I suspect it is an issue with the antenna match to the receiver. One might provide better performance on any given antenna than the other. Which one does better depends on the antenna.

Max.. I’m overhauling a WW2 R1155and as I tuned across the long wave band a Polish station close to Radio 4 camein at a good S8 about mid day. I checked on my Andrus SDR with the sameaerial and it

Just a random observation - I tend to over-provision the power supply on general principles. It will stand up to random heavy spikes in load a little better. I don't believe what

David... Most new motherboards have a second connector (12V yellow/black) which has to be plugged in for the system to boot up. Some graphics cards also have an extra power connector, also

Yes they do David, My GT1600 (Whatever Simon was recommending!) has a 4-pin connector (old school HDD type) Mine is powered directly from the PSU. Not sure if any power is supplied via the graphics

Do some graphics cards have a second power supply connection? I've seen this with satellite TV tuner cards. Just wondering what might happen if the second power lead hadn't been

A collinear made from co-ax would be a better bet for 1.09 GHz ADS-B as it has more gain. For example: https://www.balarad.net/ For aircraft scatter use an antenna appropriate to the frequency

Max et al, I have a Corsair PSU too can’t recall exact model but it’s rated at 750W. It was overkill for the first PC I built with it and the second and probably the third one too, built last

Would a similar V antenna, adjusted to the proper length, would be suitable for ADS-B or even plane scatter (air scatter) ?

Hi Max, It's indeed surprising. As a LF enthusiast (chasing NDB for more than 20 years), I can tell the Discovery is one of the most sensitive receiver I have ever used, if not the most sensitive

Your problem with the Seasonic wasprobably aging capacitors Max. Lifetime of electolytics is an inversefunction of temperature and some specific makes were very poor. A PC PSU is basically always

Agree power supply can caused weird faults. I had one where the PC could not be turned on with the front panel switch, but would turn on if the main AC outlet switch was cycled. Friend had same PSU

Hi Ken, Everything in the PC has been cleaned, each fan checked or replaced when necessary. Michel

Hi Michel, Does the video card have a fan on the GPU? If so, cleaning the blades and cooling fins of dust might help. I had a video card in an old PC several years ago that was so clogged with

For anyone interested. 132ft end fed antenna. 20:26 in evening. NDB is CHT (Chilterns) 277 kHz at 61 miles NE from my home QTH. As you can see I've isolated the CW sideband but that's irrelevant as

We are almost there ! Without the graphics card, the PC no longer switches off when SDR Console is launched. SDR Console is thus totally cleared. My mistake. So, two possibilities remain: the aging
