Re: Using SDR Console.

Hi Paul,
Thanks for the info. Yeah any updates would be much appreciated. As far as PPM goes, mine is fine as well at least for voice, however I was experimenting last year with an RTL dongle with modded temp controlled TCXO using the dongle as my receiver and my FT-847 as the transmitter to do digital modes, so for me matching the dongle exactly to my radio is critical. The Same will be required when I try it again with the SDRplay as digital signals are very narrow and a few hertz off frequency can make a big difference compared with voice. Just for your info, I was doing this using an ELAD switch box (RX/TX Automatic exchanger) which basically Isolates the SDR when you transmit (both RF and AF) and in conjunction with Cat cable and Omni rig makes a great combination. Its awesome to see a signal in the waterfall, click it and then work it. No dial turning required
Anyway I digress and way past bedtime
Keep us posted on any info Paul
