Is the scanner connected to the same computer as the RSP?
When does scanning go wrong? When the RSP is just plugged to the USB or when SDRuno is running and receiving?

Paul, with a power consumption of 100 ... 150 mA nothing should overheat. Either you have a (sporadic or permanent) short circuit or an interruption on the power supply line somewhere or there is indeed something wrong in the whip. Do you have an Amp/Ohm/Voltmeter to make measurements on the equipme...

Heinrich - I've just checked the noise on the Antenna B input with the bias-T enabled/disabled. I can detect nothing, even with the scope on 5mV with a x1 probe. Clean as a whistle. Of course, this may just mean my particular laptop is clean! OK, that's better than the Funcube. I just fetched my Fu...

A question in this context (I do not own an RSP2): Is the bias T voltage of the RSP2 "clean"? I have a Funcube pro+ and it's bias T is a horror. It can only (if ever) be used for VHF and above. Below is carries extreme USB noise and noise from the 5 V USB line. I have applied extra SMD caps on the 5...

I think what Juha wanted to say is that they shoud have provided low pass filters behind the LO. My opinion: When someone expects high standards of a spectrum analyzer or monitoring receiver shouldn't he go better for a Rhode & Schwarz FSW8/FSW13 https://www.rohde-schwarz.com/us/product/fsw-products...

When you only have room for 3 m poles you should inform yourselves about EWE antennas. There are many sources on the web, this one I just picked by chance: http://www.radiodx.com/articles/technical/antennas/it-had-to-be-ewe/ But EWEs are directional and work best for MW and lower SW bands. Have you ...

Can you please share some details? 1. height of metallic pole : 8 metres, base connected to ground rods, coaxial cable also grounded at the foot of the mast 2. height of wooden pole: appr. 14 m (a tree ;-) ) 3. turns and core for the two 1:1 balun: Appr. 30 turns of RG 178 coax. cable on an FT 140-...

That's always the same story. Some virus scanners do a superficial job and are programmed sloppy. Indeed currently 6 anti-virus engines rate SDRplay_HDSDR_Installer_2.76_2.exe as an evil software. This is about the same hit rate as for software 4.1 for the well known Perseus SDR. The superficial "jo...

When reading your message I was totally confused which "wires" you did connect to what. But I try to visualize what you did. 1) What is the balun doing that suppresses BC AM overload? When your balun (which is in fact an unun for a longwire) suppresses overload it must be connected wrong. A properly...

This PS was a short time ago sold here in Germany under the label "Voltcraft". This Chinese PS has various names around the world. The term "linear adjustable" is misleading. It is a switched PS! In this German blog someone has dismantled the unit. It is not necessary to understand German. A look at...
