Use of Left and Right Channels?
Posted: Thu Jan 25, 2018 6:44 am
It seems like there ought to be more capability to use left and right channels to do something more than just play the exact same audio to both ears. It's especially apparent if you use earbuds or headphones.
Don't get me wrong - I get full Stereo with SWFM broadcasts from SDRuno. The separation and quality are beautiful at 192K.
But switch to any of the other modes and.... Pure mono. The station and static are all centered in my head.
Has anyone experimented, for example, with LSB on the left ear and USB on the right? Or balancing the L/R channels per the power detected, so that a signal tuned below center frequency will seem like it's off to the left? Or maybe spread the frequencies across the left-right separation to make it easier to concentrate on a particular CW signal?
I see stuff in the panel about I / Q being mapped to left and right channels but to be completely honest based on what I hear I can't sense anything at all different coming out from the channels. What's up with that?
