Re: Anybody has the ADSB# Plugin and Audio Waterfall Plugin for SDR# 1361?

Yes, ADSBSharp is there, and it works with RTLSDR/820T dongles. But how do you get it to display a text or graphic output?

Re: Frequency Error?

Thanks for pointing out the Frequency Trim function. I set mine to +5, and the CARRIER is bang on 7850 kHz. But the MODULATION is still off to the right. I looked it up on Wikipedia: "CHU transmits 3 kW signals on 3330 and 14670 kHz, and a 10 kW signal on 7850 kHz.[2] These are nonstandard time sign...

Frequency Error?

I finally connected a longish wire as an indoor antenna, and was pleased to be able to pick up a known signal on 40 meters. But I'm wondering if there is a frequency error of about 1.5 kHz from 7850.0 kHz, or am I just seeing a single sideband modulation, 1500 Hz audio? Is there any way of correctin...

FM "ghost" signals on UHF

Local FM stations (88-108 MHz) booming in on the UHF band around 330 MHz. Third harmonic?

This doesn't happen with my RTL-SDR.

Can anybody explain this, suggest how to avoid this?

Re: SW Recommendation(s) for Newbie

Hey, I used to be a newbie. In fact, I still am. For me, the easiest SDR program to use is still SDR Sharp v1361, with the SDRPlay EXTIO library. You will find it by searching these forums. Later versions of SDR Sharp have been crippled by the developer. To me, the user interfaces of HDSDR and SDR C...

Re: Feeling lost - no documentation or tutorial

Thanks for that tutorial, @SDRPlay Tech Support. I feel less lost, now. I might even dare to press the Advanced Settings button and play with the Block Upconverter!

I suggest you publish a White Paper with more of the details of the RSP architecture.

Feeling lost - no documentation or tutorial

I've been struggling with my RSP for about a month now, and I still don't know how to use its settings. The settings consist of a cute block diagram with sliders and drop-down selectors, but I have no idea what they do or what the acronyms mean. For example, what is meant by "Low IF" and "Zero IF"? ...
