It's all about the Software

Hi, Thanks for reply. That explains it. But, does that mean Console will "only" talk to my Icom R8600 with the radio in USB ? What do I do if I want to use Console and the radio, but I want, or need, AM or fm, or... ? Thanks again, Bob Hi again Bob No, don't worry. When using the R8600 co...

Hello Bob Please see here: https://www.sdr-radio.com/icom-r8600 In particular it states: "While in the I/Q mode, the mode is fixed to “USB,” and “AGC” is forcibly turned OFF. R8600 frequency shows the center frequency (same as SDR Console), not the current VFO frequency." So no, if it's in...

All up and running.

In Console I try to open a definition. SDRPlay is in the list but it just has V2 and V3. Any ideas? Hugh M0ACF This is correct. V3 and V2 refer to the API version. Just select V3. It will then say SDR Play API running (or some such). Press "OK". It then says "1 device found". Pr...

You might also want to take a look at this thread, and the referenced ARRL document about safe distances for RF exposure versus power input. https://www.reddit.com/r/amateurradio/comments/197z79n/mag_loop_rf_radiation_safetly/ Also just to reiterate the high voltages you may well generate on the loo...

I do have a couple of older Receiver Guard 2000 M's plugged into 2 RSPdx antenna inputs. Not sure how trustworthy they might be. The Win4Icom rig control app that I use also has a Spot utility I'm currently trying to figure out. It uses Club Spot.net. Win's Spectrum Scope is more basic than ADR Con...

I have 2 (or more) options to view active frequencies: 1) Use a second, broadband, loop antenna on my RSPdx for RX, along with sufficient protection on antenna inputs since I don't have adequate space to sufficiently separate the TX and RX antennas. Any filter/suppressor suggestions? 2) Rely on Spo...

Just texted me with other devices that were off line with the breaker off. Turns out it was his house server (computer) that was causing it. Water treatment center, gigabit switch and server were on that breaker (go figure). When he turned it back on I got the following attched image... Says he's g...

I will be soon receiving an MFJ TX/RX mag loop antenna. I understand it has a VERY narrow band in both transmit and receive. For those who have used this or similar narrow band loop, what has been your experience using that antenna with the SDR Console (or any) panadapter? What are the good and les...

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. Now waiting for the northern light again, quite the display last night! 8-) Good news that you found it. Now for the resolution (hopefu...
