Re: Anyone tried mobile use?

I really had not previously considered a Windows tablet, but it sounds like I should. I appreciate the advice, so I'll be scouting for one. I had hesitated on making that suggestion, since you had laid out your plans for the mobile station with an Android tablet. I just like having more options for...

Re: CPU overload

I am using HDSDR on a WIN 7 computer. at times the waterfall stops scrolling up, and the audio stutters. It sounds like "Max Headroom". Y-Y-Y-e-e-e-s-s-s ugh ugh ugh When this happens the CPU bar at the bottom of the screen says something like: CPU HDSDR 63% CPU TOTAL 100% and the CPU TOTAL bar is ...

Re: SDRPlay for satellite operation

I would like to use SDRPlay for satellite operation. <snip> Depending on the satellite the IC910H will be transmitting in VHF and SDRPlay receiving on UHF and viceversa. There is a big "frequency gap" between VHF and UHF and SDRPlay will never been receiving on the same band as the radio will trans...

Re: USB Cable Adapter for Tablets

Hi! When I connect my SDRplay to a tablet with a micro USB socket, I usually go with two cables. One is the cable I normally use with printers, and then I plug that into a USB On-The-Go cable that plugs into the tablet's micro USB socket. This works well for me with my Win10 tablets, but these table...

Re: New Native plug-in for SDR# - "big" image problem

So there you have it. It is extremely disappointing that a whole community of people have worked with the sdr# team from the time they first started to develop the program - way before airspy became available - only to be cut off at the knees so to speak for whatever reason. Maybe they need to get ...

Re: New user....

Hi Everyone, I just ordered an SDRPlay mostly to use as a travel companion whilst I am away from home. As I am mostly an Apple user nowadays and only take an IPad I'll probably have to pack some sort of Windows computer with me unless some bright spark has come up with an IOS application. I was won...
