Pleased to hear your Andrus is a goer Dan. Once you realise about the gain selection glitch it becomes automatic to knock it down and up each session. I had issues with audio buffering on all my SDRs

Hi Daniel I bought an Andrus a few years back, said to be from a house clearance, and replaced the short circuit network chip and much to my surprise it then worked perfectly. I think I paid about £60

Hi Michel Yes, I agree. I just watched the W8BYA video and you can see the SDR Play can be set up to indicate precise signal levels by trial and error and of course within realistic limits. My receive

Hi Michael There may be a problem here? It depends on how the output from your signal generator is measured. Some will regulate the input into the generators attenuator to say 0dBm then rely on the at

Hi Simon If you are writing the program will it not precisely reflect the ability of your own brain…. Nowt to do with the computer. It will definitely be a jolly good program. Allan G3PIY From: main@S

Hi Ken Thinking a little more on your observations. Any electrical system will be subject to ground currents and because of this you’ll find in a decent hi-fi system that ground connections are import

I thought much the same Kriss. Some extension cords have a suppressor for a phone lead or similar and some now even have a built-in USB power charging socket. Or even maybe a pair of capacitors to gro

Sorry you lost your beam YL. It must have been a really traumatic experience. I did buy a box of dual gate mosfets many moons ago with the aim of transistorising my R206. I got as far as changing the

The R390A is one I still need to try out. It is somewhat of a lightweight pound for pound though compared with say the DST100 which tunes down to 50KHz and uses a VP41 RF amplifier to handle 10V RMS s

{o.o} I have a couple of aerials, an 80m dipole and a random long wire about 150 feet long. I use a matching unun with the long wire. The dipole works fine as a receiving aerial on any band and gives

Max.. I’m overhauling a WW2 R1155 and as I tuned across the long wave band a Polish station close to Radio 4 came in at a good S8 about mid day. I checked on my Andrus SDR with the same aerial and it

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 12V yellow/

Your problem with the Seasonic was probably aging capacitors Max. Lifetime of electolytics is an inverse function of temperature and some specific makes were very poor. A PC PSU is basically always ti

Just a quick suggestion Michel. If your motherboard has built-in graphics pull your graphics card and use the motherboard output. That will reduce the peak power demand and prove whether the PSU is su

Same here Nick. I had lots of intermittent problems lately and found disk errors marked in the system logs corresponding timewise to the problems. The pair of 525GB SSDs in RAID carried on regardless

When you installed Windows 10 did you switch off all the intrusive programs? These are turned off in the non-express install or whatever they call it. If you failed to turn these off the processor loa

Any unexpected shutdown will result in that hard drive resync especially if its Windows software RAID. If it’s a bad disk you’ll always get red marks in the System log. If the PC goes to a black scree

Agreed.. you always then get a log message about the PC unexpectedly stopping or rebooting with no indicated reason. When my processor hit 125C the other day and BSOD that was the message in my logs.
