This may be old news to other SDR-IQ users on this list, but it was new to me, so I though I would post it. The instructions are lifted from a review of the radio on eham.net written by KF6CM. To listen to 2 *different* frequencies (within the same 190 kHz bandwidth screen) simultaneously using S

Craig - The experiments sound encouraging if you can work out the kinks. I think that if I had the receiver at a site that is obviously "juiced" towards one DX target or another (Latin America in the case of your south-facing shore site at WNBH), I'd do some RF recordings that could be offloade

[IRCA] SDR-14 remote update

2007-11-14 Thread Craig Healy
I've been working on setting up the SDR-14 so it can be accessed remotely. Right now it's set up in New Bedford at the WNBH-1340 transmitter site. Just a simple antenna for the moment, a ferrite loop on a tripod sitting on the workbench. It's turned to null the tower (15m/50' away). There's also

[IRCA] SDR remote operation

2007-11-11 Thread Craig Healy
I was looking over the SDR-14 tonight to see how it could be operated remotely. It looks very easy. There is a program in the C:\Program Files\Spectravue\ folder called SDRxxServer.exe which sets it up. Click on it, hit "Stop" and change the port number to whatever is appropriate for the interne

Hi Walter, I"m glad you're having such good results with the SDR-IQ. I've had great results myself, although I don't post my contacts here because I'm more interested in Radio performance than in DX-ing MW stations. THere was a lot of controversy about the SDR_IQ a while back but it seems to

Thanks Colin. I had wondered as the Universal site says even Windows 2000 will work with the SDR IQ. I don't own a late model laptop as yet, but it has also been in the back of my mind. With the SDR-IQ going for $500, I have thought about it. I could pick up a used laptop with Windows 2000 or XP an

The SDR-IQ, and the companion SDR-14, work fine on computers that are "Chevys" by today's standards. You do not need a "super fast computer" to run them successfully. Here are the minimum and recommended specs: SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS - MINIMUM Pentium III at 800 MHz, Pentium 4 or Athlon XP 1600+ Wind
