It's all about the Software

Actually John your noise situation looks pretty good. You seem to have a basic background noise around S2-S3 (though gain settings and meaningful S point readings can be tricky with SDR Play receivers). But overall it looks good. Here in the UK many people in urban areas complain of S8++ constant no...

So Simon....... (Mag Loop Simon that is) I think I may be getting a small idea of what is going on (or part of it). I think it may be related to an issue I have with changing frequency using the keyboard arrow (cursor) keys. I don't use mouse scroll wheel. In fact I don't even have a mouse, but bear...

Hi John Difficult one. Screenshots always help and receiver (hardware) details, antenna, location etc etc. I guess you have a high noise level where you are? Although, to be honest HF is always noisy to some degree, is it not? Of all the NRs on SDRC I personally find the most effective with the leas...

Hi John

Sounds to me like you might have one of the Noise Reduction settings selected in error in the RX DSP panel. It' a possibility anyway. See attached pic. If any on, try all off.

I've got two of these. They are excellent and very RF quiet, which is why I bought a second one: https://www.cyberpower.com/global/en/product/sku/cp1500epfclcd Saw it recommended on some radio forum (sorry can't remember where) and it has not disappointed, for me using mostly HF frequencies at any r...

Hi Glenn I don't have R2/Spyverter but according to this YouTube video it's in the usually expected place on Home tab of the Ribbon Bar? See button top left about 1/4 way along ribbon bar in "Radio" section (play video full screen to see). Also see attached picture. Assume it's still there...

Hi Bob At risk of sounding repetitive (I've mentioned it in quite a few interference threads) I had something very similar, at about same frequency, and it turned out to be my UPS sitting right in under the computer desk. I had not really suspected that even though I had done tracking exercises befo...

Not sure what is considered reasonable but I have a 10 years old plus i7 desktop PC and just ran it with one receiver. I am seeing CPU load around 0.8%. GPU 3.5%. Audio around 20 ms. HOWEVER I do have GTX 1650 Super GPU (excellent - highly recommended) enabled for CUDA. At the very least I would get...
