i'll check with the battery removed this evening.... i'm guessing that you are correct in that the power switch does not fully cut power.
-
will the proximity of the GPS antenna to the mag-loop also be causing a potential inductance? that could be it
-
it's not. unless the magloop can pickup 6+ satellites and lock on! So, assuming i can connect the devices correctly, would this point to some inductance? the gps antenna wire is running parallel to the RF antenna wire... but geez, my new RF antenna …

https://forum.kiwisdr.com/index.php?p=/discussion/comment/20002#Comment_20002 Question... how far away from my KIWISDR and/or Antenna should i generally be concerned with RFI/EMI emitters? i don't expect to be completely anechoic, but i would like t…

if i get similar results, i'll try to hunt-down the culprits.

Thank you both for your input. One last thing i'm doing this evening to compare is i'm buiding a Pi5 to run OpenWebRX+ with an RSPDX-R2 from the same location, power supply, amp and antenna. I have been running a Spy+ as well from a similar location…

I have to give back the keysight tomorrow, so i hooked it back up with the apple ps.... the pattern is the same. i'm suspecting something going on with the board perhaps. again, it was picking up signal quite nicely for the first day i had it, and i…

pw sent via dm. thx!

Great points... with no antenna hooked up, pattern is gone. nice and clean. i hooked up the lab power supply from above, and although the signals are much cleaner at frequency, the pattern at wide band is still there. it tells me that i could use a…
-
will do... specially if the use of this lab grade power supply still gives the problem... if not, then i know it's the PS and i will get a better/linear one instead.
-
Will get to use this beauty tonight to discard power supply issues... if this PS doesn't fix the issue, then i can safely say it's not a PS problem! https://forum.kiwisdr.com/uploads/173/6X589WW7F2R8.png

https://forum.kiwisdr.com/index.php?p=/discussion/comment/19982#Comment_19982 Oh, missed the first question... also from an apple 20W charger (different one)... but, tried a different LNA with internal battery, as well as without an LNA. Even tried …

https://forum.kiwisdr.com/index.php?p=/discussion/comment/19989#Comment_19989 Ouch, yeah.... i am using the recommended 20W Apple branded iPhone charger.... again, it was fine for about a day, and it is getting progressively worse since. so, maybe i…

https://forum.kiwisdr.com/index.php?p=/discussion/comment/19987#Comment_19987 Not around me.... i'm severely urban. but perhaps it is lower pitch.... i'll take a recording if the power supply doesn't do the trick.
-
yes, it does seem like arching to me.... it is a constant tick-tick.... The kiwi is not public yet.... i have borrowed a Keysight E36312A to test it tonight.

Thank you Martin... i will do so this evening. i did find a wifi extender that has an ethernet port to see if i could get the Kiwi further away from my main wifi router... the results are teh same... even with an extra long ethernet cable (cable als…
