Dana, the SDR-1000 has the lowest noise floor you can expect from a radio. I am evaluating this radio and compare it with my Kachina and the measurement results of other leading radios. I wonder what you mean with the sampling rates you mention for the FA-66. The figures you name are Baud rates or communication speeds for serial ports. The sampling rates of the FA-66 are 44.1, 48, 96 and 192 kHz. Our radio does not support the 44,1 kHz, which is the sampling rate for CDs. The FA-66 connection to the PC is done via Fire Wire, the speed of which is far higher. If you find the sensitivity of the SDR-1000 to be far lower than one the contentional radios, you may have a hardware problem. One difference to mention is the s-meter. This is much better with the SDR1K than with conventional radios. These are fairly accurate around S 9. They normally show nothing below S 4 and exaggerate above S 9. But you report that you dont't hear the weaker Stations. This means that it is not a matter of the S-meter. How does it look when you attach the antenna to your SDR1k? It should raise the nois floor of your display conciderably. 73, Luer, DF5TP - not very close to your location, rather dx - -------------- next part -------------- An embedded message was scrubbed...
