RSP2. Going into 2nd week. Help and requests.
Posted: Sun May 21, 2017 3:10 pm
So far pretty good. Got the RSP2 after searching reviews and forums. Easy sw install and setup.
Using a Comet Discone, a QFH for LEO sats, and a longwire into the High-Z port.
It doesn't work with SDR# (one reason I got it). I'm and "old schooler" SWL and VHF guy.
Scan and store, S meter thresholds incorporated in. And the ability to ignore spurs while doing so needs to be implemented.
The RSP2 decision was after attempting to widen and narrow the IF bandwidth on a few scanners and an ICOM IC-R8500.
I have a test bench. Spectrum analyzers, etc. I like the RSP2 sensitivity and flexibility to change operational parameters.
Lots of reading and learning to be done still.
Not entirely understanding when using HDSDR bandwidth>input sampling rate making voice coms sounding like a dragging tape when using high sampling rates. The SDR Controller EXTIO settings will take more reading. 0 IF is a bit....confusing, as is the ADC settings. More reading and playing I guess.
Scan and store, locking out sigs (AND spurs). A way to use software with the EXTIO for 3rd party applications (yours has very limited plugins...if any).
This should be a must. If registering my SDRplay RSP2 was only so that you could track sales. I ask you a question.
I have 2 weeks still to return my RSP2 for a refund (as currently it has no software scan support) and swap it for a different SDR that DOES.
How would you track returns of other units that do not meet up to the expectations that other lesser or better SDR units do as a defacto standard (ie: software support).
Users in this forum. Please offer suggestions if you can to assist myself and others.
I have installed quite a few SDR software applications and placed the EXTIO in them. Some work, some will not, and others partially work with the RSP2.
And, Thanks!
