It's all about the Software

Hi all,

I'm a new player and just getting started, so I'm sure just like the rest of you when I had my system set up I tried to listen to some FM radio stations.

I'm in the US so I tried looking for stations in the 87.8 to 108.0 MHz range but...

Trying to set the standing current at 1A on this amplifier kit. At about 240mA, the current rises uncontrollably to 8A. Temporarily connecting a diode detector to one of the transistor drains it detects 65v dc - oscillation. I've terminated input...

My favourites icons appear as a line of icons and stars instead of folders in the ribbon bar. How do I rectify this?

Just ran across this little blurb about DC-light receiver:

Some of these features make me envious :).

Just in case @Simon Brown or others have an interest, I came across this a while ago. No idea how useful.

Just very curious...

First we had audio recordings, time-shifting one demodulated channel.
Then we got I-Q recordings, time-shifting a spectrum with variable filters/demodulation.
When do we get coherent multi-RX I-Q files?

Haven't yet seen any...

Maybe nothing really exciting for some of you, but I wanted to share it anyway.
Last night I was able to receive 432 EME signals with an Airspy R2 controlled by SDR Console, feeding WSJT-X with the audio (no I/Q) from SDRC.

Can someone please explain to me the pros and cons of these two interfaces for an SDR?

Reason for question. I have an HL2 (Hermes Lite 2) with LAN interface, and the RX888 (I don't yet own) is supplied with USB 3.0.

I would have thought (from my...

I am running SDR# ver 1740 in Windows 10 and if the program runs for more than a couple of minutes, I cannot exit from it unless I use the task manager to kill the application. This happens on two different computers, both running Windows 10 latest...

I have the latest version of SDR# running but it has an audible readout of settings - every time I change the squelch or bandwidth or volume level I get a voice announcement of the setting. I do not want this but I am totally frustrated trying to...

My sdruno program freezes up every time I transmit. I tried it on 2 different computers and it still freezes up. It's works great when I'm simply listening. I tried every thing to keep it from freezing up. Don't understand the problem. If anyone...

Hi,

I have installed the SDR-Radio V3.0.24, 64-bit, 2020-07-27_0913.exe right now.
But it is not working with my device.
How can I search for the channels?

Thank you.

Hi all.
Long message follows!
I made some comparison on VLF, LF and MF (ITU designations) on
AFERDI NET
RX-888
AirSpy HF+ (2 connector)
and AirSpy HF+ Discovery
on my 135m BOG in 0 deg (due North) direction.
I made 1 1/2 minutes IQ recordings on...

Today's listening has involved my Icom IC-7300. An SDR with knobs. :)

Whilst putting my new PC through it's paces and seeing how far I could 'push' SDR Console I decided to check how sensitive the RDS decoding was by playing back an archived file that includes reception of two FM stations from Azerbaijan. (Previously...

Settings for the SDRPlay RSPdx on HF and the AirSpy R2 on 6 Meters for Optimum Digital Decoding (FT8 and MSK144)
Followed by a comparison of Decoding Performance of each SDR vs my Kenwood TS-590sg

The question has been asked, what settings should I...

Both the 666 and 888 get brief mentions in this months RadioUser mag. Also half a page on the Polish-made Silphase R1. This is an SDR with knobs and a 5” screen, 16bit ADC, DSP, four (!) internal speakers, 1-30MHz. Expected around December, costing...

Quick question I guess for Simon.
When Version 2 was first released and when Version 3 was first released?
Thanks

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...
