Amen to that.  I would have bought into a WinRadio years ago if they weren't...ahem..."win".

How about direct sdr control and qrss in multimode?

SDR - Software Defined Radio / O software gurus...rtl_power and waterfall displays...

« on: September 05, 2014, 0258 UTC »

Could some explain why most RTLSDR software that displays frequency/signal/time data is limited to a couple of MHz in the frequency domain while something like rtl_power can sample across a much larger swath of bandwidth (granted not displaying in real-time)?  I think rtl_power breaks up the sampled frequency into chunks, but is it sampling these simultaneously?  If so...why doesn't software like gqrx let you do that?

SDR - Software Defined Radio / Re: Afedri dual channel receivers

« on: September 05, 2014, 0254 UTC »

I'm tempted by the dual receiver simply on the cost per unit basis (hey, only $100 for another SDR!) but in all likelihood would simply use one receiver on my H-800 and the other on my (eventual) skyloop.  If that's the case then an antenna switcher is lots cheaper....

Any idea how it addresses the separate channels?  Different IP addresses or something?
