SDR - Software Defined Radio / RX-888 and graphic board
« on: September 09, 2021, 1336 UTC »
Users of the RX-888, what is your graphic board/circuit ?

It's very important, as the RX-888 has no FPGA included, and is leaving all the decimation work to the PC. And the special dll in the Windows-PC has to do all that work before sending the decimated data to the standard SDR software.

And that work is not what a standard Intel or AMD processor can do, not not any machine using the standard way of computing. That work has to be done by special units on the graphic board. But as you know, all graphic boards are not equal... and also maybe the dll cannot use all the families of graphic units from different founders.

At first, please reply about the graphic circuit of your PC, with what results, so we get a basis for further investigations.

Equipment / Interesting Chinesium SI4732 Shortwave/FM
« on: September 09, 2021, 1311 UTC »
While they say this is an “Airband” radio, none of the Amazon sellers, nor the SI4732 data sheet, show that it has coverage of 108 thru 136 MHz.  I guess they mean the SW aviation frequencies, not the VHF ones.
'Airband' means 108-136 MHz.
Not on that radio !
Please moderator, remove 'Air' from the subject.
