SDRSHarp on linux / mono
#sdrsharp
josybrosy@...
Hi,
I've tried running SDRSharp on my linux (Fedora 25 x64) under mono following the docu http://rtlsdr.org/softwarelinux It seems to work fine except stating (play button). [ERROR] FATAL UNHANDLED EXCEPTION: System.DllNotFoundException: sharkAfter a little digging I found that the shark.dll is a native Windows dll (shark.dll: PE32+ executable (DLL) (GUI) x86-64, for MS Windows) and I have not found any native linux library. Is there a native linux library ? Is there another way getting aktual version of SDR# running under linux ? Are there any older versions of SDR# available (having no native shark.dll) ? Thanks Joe

HF+ WX Reception
Simon Brown
Listening to NOAA-15, Airspy HF+ is the best VHF SDR I have ever used (so far).
Will get WxToImg working later today.

I have several, actually.
First, with v3.0 I can't get the program to properly recognize my RTL-SDR that has both HF and VHF/UHF capability It works fine with v2.0. Second, there is a tone on top of my input. It follows me when I tune so it is there regardless of frequency. It is either in the com port or the RTL-SDR, I have no clue which. ANY assistance would be greatly appreciated. Fred - KK5AA EM25xh ================================ Fred, I think you have the wrong group, as the group is for Airspy hardware and SDR# software. V2 and V3 likely relate to SDR Console: https://SDR-Radio.groups.io/g/main so I suggest you ask there. 73, David GM8ARV -- SatSignal Software - Quality software written to your requirements Web: http://www.satsignal.eu Email: david-taylor@blueyonder.co.uk Twitter: @gm8arv .

Re: SpectrumSpy with Spyverter?
Anders J. Ørts
Hi Henry,
Thanks for your comments. I wasn't aware of the relationship you mention. Not that it matters much, just curious: If I had wanted the same bandwidth on 20m, I should have used a thinner wire here, I suppose. Or a thicker on 40m. Is that correct? Regards Anders

Hi Anders,
You have just shown for yourself, although you were not looking for it, the relationship between wire-thickness, antenna band-width and frequency.
It would be interesting to see the cheapest and or easiest DIY options for the noise source and the bridge. I have seen numerous such circuits over the years but did not take in the detail.
Tak Henry

Thanks for that input Larry. That's what I wanted to hear. I'll probably pursue the UDOO for my next fun project. Phil - KC5TM

Hello Phil,
I have tested the Airspy Spyverter under Debian X86 64-bit Linux Stretch and Windows 10 on the Udoo X86 Advanced Plus, albeit with a 27" display, and it runs without issues. A 7" touch LCD display is available: https://shop.udoo.org/usa/catalog/product/view/id/93/s/7inch-hdmi-usb-display-touch/category/15/ but I think I'd find it a bit too small for my current visual acuity. I have also tested DXLab connected to an Icom IC-7300, and fldigi with the little Udoo board. The low power consumption makes the Udoo X86 a good choice for battery portable operation. Have fun.

From: UDOO <mailnews@udoo.org> Date: Fri, 28 Jul 2017 7:06:19 +0200 The UDOO team is pleased to announce that the UDOO X86 family of maker boards are now available to purchase directly from their shop, after successfully shipping over five-thousand boards. The crowdfunded open-spec board, combining the computational power of a Quad-Core 64-bit Intel® microprocessor, and the flexibility of the famous Arduino prototyping platform, in using a Intel® Curie™ Arduino™ 101-compatible microcontroller to connect to the physical world. This year’s ‘Hacker Board Survey’ undertaken by Linux.com and LinuxGizmos, revealed much greater interest in x86-based boards, with the UDOO X86 already achieving the top position in this segment. By utilising the x86 ecosystem, the board is capable of running Windows, Android and Linux, including Ubuntu 17.04, and the recently released Debian 9 “Stretch”. Combining this with the extensive board documentation, schematics, and a large supportive community—Users can quickly get started on their applications and projects. The application scenarios for UDOO X86 vary from pure multimedia, allowing for example to create a Kodi media system, to desktop replacement and workstation purposes, or even as a game-streaming machine and retrogaming, for example, Retropie. With an onboard Arduino UNO pin compatible header, the shield options are endless, providing the user with an easy to follow approach of adding features, from a motor shield to an Arduino Touchscreen. The board contains an integrated Intel GPU able to drive up to three 4K screens at the same time, supporting DirectX 12, OpenGL 4.4, and OpenCL 2.0, with hardware decoding of HEVC Main, and H.264 videos. It can also boot from everywhere and gives freedom of expansion and storage, with several options like SATA, SSD, Micro SD, and embedded eMMC. The microcontroller is capable of powering on and off the board. UDOO X86 comes in four models – Basic, Advanced, Advanced Plus and Ultra – all based on the Intel x86 64-bit Quad Core Braswell range of processors. UDOO X86 Basic, with 2 GB of RAM, costs $125, while the most powerful variant, UDOO X86 ULTRA, based on an Intel Pentium N3710 with 8 GB of RAM and up to 2.56 GHz CPU, is $267. Order the UDOO X86 now! https://shop.udoo.org/x86.html https://shop.udoo.org/usa/x86/udoo-x86-advanced-plus.html UDOO X86 ADVANCED PLUS PRICE $165.00 escl TAX/VAT FEATURES UDOO X86 is the New PC: the most powerful x86 maker board ever and an Arduino™ 101-compatible platform, all embedded on the same board. On UDOO X86 you can run all the software available for the PC world, from gaming to video streaming, from graphical editors to professional development platforms, plus all the software or the Arduino™ 101 world, including all the sketches, libraries and the official Arduino™ 101 IDE. You won’t ever worry about lack of drivers or stuff like that. This is a true next-generation computer. It is based on Quad Core 64-bit new-generation x86 processors made by Intel®, designed for the PC domain. Prodigious processors concentrated in 14 nm, with an amount of energy consumption of 5 or 6 Watt. The board can be powered by a DC-jack with a standard 5.5mm/2.1mm barrel jack, internal positive, Voltage 12V ± 5%. This is not included. Alternatively, power can be provided though the VIN pin located on the header. UDOO X86 ADVANCED PLUS includes Screw/Spacers to mount the M.2 SSD and M.2 Wifi/BT.

I've tried larger chunks, up to 1MHz, but even on a 28" 4K monitor, the signals on the spectral display are just too small for my eyes. I'll also be very interested in seeing how well the AirSpy HF+ handles strong signals. One question for you, or really, anybody in the group. I looked through the HF+ documentation for the antenna connector type, but couldn't find anything, or more likely, just missed it. Are they SMA connectors? Jack Metcalfe Stanford, KY

Actually, 640kHz of flat passband.

Hi,
Maximum usable is 550kHz or so, essentially 80% +/- of 768kHz. Could be a bit more…

Hi Alex, Thanks for implementing the support. I will dispatch more hardware as it is produced. It's coming!

Re: airspy hf+ with linux
Hi Ian,
Technically, the Airspy HF+ is already supported in Gqrx because I implemented the gr-osmosdr backend already in July: https://github.com/csete/gr-osmosdr-gqrx/commit/8cd3a5f500f62d7478e91ba4c8403aea788387c7 When somebody gets a chance to test with real hardware and confirm that it works, I will include the patch in a release, and submit it for inclusion in the official gr-osmosdr repository. Then, you never know what else may turn up in the coming months. I heard rumors that Santa will be very generous to Linux SDR users this year :) Alex

Re: HF+
claudio36itus
Hi Simon
just a quick question about HF+ as you already tested this unit...do you think that the HF + can be compared for performance to an Elad Fdm 2 or even a Perseus? What do you think about the general performance? Thanks a million Claudio
