Need SoftRock Lite II Combined Receiver Kit instructions for 40m
Ordered the "SoftRock Lite II Combined Receiver Kit" from fivedash.com and received it yesterday. Project not starting off well, I am having trouble following the instructions. I'd like to construct a

Re: quisk starting to work...
Hi Ross, What version of fldigi are you using. I've been running it for a while and I have been completely unaware it would work with I-Q radios (SDR). Did I overlook something? Maybe there is a

Re: quisk starting to work...
Thought I'd put in my 2c worth on this one. FLdigi has a OS-X port of it's software suite. You can find it on http://w1hkj.com/Fldigi.html and I do know you can use hamlib to support Softrock radios.

Re: quisk starting to work...
Hi Syd, That¡¯s what I found out too. It looks like Ham Radio and Mac OS X are in parallel universes with very little interaction. So I will keep searching, and playing with it, but use a VM running

Re: quisk starting to work...
Looks that way Jean-Paul, OSX has hardly ever raised its head on SDR. The only ones I have come across is on the opehpsdr forum, JavaSDR for HPSDR and MacSDR (link broken), both for HPSDR/SDR100. SDRX

Re: softrock40
David Again we miscommunicate. The only measurements for which I use HDSDR are for signal levels, and then only after after calibration against a -73 dBm standard. Any noise readings from HDSDR are

Re: softrock40
Using the AF FFT in HDSDR is not valid for absolute noise measurements. It's fine for many types of relative measurements. All I was trying to look at was the ability to increase OpAmp gain. It seemed

Re: softrock40
David (I hope this is not a double post.... I replied but an hour later I don't see it here) I think we have a miscommunication. -130 dBm is the signal level that resulted in a 3 dB S+N/N value as

Re: softrock40
I selected 2.9Hz as the RBW because it resulted in -130dBm which matches your results and makes things easier to compare for this conversation. I wasn't trying measure absolute values, just trying to

David My Peaberry V2 is 9000 miles away operating as W8TOD by VNC so I cannot duplicate your tests. You mention however that you are using HDSDR for your measurements. You can get some fantastic

Re: softrock40
Interesting stuff Roger! I think there are improvements that can be made in the op amps. What has led me to put that on hold is the evidence that the overall receiver noise figure, in a lab

Re: softrock40
I ran some tests. Reference signal is on 10m @ -73dBm from an Elecraft XG3. Measurements are from HDSDR with an averaged FFT using RBW of 2.9Hz. The SoftRock is an Ensemble II with an EMU 0204. The
