It's all about the Software

Love it! The map display is more beautiful and useful now.

This is a request that I'm sure other medium wave DXers will appreciate, or those with other interests who follow weak carriers before they hopefully strengthen into audio. I love the detail and resolution that SDR-Console provides in the waterfall but I find myself wishing I could make the dotted (...

During the 1990s I worked for a leading manufacture of NDT equipment used for the inspection of pressure tubing found in nuclear powerplants and nuclear powered subs & aircraft carriers. Some of the higher end data analysis devices presented the tubing defects data as a 3D waterfall display, whi...

The Jaguar software aimed squarely at medium wave DXers has this highly useful ability. You can simply click ahead (or back) to a previous day's recording on the same frequency, same time. I also think (but not positive) you can navigate the same way for a user-specified period of time (such as XX n...

USB3.0 port of PC will be OK ，The USB cable included with RX888 is of good quality Not that it matters much, but my RX-888 from Ebay seller "Shenglongsi" did not include a USB cable, just the SDR and nothing else. I was one of the first purchasers, so maybe the cable is included with more...

The wide bandwidth of this new SDR will be very useful! I plan to use my RX888 to capture a handful of shortwave broadcast bands for a few minutes at "top of the hour" and "bottom of the hour" along with medium wave on my DXpeditions. No longer will I need to operate two SDRs and...

In my recent article in the SWLing Post, I wrote: I received my new RX888 SDR receiver today, via DHL shipping in only seven days from ordering on Ebay from seller “shenglongsi”. I’ve noticed that some Chinese Ebay sellers use a placeholder shipping number when choosing the DHL carrier, and then som...

I was curious to learn how hot the RX-888 would get after an hour of continuous 32 MHz bandwidth operation, so today I did before and after measurements of the outer case. My upstairs office was quite sunny and warm today, and the ambient temperature of the RX-888 in this setting was 31.4 C. / 88.5 ...

I know little about the inner workings of SDRs, but there is obviously more than number of bits at work determining the dynamic range/ultimate rejection of one 16-bit SDR versus another. My FDM-S2 and RX-888 are both 16-bit units, but I have found that the RX-888 can dig out very weak audio at times...

I replied separately to Bjarne, but for those others interested I'll mention here that my RX-888 has *no* issues with failing to connect with the receiver after computer reboots. I have not had to unplug & replug the USB cable, as Bjarne unfortunately has had to do. Mine has worked flawlessly in...
