Hi all!
If you missed the SAQ transmission on December 24th you have a new opportunity on December 27th:

Good luck and enjoy!

Re: Reverse Spectrum
Yes, I have to swap I/Q. I buyed some RTL-Stick because i know there is some function ( Direct Sampling ). But nothing changes. Somebody an idea?

Re: NDB - Airspy HF+ DIscovery versus Hermes Lite 2
Sorry you lost your beam YL. It must havebeen a really traumatic experience.
I did buy a box of dual gate mosfets manymoons ago with the aim of transistorising my R206. I got as far as changing

Re: NDB - Airspy HF+ DIscovery versus Hermes Lite 2
Heh, me be injuneer. Alas not hairy chested for some reason. So MY R390A has been tweaked a little. It goes down into that frequency range. I used it a little. I moved back to 20 meters

Re: NDB - Airspy HF+ DIscovery versus Hermes Lite 2
The R390A is one I still need to try out.It is somewhat of a lightweight pound for pound though compared with say theDST100 which tunes down to 50KHz and uses a VP41 RF amplifier to handle 10V

Assume dB relative to full scale for the A/D converter.

Exactly dB what. They are a measure of how far down you are from when the front end overloads. With the AirSpy HF+ further calibration is not really possible last I knew. For most other

I suspect you are not running them correctly.
I have listened to the best of the best analog. In fact I still have my R390A; but, it is retired just before I redesigned it for

Re: NDB - Airspy HF+ Discovery versus Hermes Lite 2
Max,
Do you connect the receive antenna direct or via a splitter? For a good test connect the receive antenna direct.

Re: NDB - Airspy HF+ Discovery versus Hermes Lite 2
Tom,
I’m surprised the Airspy is better than WinRadio on LF – what antenna do you use? Airspy is very sensitive, I expect WinRadio not as sensitive.

Max,
Looking at this recording it would be interesting to see the Airspy settings (Ribbon Bar, Home). You could also try different Airspy bandwidths.

Re: NDB - Airspy HF+ DIscovery versus Hermes Lite 2
Max, I do not need to do any of that with mine. I use HDSDR and just leave the AGC on auto, and the preamp OFF. If you need to do all that then I would suggest there is something very wrong with your

Re: NDB - Airspy HF+ DIscovery versus Hermes Lite 2
Before I made the videos I spent quite a while on the Airspy tweaking all settings of AGC, then AGC off and multiple different gain settings. The recording I showed was the best result I could get.

Re: NDB - Airspy HF+ DIscovery versus Hermes Lite 2
You might be right but I would not assume that w/o verifying first.
Also, just for fun I made some amplitude measurements of my RSPdx. You might find the near end

Re: NDB - Airspy HF+ DIscovery versus Hermes Lite 2
I assume dBm. In any case its his Airspy vs my Airspy. So its relative and just for diagnostics.

Re: NDB - Airspy HF+ DIscovery versus Hermes Lite 2
Tom, I do not own an Airspy so I do not know but when you say below -130 dB what are the units? dB what?
Are they an absolute figure like dBm (which is what you need)
