How to Enter 1090mhz

Post by KA1OWC » Thu May 18, 2017 12:09 am

What is the proper key entry for the ADS-B frequency of 1090 MHz...I keep getting weird results! Thanks,

Steve

Just remember that SDRUno uses KHz entry, so add three zeros on the end. I wish they'd make it MHz or KHz, and give us a key for each. My Signal Hound analyser does this - I just type 105 k or 220 m and it takes me there.

Really having problems now...Maybe I'm just slow, but this entry stuff confuses me...

How should the screen look for: 1090 MHz 146.910

Is the attached screen shot what I should have for the ADS-B aviation frequency?

Thanks for your patience!

That's correct. You should be tuned to 1090 MHz.

For 146.910 MHz, enter 146910 without any decimal points.

It is quite confusing, as you enter in KHz but the software puts in decimal points and makes you think you've done it wrong. Please people at SDR Play, give us MHz/KHz keys!
Good luck!
