It's all about the Software

Trying to understand how bit resolution translates to maximum observable dynamic range in the spectrum display.

I thought that, given no decimation or other tricks , maximum dynamic range is 20*log(2^(# of bits)) dB. So for an 8 bit RTL SDR the...

[Copied from groups.io, as it wasn't answered there. Link to groups.io thread ]

It would be more convenient to have a bar that you can drag to change the Low ang High settings of the spectrum display at the same time - just like the one for...

Had a wierd one today.

Took my recieving station completely apart as part of a reorganisation here.. when I put it back together, on testing MY HF+ (I have two) I found that performance was degraded and I only had the original number of bandwidths...

I am aware that there is/was a USB based board that is recognized by sdr-console. however it would be great if there was a way to customize it for other devices. it could be implemented as a simple HTTP/GET to an address with a query such as...

Hi Simon,
i am using SDR Console 3.0.24 64Bit on Win10 and HermesLite2 or with RSP1A
The Noise reduction NR3 seems not to work like in 3.0.23.
When i am activating NR3 in 3.0.24 the major noise floor seems not to be reduced. It sounds like the...

Just came across this on the official SDRplay group.
It is a method of USB connection across LAN or WAN.
It opens up possibilities of using SDR devices from a remote machine as if they were local USB devices, where at the moment only TCP/IP is...

Hi, Simon - in the Analyser, the number of lines vs. time seems to be limited:
* max. 20'000
This limits the max. time resolution of one millisecond to 20 seconds.
If you have longer pieces, the resolotuin is automatically reduced to a matching...

Hi Simon,

what I would like to see is a simple way in SDR-Console to enter DX-Cluster spots.

What about the following:

SDR-Console already knows the frequency and the mode a respective receiver is tuned to.
Add a button which opens a window where...

There have been some very major changes behind the scenes with 3.0.25:
Moved from Visual Studio 2013 to 2019
Using latest FFT library from Intel
Precompiled header file reduced in size
Although everything appears to be OK I'm sitting on this...

I've just fixed a bug - the greyline shade value was not being properly applied when restarting the program.

So it's now 3.0.11 - no kit for now...

The ELAD library loads the ExtIOmc DLL using the default Windows search path using the LoadLibrary function. Sometimes this isn't always as reliable as it should be as the search path can be altered using the SetDllDirectory function, so the code...

A user noticed that the Signal History window used too much CPU when in a Slower or Very Slow setting. Some detective work turned up lazy coding, as a result of today's endeavours the CPU load is now greatly reduced.

HI
Can the definitions in the TX window associated with a specific RX window
(in addition to mode and frequency)
IE : source, processing, gains, squelch etc...
Makes moving from SSB audio to digital modes much simpler.
TIA

Hi,

Please help me by posting in these forums when you have questions or problems. When possible select an appropriate forum, if not sure just post here and the post will be moved and renamed as necessary.

Add TCP support (currently only UDP).

Timestamps in the waterfall are wrong if the server is in a different timezone.

Allow remote server owner to take the server offline and have a custom text displayed when the user tries to connect.

I finally found a serious bug courtesy of Robin, G3TKF.

In the attachment you see there's no visible / spectrum at all - no spectrum resulted in part of the UI not initialising before data arrived and the logic went AWOL. Nice catch, now fixed in...

Checking the board with a simple account.

The dog wanted to go for a walk at 03:30 so I started work shortly thereafter.

Just had a user sending corrupted CAT commands which set the RX frequency to 0 Hz or even worse less than 0 Hz! So I've added even more sanity checks.
