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

Every ground plane I’ve ever seen has been connected to.. a ground! The “active” part of the 1/4 wave is usually connected to the center conductor of the coax, the ground plane is connected to

Yep, Simon, HardwareMonitor is already installed. No temperature problem reported. I refined the tests: - running SDR Console without any SDR connected: OK - connecting the SDR to the PC: OK -

That makes sense ... many thanks. I have a box full of 750mm telescopic aerials so this was a very cheap starting point ;-) Dave On 22/12/2021 13:50, D R via groups.io

A lot of Daves on here giving advice! The reflectors on the illustrated V antenna are simply forming a ground plane, and they should NOT be connected to the feedline. Ideally, they should be
