According to the experts, in this article, 10 to 40 percent or 2000 to 8000 lbs of the Chinese space lab will re-enter the earths atmosphere. Not to worry most of it will be in pieces.....https://www.theverge.com/2017/12/31/16830890/chinese-space-station-tiangong-1-debris-falling-to-earth

SDR - Software Defined Radio / Re: SDR receiver basic questions

« on: March 02, 2018, 2101 UTC »

Josh has a good point. I have a Kenwood TS480 and I use a cheap RTL Dongle that is fed by the 1st IF stage of the TS480. The dongle is then connected to the laptop RS232 port. I run HDSRD software for the SDR display and use Omni-rig for rig (interface) control software. Both Omni-rig  and HDSDR are free. Omni-rig supports the following transceivers and radios....

•TS-440, TS-480, TS-570, TS-590, TS-690, TS-850, TS-870, TS-930, TS-2000, all other Kenwoods
•FT-100D, FT-450, FT-747, FT-757, FT-817, FT-840, FT-847, FT-857, FT-897, FT-900, FT-920, FT-950, FT-990, FT-991, FT-1000, FT-1000MP, FT-2000, FT-9000, FTDX-3000, FT-DX5000MP
•IC-78, IC-275H, IC-703, IC-706MKII, IC-706MKiiG, IC-718, IC-725, IC-726, IC-728, IC-735, IC-737, IC-738, IC-746, IC-746Pro, IC-751,IC-756, IC-756Pro, IC-756ProII, IC-756ProIII, IC-761, IC-765, IC-775, IC-781, IC-821, IC-910, IC-970D, IC-7000, IC-7100, IC-7200, IC-7300, IC-7315, IC-7410, IC-7600, IC-7610, IC-7700, IC-7800, IC-7850, IC-7851, IC-9100, IC-R75, IC-R8500, IC-R9000, IC-M70
•CODAN, Elecraft K2, Elecraft K3, Ten-Tec Eagle, Ten-Tec Paragon II, Ten-Tec Orion, Ten-Tec Jupiter, Ten-Tec Omni VI+, Ten-Tec Omni VII, TenTec RX-350, JST-245, DX-77, NRD-535(DG), PowerSDR, Perseus, FRG-100, ZS-1, Elad-FDMSW2, ADT-200A, AOR AR5000, AOR AR8600, SmartSDR

Lastly, you may not need to tap the IF stage if your radio has a receive out and a receive in. Check you-tube to find this method of hook up.
