I don't recall having this problem until recently but now it is most
noticeable on weaker signals that are centered on the
spectrum/waterfall where the interference is located. It produces a
heterodyne that I have to move my the signal I am listening to away
from the center so the squeal is no longer heard. If I use the zoom
or center control the signal is set back to the interference.
Is there a way to apply an offset to keep the spike away from the
center?
I am using a R820T2 and have tried my older R820T and an E4000 with
the same result. The spike is about 8dBm off the noise floor most
of the time until I change the gain setting or turn the AGC on or
off which causes the spike to go to -80dBm or more with a ringing
tone and within a few seconds settles back down. I thought maybe it
had to do with AC power line noise or something local but then I
tried using a server radio and found they also have the spike. On
your Airspy HF+ I see a nasty looking thing but it is 5kHz. above
center frequency and it remains at the same point when tuning.
Thanks, 73 & congratulations on making really great software,
