Re: HELP - New Winows 11 laptop and SDR#

That was not clear to me in his rambling. This still leaves the question about WHY he was looking for SDRs with Zadig rather than Device Manager.

I will try to make the slider "exponential" instead of linear. This will give more control over the slow speed.

The signal path is normalized to the same gain. Check the settings of your plugins.

Hi!

I miss RDS Data logger in the latest versions of Airspy SDR Studio with community plugins.

Is there any possibility to add this plugin to feauture versions of Airspy SDR Studio?

Stateside if one operates more than 10kHz (+/-5kHz)  wide audio bandwidth, you'll be QRM'ed by the station on the adjacent channel just 10kHz above or below. Especially at night when there is a BC visible on just about every channel.

I only wish I had placed the amplified speakers/subwoofer onto my primary listening computer (old i5 laptop) years ago. The sub woofer makes a big improvement in audio quality!

Re: Streaming Airspy Data to MATLAB #airspy_rx #airspyhfplus #airspydiscovery

Thank you for sharing. This can be very useful for some applications. 
Streaming Airspy Data to MATLAB #airspy_rx #airspyhfplus #airspydiscovery

michael.shafer@...
 
Edited

We have a project where we wanted to stream Airspy data directly into Matlab in real time. We wanted full bandwidth access to the incoming data, but channelized in a way that would allow us to switch between the different channels. I have seen others ask questions here related to getting airspy data into Matlab, with most of the solutions requiring data to be recorded and then post-processed. While our channelizer code is written in Matlab, it can be compiled as an executable so that it can be run independently from Matlab. We provide a script to do the compiling in our repo if you have Coder installed. This then frees up Matlab to process the channelized data using the DSP toolbox (for those of us who might want to use Matlab). 

We pipe from airspyhf_rx to netcat, which sends the data to the channelizer via UDP packets. The channelizer function then decimates and channelizes the data and serves each channel on a separate port for other applications.

airspyhf_rx -> netcat -> our custom Channelizer -> Multiple UDP ports for your code to receive data on

I am posting these here, as I am sure there are others out there that would like a way to bring Airspy data into Matlab in real time. There is a lot more information about this airspyhf_channelize code at the repo here: https://github.com/dynamic-and-active-systems-lab/airspyhf_channelize/blob/main/README.md

FYI: While we called this airspyhf_channelize, this code should work for Airspy R2 radios as well assuming that airspy_rx packages the data stream equivalently to airspyhf_rx.

The Plugins folder of the archive contains BasebandRecorder, FrequencyScanner, IFRecorder, NetRemote, FreqMan, IFProcessor, MeteorDemodulator and ShortWaveInfo.

Do I have the wrong package?

This recording sounds extremely strange!

The amount of noise in the recording is totally unlike what a 32dB SNR would deliver.
The noise also sound full of phasing and artifacts, as if it has nothing to do with Gaussian atmospheric noise but (my guess) another digital source.

Opening the file in an audio processing program (Izotope RX) reveals that your filtered wanted signal (300-3500Hz) is masked by a very wideband noise signal which seems to be mixed in with the SDR output. So the SDR audio is combined with an overlaying noise source.

I would check system settings and audio/mixer routing before starting an old vs. new comparison.
SDR# has all the tools to sound like any radio you like.
