Re: Reverse Mouse Tuning Wheel
Max
Not aware of this as an option in SDRC. It seems mouse wheel can be reversed by editing the registry:
https://www.alphr.com/mouse-is-going-the-wrong-direction-heres-how-to-invert/ What about using a midi controller with SDRC or simply a midi tuning knob? Many on here have done this. Sorry, I don't have the time to search right now but there are many threads on it. Then you can map exactly what you want. I think this might be better for you? Or use the keyboard arrow keys. This is my preferred method. Just in case you did not know, up/down cursor keys give coarse tuning, left/right is fine tuning, all steps setable for each mode. You need cursor over the spectrum/waterfall display to use this option, or hold down "shift" to activate it if the cursor is not in the display area. Good luck Max

No,
Spin the other way? Mouse wheel down = frequency down, similarly when scrolling a web page. How is this mouse ball thing with web pages?
FWIW software only knows that the mouse wheel has spun, not the type of mouse.

Hi,
Only from https://www.sdr-radio.com/download .
The advertising keeps the software free, without adverts (and donations) SDR Console would not exist.

Re: Antennas: Best Mini-Whip ??
michel soldevila
Sure I did !
Against a 10 m, L-shaped wire antenna with a wideband 9:1 transformer, and a buried coaxial cable to the shack. From 0 to 2 MHz, the mini whip is far better. I have just finished building a 1m shielded loop with a differential amp (M0AYF) ; I will perform some test against the mini whip Michel (F1GOC)

Re: Audio volume level passed to apps lower than expected
jdow
Um, why the obsession with this?
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
Most front ends have a gain control on them. Some, such as rtlsdr dongles, have local AGCs. Hopefully those are left off where practical to give you some means of calibrating the system. AirSpy HF+ models are an exception. And they don't calibrate well as a result. Within an rtlsdr dongle there are three gain controls. Each of them affect the antenna to consumer level for SSB and AM related modes. As it happens ALL analog gain controls in the system also have an influence on both system noise figure and dynamic range as a tradeoff. Once past the A/D converter all gain controls are equivalent and do the same thing for SSB and AM paths. Adjust them to comfortable settings and move on. {O.O}

Re: Antennas: Best Mini-Whip ??

One man's disadvantage is another man's advantage. I make overnight recordings of the NDB band. Omnidirectional is perfect for this. If I use the loop, I eliminate signals in two directions. I have found that directionality is not useful very often for the
NDB hobby. Occasionally a storm will be localized such that I can use the loop to minimize it. Occasionally I need to get a bearing on an unidentified signal. Loops can be useful for me which is why I have one. And sometimes the loop is quieter.

You cant do that with a e probe/ short vertical. ( not they they are bad!)

Re: Antennas: Best Mini-Whip ??
Thanks Simon Yes, my environment was high noise, and in retrospect , I should have put a choke on the feedline. I also noticed that the LZ1AQ system when used in dipole mode was also a lot noisier than loop mode, so I'm sure a big part of it was the environment. I miss the 70s when I first got my ticket...the only real noise was when my mom used the electric mixer or her sewing machine. 73 Brent

I am not sure if I saw this option or not but where can I enable the tuned frequency to remain (display) in the middle of the pan display as I tune around with the mouse scroll wheel? I have looked in the options window several times but keep missing it. TUI don't believe that this is an option, at the moment anyway. Seem to remember it was discussed recently but cannot the relevant post. Had a vague recollection that Simon said he would look at it sometime? As a sort of workaround, with "Auto-Center" box ticked in the "View" tab, a brief touch of the zoom control will re-centre the display. Max

Re: Audio volume level passed to apps lower than expected
Frank O'Donnell K6FOD
Thanks for the comments on this.
So I'm gathering this: When I output audio from SDR Console and pass it to an app through Virtual Audio Cable, there are four places I can adjust settings to increase/decrease the audio level seen at the input to the app: -- In SDR Console, with AGC turned off, adjust the gain slider in the AGC area -- In SDR Console, under Playback device, adjust the output audio level slider -- In Windows sound settings, under Input, select the Virtual Audio Cable line that I'm using to pass the audio, click on Device properties, adjust the volume slider -- If the app that the audio is being sent to has any input gain/volume controls, adjust those If anyone can think of any other settings to play with to raise/lower the audio level seen at the input to the app receiving the audio, it would be a great help to know about them.

Manmade noise is mainly E...
Not sure I agree but I only have my house to go by. LEDs, CFLs switching supplies are mainly low voltage high current. Used to be that high voltage was common, but not so much these days (CRT TVs and Monitors). Power line noise still qualifies as high voltage
and that is what still hammers my E-probe most of the time.

You have not bashed etc anyone.. just saying different antennas at different locations work differently.. This is important. Magnetic loop type antennas work well/ can work well in high E noise areas( and non noise areas) but e type antennas tend not too.. So one must choice wisely..( or expect disappointment.) Very basically man made noise is mainly E field..so if in “ man” area expect E antennas not to be happy and be disappointing. ( tried it..no go here, but stunning on beach away from noise.) Simon
