Re: Noise squelch for FM modes

Been another 7 months & still nothing. Also seems to me like SDRC development is slowing down? I already got rid of my RSP1a because of lack of adequate software to use with it (SDRuno is a joke). I've been holding on to my RX-888 in the hopes I can use it someday with SDRC but not with amplitud...

Re: V3.2 Release Notes

Same issue as always: defective squelch on NFM. Have to turn it up so high to keep it closed on a dead channel that 20 dB quieting signals won't keep it open.

Re: Noise squelch for FM modes

Been 6 months & haven't seen any updates that address the amplitude squelch problem. Might this be looked into anytime soon?

Re: Noise squelch for FM modes

I've just reminded myself of the current squelch - it's energy-based. I find it works fine with ham FM on simplex / repeaters. The SSB voice-based is good, so as I wrote before this could be used. To test I need your IQ files. ZIP file containing IQ WAV file with single carrier turned off & on ...

XO retrofit with TCXO?

The #1 thing that annoys me about my RX-888 is the reference oscillator: it is far more drifty than any of my other SDRs. Has anyone thought about swapping out the 27 MHz reference for something a little more stable? Digi-Key has some 0.5 ppm 27 MHz TCXOs as cheap as $2 in single quantities, but I d...

Re: Noise squelch for FM modes

Well, all I can say is if amplitude-based squelch is so good why do all analog NBFM receivers use noise squelch? I personally find energy-based squelch unusable: even when setting it to a level that requires ~20 dB quieting it still pops open on occasion. While piping the output to KG-Tone is a solu...

Re: Noise squelch for FM modes

It's been almost 9 months since I posted this request. Just wondering if it's something that's in the queue or not.

Re: AM reception problem

Thanks Kriss. I knew it had to be something simple but I couldn't find it, maybe because I use FM 98% of the time. I also missed the manual gain slider that's present when AGC is off; adjusting that fixes it too.

AM reception problem

Having problems with AM & SSB reception with an RSP-1a whenever I reduce the RF gain below 6: very distorted or no audio. It sounds just like a biasing problem with an op amp when the DC bias point shifts toward one of the supply rails. Everything looks normal to me in the screen shot. I have th...
