Equipment / Monitor interference over my SDR RX.
« on: April 27, 2021, 2029 UTC »
When I run my RTL_SDR off sdr console V3, I operate my laptop from a secondary monitor via a HDMI cable. My loop antenna sits on my desk right next too my monitor; I'm getting terrible interference from my monitors signal, over the SDR I'm running. Do know how I go about eliminating this interference, generating from the monitor ?

Doesn't pick up the same frequency @ 29.932.100 from the same antenna ?

09:45z - 10:00z stopped @ 10z hrs just to begin repeating within 5 seconds after the 10hrs z; yet the tone changed in sound not freq. TX sounds as data transfer?

Thur Aug 8th 20:09z - 22:00z S5 to over 7
I believe this sig to be a satellite, signal was best received on 12.749 USB, the info I found on this freq, states a TX @ 12.750, yet no description as to source. Transmission was definitely satones.

What type of transmission are these sounds ?
I've ruled out radar's already.

Equipment / Cat6 wire for RX antenna
« on: October 07, 2018, 1518 UTC »
8 wires = 4 twisted pair
What kind band range would cat6 receive?
I've been suggested to wrap multiple loops around the bedroom window, yet my issue lies in; will cat6 work for RX?

Equipment / Mag loop ANT - DIY build
« on: September 02, 2018, 1346 UTC »
So, I've got a 7'- 1/2"dia piece of coaxCable Impedance 50 ohm ±2 ohm
Capacitance 23.0 pF/ft | 75.5 pF/m
dc Resistance, Inner Conductor 1.476 ohms/km | 0.450 ohms/kft
dc Resistance, Outer Conductor 1.903 ohms/km | 0.580 ohms/kft
dc Test Voltage 4000 V
Inductance 0.190 µH/m | 0.058 µH/ft
Insulation Resistance 100000 Mohms•km
Jacket Spark Test Voltage (rms) 5000 V
Operating Frequency Band 1 – 8800 MHz
Peak Power 40.0 kW
Power Attenuation 2.325
I would like the bandwidth as wide as possible; I like 40m & 80m. Parts, tuner, capacitor ? Good cost efficient idea's requested.

I'm running my ICOM7200 in the bedroom, I'm needing a better antenna for greater RX, in hopes of rigging antenna in room for RX ONLY ?
