Operator error??
Posted: Tue Jan 03, 2017 4:34 am
First, I am BRAND new to SDR...but not to radio, been an amateur radio operator since 1978.
Have the RSP2 running WIN 7 on Pent 2.5 GHZ 8GB RAM
First loaded the SDRuno 1.12 on 26 DEC 2016. I was (am) having high noise on the unit. I am using a small dipole and a 50 foot long wire, connected to Hi-Z. I also tried using on a different computer near my rig and connected to same antenna as I use for my IC-7600...no joy. Had way high noise, no signals...basically I was disappointed. Stations I can receive well on the 7600 were DIFFICULT to listen to on this. I read a post on here and installed the newer SDRuno 1.12.2, still high noise and only REAL strong stations were being received and not very well.
Every once in a while it will show ADC Overload on SDRuno Main window.
I cannot receive WWV 5, 10, 15MHZ or CHU 7850. FM Broadcast band is weak with local station (within) 10 miles registering 7 on S meter. Using outdoor dual band mobile Ham antenna (Comet 144/440 Mobile) for FM Broadcast band/VHF/UHF.
After the 1.12.2 upgrade the SDRuno RX Control will Lock up and not respond and I must restart the program.
I checked Task Manager and CPU is only at 29%...thought maybe it was that.
I also cannot "roll" mouse to take RX Control below 500 KHZ, I can enter it with keypad.
Is there an RSP2 for Dummies? I will read the manual again as I must be missing just about everything.
Thanks for any help. I am getting ready to put this in the too hard pile and take it back to HRO.
