Re: Rocky v1.1
Now, you really cannot do a fair comparison of Rocky and PowerSDR. The PowerSDR software was developed to support the SDR-1000 which is MUCH more complex than the SR40. Support for the SR40 was added

Laptop Soundcards
I know the Delta-44 is the "preferred" sound card by many for SDR use, however I wonder which external card has shown the best performance for use with a laptop. The SB Audigy 2 NX USB and the SB

Rocky v1.1
Hi Guys, I loaded the Rocky software last night. I was suprised to find that it seemed to make a better receiver with the SoftRock40 than the Flex software. Is it all in the mind? Prehaps the Flex

Using SDR for study
I don't know about you guys but I have had a great time using my SoftRock40 to study the band conditions. I have identified all kinds of noise sources within my shack, ethernet cables, battery

Re: Software Defined Superhet
The first device in the received signal's path determines the system's noise figure. If it's a DBM, then the noise figure can't be any better than 6 dB. Putting a low noise preamp in front of the DBM

Re: Software Defined Superhet
I would 'not' use a pre-amplifier stage. In the QEX article a gain of 6 was obtain from the input transformer which should be enough to overcome the losses in the BPF. Need to run the AADE program to

Rocky 1.1 crash
Thanks for the release of the new Rocky 1.1 code. Good stuff!! I've just started experimenting with it using some recorded .wav file signals. I am finding it works great for about 30 seconds or so and

Re: Software Defined Superhet
If you are going to put a pre-amplifier in front of the QSD that I would suggest a better pre-amplifier than a MMic chip. They don't have the best IP3 figures in the world and can have a lot of noise.

Connection to Delta-44
I'm just getting round to connecting the SR-40 to my M-Audio Delta44 card. How are people doing this? I can either use 3.5 mm to 1/4" jack adapters or a couple of 1/4" jack plugs and cable. I've got a
