That is why you should disconnect the antenna at the radio input, silly person. {+_+}

Use your imagination. I walk around until I see something that will work. A coil of polyethylene plumbing tubing could probably add enough beef the result could be stood up or hung and still hold a ci

The loop impedance is (puns intended) complex. The resistance portion is tiny. The reactance component is very high. So matching the antenna requires some imagination due the huge imaginary components

Sorry - too late. I'm done. I don't deal well with impermeable skulls. {+_+}

I see - you can't grab the edge. That's stupid! I use SDRSharp for my FM listening. It's glued to one station and that sidebar is not even showing. It's reduced in size to a usable minimum. It works g

Just grab the edge of that panel and open it out to the right. Then you can adjust until it looks right. {^_^}

#youloop

To put it bluntly and simply, as long as the noise increases by mid single digit dB or more when you connect the antenna vs a dummy load, improving the antenna SWR will do nothing for received SNR. It

Is there a noise reduction tool running on the community edition that is not in the regular edition? That will give a warbly effect. {^_^}

Tape it to the sun screen. But don't fold it up. That will fatigue break the conductors. {o.o}

#youloop

Find some thin tubing that can be formed into a loop using a heat gun. That can be used as a form for the antenna. {^_^}

#youloop

Which observation has prompted me to think about what happens to a broadcast station's pattern when the ground system is modestly disrupted by the ground going dry under conditions of drought. I suspe

Probably not. As I mentioned I live in a horridly noisy area. And our largish solar array, UPSs, computers, and networks do not help. {^_^}

Cathal is correct. You are flubbering about nonsense. The ONLY advantage coherent or predictable signals can provide is the ability to average the signal for longer periods of time. That effectively r

Cathal explicitly stated that his conclusions presumed the incoming noise was higher than than the receiver's noise -- switching from dummy load to the test item raises noise by 5dB or more. (You migh

I think you're on target. For a transmitting loop you probably want to make it out of copper plumbing pipes. (I suppose copper plated would also work; but, who makes it?) Then you need a way to match

That's fine as long as the people purchasing prove to themselves it will be worth it by replacing their youloop with a short or dummy load and have the received noise drop several dB. If received nois

There is a very clean solution. Fix libusb. As it stands all you can do is play a game selecting which bugs you can tolerate. {o.p}

There is little point to making the switch. In order to use special features the program using it must change to use new API entry points. About the only worthwhile change in past years has been sligh

Speaking of old analog designs, dig up descriptions of super-regenerative receivers. Imagine what they do when two of them are near each other. Modulate one of them. Do you hear it in the other? What
