Re: [IRCA] Housing the RF-Space SDR-IQ
Hi Guy, 837 & 864 are not issues here in the mornings, except 837 does not have IBOC, but it has slop from KSWB 840. 864 is fairly clear with the JJ regionals. KHHO is directional I know and may null this area with KSWB on 840 and KPAM on 860. I can hear KHHO during the day, but they aren't strong. The only time I hear the hash on 840, if KSWB is off or it is near LSS if I phase 840 down.. KEX 1190 hash is my main issue here. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin KAVT Reception Manager ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com
Re: [IRCA] Housing the RF-Space SDR-IQ
Guy, What are the other differences between the SDR-IQ and the SDR-1000? Since my knowledge of computer generated receivers is so limited, I am wondering if one would work well for me. I would think a laptop would still be quietier than any regular computer though. I do like being able to record a section of the band. That is very nice feature. The noise blankers you mention sound like they may do a better job than the ones in the R8.

Re: [IRCA] The beginning of the end - of IBOC
Craig, Here in the NW, I have noticed bad hash on 1170 and 1200 (KSL & KEX). Interesting, the hash is not as bad on the SPR4 with the 4.8 khz crystal filters. The filter is closer to 4 khz though. Plus the addition of the IF notch over the AF notch on the R8, helps somewhat too. Nothing is a cure-all, but it is interesting different receivers pick up differently. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin KAVT Reception Manager ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com

Re: [IRCA] Housing the RF-Space SDR-IQ
I have a robust nibbler tool but I did not opt to use it. I used a variety of fine files and a drill press with a wide index variety to cut away what I needed and file the rest - it allowed me to be a bit more artistic. And yes - I cut away enough of the length that the LED's sit within about 2mm of the front fascia. Ironically, most of the cutting time was spent on the DB9 (male) Serial jack -- which I ended up "blocking" for aestetics. -- Colin Newell - Editor/Creator coffeecrew.com | dxer.ca Web-Design / E-Commerce / Writing Victoria, British Columbia, Canada ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com
Re: [IRCA] Housing the RF-Space SDR-IQ
Hi Craig, One area I believe the SDR-14 excels in is dynamic range/IP3. If you compare the specs you'll find better "frontend" numbers, which should translate into better performance in RF alleys (less overload, images, etc.).

Re: [IRCA] Housing the RF-Space SDR-IQ
Hi Brett, I was the original purchaser of that enclosure, and had planned to do the SDR-IQ installation in it for Walt. I ran out of time, and had to deliver Walt's SDR-IQ to him at the QCI DXpedition without the case work. I'm glad that Colin was able to wrap it up in short order for him. As you have seen from the photos, the enclosure has nice rounded corners and a black anodized finish, and a ribbed interior for holding circuit boards of the correct width. (The SDR-IQ's board width is a bit too narrow for this method.) If I recall correctly, I purchased the enclosure at the Seattle area Fry's Electronics over a year ago for around $25, and had it on hand when Walt's SDR-IQ arrived at my shack. I haven't seen that case style lately at Fry's so they may no longer carry it. My plan was to "remote" the LEDs from the PCB via some short lengths of hookup wire, and attach the LEDs to the front panel through tight-fitting holes. I hadn't thought of shortening the case length like Colin did. The case was originally about 6 inches long. Radio Shack's "nibbler" tool is a great way to make square-cornered holes and panel openings such as for the USB port. I'm not sure if Colin used this or a similar tool; it was a real help for finishing my SDR-1000/HPSDR's new case. Many months ago, RFSpace had offered their own enclosure to the original 200 pre-production SDR-IQ purchasers for the attractive price of $50, but to my knowledge they never followed through with this. Quite a few early SDR-IQ purchasers have given up hope that the company will follow through on their offer :^( Guy Atkins Puyallup, WA -- Message: 9 Date: Tue, 2 Oct 2007 19:44:08 -0400 From: "Brett Saylor" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [IRCA] Housing the RF-Space SDR-IQ To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], "Mailing list for the International Radio Club of America" Colin, Can you tell me what the manufacturer and part number is for the case that you used?

Re: [IRCA] Housing the RF-Space SDR-IQ
Hi Patrick, The potential exists in SDR-type radios to have phenomenal noise blankers. I know that the twin NBs in my own SDR-1000 are excellent. One is intended for short duration pulses (like electric fence clicks) and the other for longer buzzes & noises. Both of these blankers can have their threshold level (sensitivity) adjusted easily through a software dialog box. The noise blankers in the SDR-1000 "look" at the signal before and after the noise burst, notches out the noise, and then-- (here comes the clever part)-- insert a COPY of a brief moment of the "good" signal into the empty spot left by the notched-out noise pulse. The result is the best noise blanking action I personally have encountered in a receiver. The SDR-IQ and SDR-14 could have the same performance level if the author of the SpectraVue software would update his program with a similar approach to noise blanking. Such are the benefits of these new software-defined radios. Manufacturers of traditional rigs can't upgrade their product with an easily distributed software package or version upgrade; ie., once a Drake R-8, Rev. A, always a Drake R-8, Rev. A... 73, Guy Atkins Puyallup, WA -- Message: 4 Date: Tue, 2 Oct 2007 19:13:50 -0700 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Patrick Martin) Subject: Re: [IRCA] Housing the RF-Space SDR-IQ To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], irca@hard-core-dx.com (Mailing list for the International Radio Club of America) Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: Text/Plain; Charset=US-ASCII Thanks Rob for the info on the SDR-IQ.

[IRCA] The end of IBOC -- and AM?
They may be snakes in this grass, and they may be biting themselves, but lil' old Tom in NH isn't part of that equation. The stations rely on local ad revenue, largely from within the main contours. From an income business point of view, they largely don't care an IBOC hoot about their non-local audience. WJR and WABC beancounters could care less about you. Yes, IBOC is making it difficult if not impossible for you to litsne to AM stations 200-plus miles away. But that's not what is killing IBOC. What will send the sword plunging into the beast is the fact that (1) IBOC is killing stations within their own primary contours and (2) it's adding significantly to the noise that already plagues much of the AM band, making it generally speaking an unpleasant experience. Anyhow, I stand by my previous remarks, ages ago, that AM is dead, with or without IBOC, and that the smart broadcasters who will survive the inevitable AM-ageddon will prepare for some kind of migration to an eventual digital, wireless, satelite-based, online world. The technology will soon be there. Anyhow,, they will get there successfully by enhancing programming, building a distinct identity and raison-d'etre, building brand recognition (in a way that honestly deserves recognition), and faithfully serving the community or region or other audience target. Maintaining and building the revenue base of advertisers is also key, of course, as is immediately establishing and maintaining a strong, active web-based multi-platform presence (web site with audio, video and print). And the longer they can hold onto an actual AM-based audience, the better it will help the inevitable, eventual transition. The sad thing about IBOC is its potential to cause chaos in what should be an orderly process. BTW, I think FM and TV will also eventually head in this direction; might take a bit longer, and the precise paths will vary. Saul Chernos Tom L Jones wrote: >>> Good news! Interesting thing is that WABC / WJR kill each other here with there IBOC & I am a LISTENER to both. I wonder how many "pairs" there are like this under the same owners killing themselfs.

If someone were to take an IBOC station to court, I would think that Citadel's shutting off of their IBOC would be tantamount to an admission that it caused interference. A court would certainly consider that in the hearing, even if Citadel wasn't the defendant. And, daytime IBOC in December will still be a real pain. If anything, IBOC should be shut off during the critical hours time as well. That would leave very little time, so why would they even bother? This will have two other effects. First, receiver manufacturers will probably pause before leaping on board. Second, non-IBOC station owners will certainly have a non-incentive to spend tens of thousands of dollars on something that may be pulled right out from under them. Considering AM IBOC covers about half the radius of the good quality analog, cutting power is really not an option. A couple nights ago I set my JVC radio to scan for AM IBOC signals. I let it run maybe a half hour. It detected 710, 880, 1030 and that's about it. It decoded none of them, even after numerous tries. About the only thing it decoded was the WBZ call letters. Even WBZ daytime only decodes maybe a third of the time. Just enough to make the switching back and forth annoying. In the daytime, local WHJJ-920 has a significant level difference in their IBOC signal. It sounds to be at least 10db down, maybe more. I'd bet the switching on that is a real turnoff.

Re: [IRCA] The beginning of the end - of IBOC
I wish I could be as optimistic as a lot of you, but to paraphrase Mark Twain, "the reports of AM IBOC's death are exaggerated." While as a Dxer, I would love nothing more than to see AM IBOC fall flat on its face, there is just too much money and too much corporate power behind the technology - no matter how flawed it is. Despite today's news from Citadel, remember that they are just one voice of many. Others, like Clear Channel (who has a substantial financial interest in Ibiquity), are going to push it forward despite its drawbacks. The good news is that the FCC WILL listen to legitimate concerns expressed concerning interference within a station's protected contour. I know this for a fact. But, for DX purposes, don't expect the FCC to listen if someone in New Jersey complains that they can't hear WJR in Detroit anymore because WABC's IBOC hash is wiping it out. It is out of their area of concern since it is not an affect on local listeners to WJR. Citadel, in turning off the night IBOC, has made a good move to protect many of their high power AMs and their nighttime skywave coverage. This is a promising first step. It is steps like these that - if multiplied dramatically - will save nighttime AM. Broadcasters do, despite what many people think, often police themselves. What will spell the end of AM IBOC will only be additional owners and local listeners who realize that they have lost something precious -- coverage. 73, Rene F.

Re: [IRCA] Housing the RF-Space SDR-IQ
> What is the difference in the SDR-14 and the SDR-IQ? The issue without > a good NB is a big issue here though. Well, I haven't really seen a good comparison. However, here's what I know.. 1. The SDR-14 does require a separate 12v supply. The SDR-IQ runs off the USB connection power. 2. There are two antenna connectiona on the SDR-14. One goes through a 30MHz low pass filter, the other goes right to the analog to digital converter and supposedly has a bandwidth up to 230MHz. I'm sure it requires band filtering. 3. I think the SDR-14 has a preamp on the 30MHz low pass filter port. 4. It's a bit larger, though not by much. Beyond that, I don't know. I came home tonight and there was a note on my door that UPS had tried to deliver a package from Universal Radio today that needed a signature. So, it looks like it'll be here tomorrow. We shall see. I do have an older laptop that I probably can upgrade to Windows 2000 for portable use. Perhaps.. I am really looking forward to letting the recorder run in the beacon band.

Walter supplied me with a box that was too long. I cut the box length down, touched up the paint, drilled and cut and filed all the right holes - assembled and tested.

[IRCA] WSB, WJR, and WABC
Just heard WABC and WSB for the first time since September 13, and they never sounded so good. I'd be happier still if WJR shut off their daytime IBOC as there is a lot of day-time DX on 770 around here. And on a side note, just worked Turks and Caicos on the 40 meter band, so you can sign me...

Congratulations, Bill! Even after all my travels, that's a feat I've accomplished in only a handful of states: NY (now THAT was a project, which took the better part of 15 years), MA, CT, RI and NJ. I'm getting close to being done with PA, and closing in on IN and IA as well. Still missing a few stubborn holdouts in VT, NH and ME. The recent trip to NRC/WTFDA in Boise got me within a few AMs of completing Idaho, though the missing stations are pretty widely scattered (McCall, Burley, Montpelier, Orofino, St. Maries, etc!) The only province I completed was PEI, back when there were still AM stations there... :-) > What next? Delaware? That's not a hard task! During the 1997 NRC convention at New Castle, a bunch of us managed to come very close. If memory serves, we got to every AM in the state except the 1280 in Seaford in the course of just a day of not-very-strenuous driving.

Re: [IRCA] V6AH in Micronesia
But what language(s) do they speak in Micronesia? // Paul, I did a Google search and found out that the official national language is English. But Ulithian, Woleaian, Yapese, Pohnpeian, Kosraean, and Chuukese are also considered "official" languages at the state or local level. Kind of reminds me of an incident I had at a restaurant in Bowling Green KY a few years ago. The waitress and myself were both speaking English. But we had a lot of trouble figuring out what the other was saying. She had the nerve to accuse me of having a strange accent when it was perfectly clear to me that I was speaking in normal yankee English. When we finally got to the drink part I ordered iced tea. I knew for sure I was in a foreign land when she asked regular or sweet. Us yankees haven't even invented sweet tea yet. I'll take a sprig of mint in mine please.

Re: [IRCA] The beginning of the end - of IBOC
Bill, The "working on it", may be a way to easily slide IBOC out of AM. As they can be working on it for any certain length of time. The suits will have to face it that there is no way around the noise. So, it does look like the handwritting is on the wall. Hopefully, day IBOC will go in time too.

Re: [IRCA] Housing the RF-Space SDR-IQ
Patrick, I can verify that the SDR-IQ works fine with XP. I use mine both with an Acer Laptop and my Dell 4700 desktop without any problems. It's loads of fun to see what the little receiver can do. I'd stay away from XP. While the SDR-IQ generally works with XP, there have been enough complaints of problems with it so I'd be very leery of it. I generally won't use a new OS until it's been rev'd at least once! I understand that both HP and Dell (and probably others) are offering XP on their machines as an option but I haven't checked this out so see how much trouble it is to get one.

Re: [IRCA] The beginning of the end - of IBOC
Bill, I, too, am feeling a little skeptical about all of this. I hope it's still true, as we could use some good news. 1) The e-mail did not state whether it was all IBOC or nighttime IBOC. I checked WJR at 2:30 this afternoon, and it was still going. Will check again after dark. 2) Citadel has 177 FM and 66 AM stations in their system. A visit at the corporate website did not mention anything ( www.citadelradio.com ) about IBOC, period. Nothing about having it, not having it, had it, etc. But then corporate websites (in general) very rarely talk about their failures. 3) A visit to the WJR makes no mention of HD either. As a point of comparison, WWJ (which is under different ownership) still has an HD Link showing on the main page of their website. We'll just have to wait it out for the oversized soprano.

Re: [IRCA] The beginning of the end - of IBOC
Patrick, I certainly hope this is true. There are reports that WJR already turned it off on 28 September. Still, I remain skeptical. I would like to see something from Citadel itself with an explanation of what they want to do about it if anything. They need to explain if this is permanent or temporary. Maybe they are turning it off to re-group so to speak. Bill Patrick Martin wrote: > Gents, > > This is very good news, indeed.

Re: [IRCA] TP Morning Oct 2: Fair to Good
John, It was a good morning here with a bunch of Filipinos in, with 1026 being the best. But unfortunately, I never logged anything new I could ID. I did have another filipino on 765, but I could not ID it. Interesting again, no EE or SS in the language heard. Not 100% sure is was a Tagalog dialect either. But it was a Filipino language. I have been sitting on 765 often of late after hearing Indian Film music on there last week, but I have not heard that again on 765. But a weak signal buried in CC/JJ on 918 which sounded SE Asian, Thai/Vietnamese type language which could have been the 120 KWer Cambodia. I did note Vietnam on 675, but no sign of it on 549 though. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin KAVT Reception Manager ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com
