Re: Install Question

Thanks - I got it working.
Is there a link that describes how to integrate the SWL database that is written by the person in Germany? Will SDRuno import it directly, or is some sort of interface software required? I'm thinking, the later is going to be required.

Re: How does SDRplay hold up in city enviornments?

So I received my SDRplay and I'm quite surprised. The local BCB station on 770 khz (50 kw 1.5 km away) does not seem t be having any major impact on the SDRplay.

Above BCB, again, absolutely no problems. However, it is a $5000 radio! I wanted the SDRplay mainly for listening above 60 mhz, to mak...

How does SDRplay hold up in city enviornments?

I'm ure this question has been asked, many times, but in consideration of the latest improvements I'd like to ask again. I currently own a Flex 6500 SDR radio. I'm not expecting the SDRplay to be as good. I live in a relatively high RF area, about 2 km from a 50KW broadcast station on 770 khz. I'm t...
