SDR - Software Defined Radio / A *few* questions
« on: January 03, 2019, 0355 UTC »
So I am new to SDR. I got mine recently and have been playing around with it, even put up a random wire room antenna (Just goes around the perimeter of the top of my room. Fancy, right?). Onto the questions:
P.S. If you have any tips, tricks, or useful info for someone who is receiving in the Omaha NE area, feel free to message me or reply here.
- I get these odd tones that scroll in the opposite direction of where I am scrolling when I am scrolling. What is this and/or what is the cause?
- Sometimes I lose the ability to receive anything and I just get static. Why does this do that?
- Any activity I do see is just random noises when I tune into them. Like a digital signal. Is this just because no one is doing anything on the frequencies I can receive?
- I often see stations that are in the FM band repeated multiple times on different frequencies. Like a radio stations at 89.7 MHz is being received at 200 MHz. What on is the reason for that?
P.S. If you have any tips, tricks, or useful info for someone who is receiving in the Omaha NE area, feel free to message me or reply here.
