Hi all, I've been happily using my SDR-1000 as an IF rig for transverters for a month now. It seemed to be performing fine. This weekend I put up dipoles on 10 and 20m and decided to see how it worked on HF and I was disappointed. I hooked the same antenna to my FT-847 and was hearing stations 3-4 S units better. There were stations that I couldn't even hear on the SDR-1000. I guess the reason I thought it was working well before was because the transverters/preamps are doing all the heavy lifting.
I went to the list archives and read about similar problems and tried all the suggestions I could find to fix it. I also re-calibrated the radio using WWV as the reference but it made no difference. I'm using PowerSDR 1.8.0 with the preamp on high and the AF set at 90. As a last resort I went through the FA-66 setup guide and found one problem. I can't get the sample rate to go higher than 9600. I get an invalid sample rate error if I try to set it to 19200. I'm not sure that this is related to the problem or not but I thought I'd mention it. Anyone have any ideas? Is anyone on the list near Danbury, CT? I'd be interested in bringing my radio over and comparing it to see if the problem is software or hardware related.
