I'm reminded that we had some fairly close lightning strikes and power failures last autumn while I was away. Maybe there is a connection?

Bueno! It runs fine now and I have a whole bunch of new controls and labels to learn about. The WSPR decoder runs ok, or doesn't freeze now but for some strange reason isn't finding many signals tonight. I'll watch this over a few days to see how …

First to Martin I think the divisions could be as small as 0.5dB!! I rather thought this with the FT-857 was so, very similar to the FT-290R. LA8AK had a very good mod for the S-meter cct in that rigo. JKS - I won't be adjusting to match the FT-85…

It looks as if there are two threads, no.778 and no.827, dealing with these very similar conditions. Thanks for the info and advice Martin, I'm slowly working through cabling permutations and lots of ferrite rings. I've gotten another KiwiSDR with …

Martin, ref yours of 21 Sept. You are very right. It can be very boring standing watch on the nav bridge of a fishing vessel, having say set the nets or lines and then lying/bouncing around to guard them for the requisite 12-24-36 hrs before calling…

Regarding the use of a direct link KiwiSDR to PC or Laptop. It didn't work at all. Also no one I know has a spare switch for me to borrow, will I have to buy one?? And I see that someone else has also commented on a very similar situation. See -D…

Bonjour J-Luc These 'birdies' are apparently from the same source as those I have commented on, my measurements are concentrated on 23125-23127KHz. They sound very similar! The ones I measure around have two major peaks about 32dB above noise and t…

I put the KiwiSDR back into it's cabinet yesterday and was surprised to see the noise floor (at 23127) had dropped from about -120-130dB down to -150dB. Silly numbers! has anybody else noticed a similar change? And the spurious levels seem to have d…

More 30/60KHz spurious signals. I have a KiwiSDR with BBG that was purchased as a set. It is supplied from a 5V 3.5A linear psu. After sorting out the interfacing to the network, it worked. I have a choice of two antennae, a 12m longwire, or a P…
