Help to get started
Newbie here.
Can not get my new SDR Play to work.
I am trying to use HDSDR.
I am getting a spectrum screen but all the signals appear to be birdies and not carriers. Tuning the frequency does not change the carriers.
On the SDRplay RSP Device Controller console window if you hit ExtIO right above SDRplay Ltd. at the bottom of the window I show.... Station: Disabled.
Any help please.
Thanks

Without knowing more, it's hard to guess, although the 'station disabled' refers to the station identification feature which allows you to see the names of likely short wave broadcast stations on specific frequencies - don't worry about that at this point. Another common problem is people have the gain reduction set too low - it needs to be around -60dB for a typical wire antenna on HF for example.
As I mentioned in my blog today - the otehr way to get fantastic help if you are new to SDR is to join the facebook group - see today's post on http://www.sdrplay.com/blog.html
