Brian,
Thanks for your thoughtful response. I switched back to an older configuration using Power SDR 1.18.6 on a partition with XP Pro and the same SDR 1000 was operating quite normally there. Both S meters were giving the same reading and sensitivity was fine. I could pick up WWV on 10 and 15 MHz fine (WWV is a weak signal in Australia). Re-booting back to Win 7 and PSDR 2.0.8 and also 2.8.16 gave the performance I am concerned about again, and WWV was not there. Nothing else was changed, including lighting. Changing the database does not help. It is hard to believe that there is not something in the latest betas of PSDR that is causing this problem. I think that the different S meter readings may be a clue.

Any ideas why this is so? The only way to know for sure is to hook up a calibrated signal generator and test the receiver with a known signal. The problem with, "it seems worse," is that you can't really tell. Maybe your neighbor just put in a new light dimmer. I just found out that the new light dimmer I put in the kitchen does a 20dB number on my noise floor over all of 40m. -- Brian Lloyd, WB6RQN/J79BPL 3191 Western Dr. Cameron Park, CA 95682 br...@lloyd.com +1.767.617.1365 (Dominica) +1.931.492.6776 (USA) (+1.931.4.WB6RQN) _______________________________________________ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ Knowledge Base: http://kc.flexradio.com/ Homepage: http://www.flexradio.com/
