I suppose if you have bucket loads of money you could locate your antenna and SDR receiver remotely in an area of low noise and operate it over the internet - transferring the I/Q signals to your home QTH That's what I am dreaming of daily. I already checked out a couple of affordable real estates ...

Are you using a noise blanker which is adjusted very "tight"?
Noise blankers sometimes produce "ghost" signals when there are strong signals in the passband.
Just a guess.

Ah! I have an "SMA one". I did not know.

Now I just need to play "find the F to BNC adapter" again, does it have to be 50 ohms Do you mean BNC/SMA? What is the approximate impedance of a long wire anyways? "Longwires" do no have a constant impedance over the frequency range. That depends on length, height above ground a.s.o. The impedance...

The answer may sound blunt, but it is: When shielding the unit with foil improves the noise situation then it helps against electric stray fields. When shielding the unit with a steel cabinet (iron) improves the noise situation then it helps against magnetic and electric stray fields. But when you d...

As soon as my gout goes away in my foot I'll take the RSP to a friend This is certainly the best solution to find out. 80 mA seem to be OK. If it should work at your friend's location, I have some thoughts (theoretically): The Russian electronics uses a dual gate MOSFET. According to my experience ...

You could open the feed unit and measure the current where the fuse is placed with the Amp meter to get a first impression. If it is not within (estimated) 70 and 90 mA something is wrong in the antenna amplifier.

Have you tried the antenna on a different receiver to rule out that is is defective?

Try VB-Cable or HiFi-Cable from Vincent Burel http://vb-audio.pagesperso-orange.fr/Cable/ It's donation ware. You can also use VAC from Eugene Muzychenko. http://software.muzychenko.net/eng/ It's commercial. If your PC's soundcard has a Stereomix pin (sometimes this must be activated in the recordin...

I installed the faad2.drm.dll into the folder. Just to make sure: The dll should be called libfaad2.dll . I have it running with Dream 1.13 (for media contens like French slide shows ;-)) and Dream 2.1. In some earlier versions of Dream they called it faad2_drm.dll (just renaming helped ;-)), but I...
