2 new antennas have arrived for my shack. They will mainly be used connected to the USB- Software Defined Radio Dongles. One is a QFH for NOAA satellite imag…

i was able to decode it also
Thanks, looks like a good program, will give it a go.
Haha, nice one.
Hi thanks! You need to enable the stereo mix setting in your recording
devices settings (right click the volume speaker in your taskbar and go to
recording devices, right click stereo mix and click enable). Then in PDW
under Interface -> Settings, set the configuration to Custom, and the
soundcard to Stereo Mix. Search for youtube user Croccydile, he has a video
showing the PDW steps. Also you might need to put up the system volumes,
and the HDSDR volumes for it to work.
Ok Thanks!
Clever little man 🙂
Nice,
SDR Sharp works alot better if you ask me with the RTL-SDR, give it a shot
Hello! Great video! How do you pass audio signal from HDSDR to PDW? Thanks!
Sdr# is better for dsd as it can pass unfiltered audio, hdsdr is better for
pdw and voice imo.
I was even able to decode the transmissions from the video audio.
afsk version as well
cool.. i can decode the signals here too..
Thanks for this. It gave me something to test again.
What does the little percentage meter in the top right of PDW mean? I have
a “caution” or “warning” symbol (exclamation in a little yellow triangle)
to the left of it too. Any idea what that indicates? I thought it may have
been signal strength.
New antenna time 🙂 Super happy with the Comet and the new QFH for NOAA
sat imaging. Work perfect with the $10 USB SDR’s. More vids coming on the
results. Cheers All.
New antennas for my SDR setup- Mailbag Monday
Mailbag Monday, that’s good. Would that comet antenna be a good choice for
ADS-B?
The two values are for the transmitting and receiving frequencies, in fact
the discone is tuned to receive from 25MHz to 1.5GHz and capable of
transmitting with a low ROS (reflected power) at certain frequencies, in
the case of your antenna can transmit on 6m (50Mhz), 2m (144MHz), 70cm
(440Mhz), 33cm (900MHz) and 23cm (1.2GHz) which are the frequencies where
the Amateur Radio Stations are authorized to operate. Additional elements
are the maximum applicable power, 100W, the impedance of 50 Ohm which is
NOT matching the SDR setup being of 75 Ohm input impedance, the cable
RG-58/U which is a 52Ohm impedance cable and the gain of 5.12 Dbi
(isotropic gain) which are slightly below 3 DBb gain. For every 3DBb the
signal strength is doubling… (very rough calculation).
Enjoy the new setup!
New antennas for my $10 software defined radio setups. Should be very well
covered now for many of the frequencies and NOAA wether imagery. Cheers
How well has your reflow setup treated you? I’m the market for one and the
858D looks decent, but would like a real review on your 898D (not a vid,
just an opinion more or less).
IIRC, the two bandwidth ratings are for without and with the vertical
element on top respectively.
do you have some links or tutorials on how to DIY make the first tube
antenna?
what model of antenna’s are they can you let me know thanks.. name and
model number
