[Flexradio] High Noise Floor again using 1.18.3

2009-12-31 Thread Dan Scott
I thought I had this issue resolved but I find that it was not. I'm wondering if anyone else using (or that used) a SDR-1000 is experiencing the same issue. After install 1.18.3 the noise floor increased from less than S1 (dummy load) to S6.5 on 20-meters. The issue seems to be most obvious

Since I also own a SDR-1000, I'll reproduce your tests with a dummy load and will post here the results, but meanwhile you gave me a clue: It seems to me that the switch noise is the preamp gain relay and it is caused because you have selected different settings for General band and ham
