Thanks, Jim, great idea and much simpler than messing with the PC clock. I'm now getting a steady stream of decodes. I do see they show a time differential of 2.8 to 3.7 seconds -- even though I ...

I have an I/Q recording of the <500 kHz spectrum that I made overnight with SDR Console x3.0.25. software. When I play back the .wav files within SDR Console, I can see digital signals in the waterfall in the 630m ham band. I'm now wondering if I can use WSJT-X to decode these signals. I can play ba...

Never mind my last question -- after some searching I found the procedure (right-click on the top light-blue bar of the receive pane, select "Dock"). Problem solved!

Thanks again for the help.

Thanks, Barry. Here's a screen shot. You might notice that the edge of the analog dBm meter is barely visible on the right edge of the Receive pane. What step or steps are required to dock the Receive pane, apart from just dragging it to the desired position? receive-pane-overlaying-spectrum-and-wat...
