I am in the country and I have intermittent power line noise. When it is bad, the Noise Blanker in my Flex 6500 will remove it completely, dropping the S meter reading by sometimes as much as 10 DB.
Congrats Dave. You'll love the Orion II. I don't remember anything like what you are describing when I had mine. Carl Moreschi N4PY 58 Hogwood Rd Louisburg, NC 27549 www.n4py.com I recently acquired
I completely disagree with setting the audio gain high. This almost completely defeats the beautiful AGC system in the Orion. Carl Moreschi N4PY 58 Hogwood Rd Louisburg, NC 27549 www.n4py.com On 12/1
Barry makes some good points on why to do this. As far as the rush of band noise between words, that's easily fixed by using slow AGC. But the biggest problem with the scheme of using high audio gain
Why wouldn't just setting AGC to medium or slow solve all the problems you are trying to fix. That way you never get blasted, you don't have to find a very strong signal to set audio gain, you never
You can add a panadapter to the Eagle without adding the 9 mhz IF. I did it with my Eagle. I replaced cable #2 with a Y cable. The third peg of the Y cable then goes to a panadapter receiver. This is
Rick, You can just put a Y connector between the two preselector jacks and run the third leg to a panadapter radio such as the Softrock Ensemble II. This works great. My software will keep the softro
Inside the Eagle that I have which like yours is a very early one, there's a cable labelled #2 that runs from to the Eagle receiver. This cable is perfect for picking up the receive signal to the Eag
Yes, my software does all the syncing. And this connection is fully protected from transmit power. Carl Moreschi N4PY 58 Hogwood Rd Louisburg, NC 27549 www.n4py.com But that is effectively just feedi
They have changed to the Softrock Ensemble III. These are available as kits for $67. You run them with HDSDR and these receivers use the sound card in your computer. A stock sound card will have a li
I actually think the Softrock Ensemble III will do everything you need. It will give you 48 khz of spectrum with your existing sound card. You will be able to see the transmit bandwidth of stations,
Also I would say the Watson W-SDRX1 looks very interesting and is the one I would likely get if I was in your position. It would be able to display many mhz of spectrum and not be limited to 48 khz a
I am actually using an optiplex dual core at my mountain house. It's fine for using panadapter programs. The panadapter program is the only high CPU user in what you have described. Also, my N4PY sof
That's no where near as CPU intensive as displaying a panadapter. Carl Moreschi N4PY 58 Hogwood Rd Louisburg, NC 27549 www.n4py.com The panadapter program is the only high CPU user in what you have d
It would definitely work with winkey but you are right it might not work if N1MM is forming the characters. Is your computer dual core? Carl Moreschi N4PY 58 Hogwood Rd Louisburg, NC 27549 www.n4py.c
Let me take a shot at this. There are basically two types of SDR panadapter receivers. 1) Direct converison receivers. These use the same method as the old Tentec Century 21 and convert RF directly t
This computer is not a good candidate to run with a panadapter. I would say you need at least dual core and 2 ghz and 2 gig of memory. Carl Moreschi N4PY 58 Hogwood Rd Louisburg, NC 27549 www.n4py.co
I wouldn't worry too much about BDR3 with the panadapter radio. It's your main radio that is important. The rule for DSP is the highest frequency you can get is half of the sampling rate. That's from
That because as you sample the RF input, the number of bits you have determine the maximum range. With 8 bits, you can go to 256. With 24 bits you can go to 16,777,216. The ratio of those two is 6553
HDSDR works well with Ensemble II. My N4PY software will marry the Eagle and HDSDR. Carl Moreschi N4PY 58 Hogwood Rd Louisburg, NC 27549 www.n4py.com Barry N1EU Reading what had been posted on the to
