Hello Rob, that is great to hear! A few more details on my setup: I am using a QCX connected to a very cheap USB soundcard connected to a raspberry pi 3B. The loopback device is just software created

Hi Martin, Your use of the AUDIO input feature has stimulated me to raise its priority in debugging of WD 3.0. Also, have you tried using a virtual audio channel as input to WD? Thanks, Rob -- Rob

Great, thank you for providing and maintaining wsprdaemon! It is a very nice standalone solution.

Hi Martin, Thanks for that welcome report. In WD 3.0 I will study how to incorporate your fixes. Rob

Hello, baseband audio is working for me, however, two things needed tweaking beforehand: 1. the name of my soundcard is "plughw:CARD=Loopback,DEV=1" which does not fit into the naming scheme of

OK, after 24 hours run time at -20 dBm output, the clear "winner" was W4HOD in Alabama (USA), spotting me twice in 24 hours. My setup is still running, and at 1742 UTC today another station in the

Ouch, I hate to bombard this group yet again with a post, but my UTC timing was off off today too! I commenced transmitting at 10 microwatts 1506 UTC today (October 6). Promise this will be the last

Correction and an oops...I hit the wrong button on the step attenuator when changing power a few minutes before 1600 UTC, and so had the power running 10 dB too high, at 0.1 mW, and K9AN "snuck in"

After nearly 24 hours running at 50 microwatts (-13 dBm), there were still 8 stations who heard me, though the total spot count and geographical diversity is narrowing. And some stations were hanging

Hi Bruce, well, we sure have to believe the statements on power sent :-). I myself on TX am using the WSPRlight flexi and I checked the power with a spectrum analyser. The settings seem to be about

Hi Bruce, that is a great idea! Will have to try this also. I once have done a similar test to see the minimal power to reach a DX station. That would be an indication on how good the antenna is at

Hello Bruce Nice to read of your experiments, and I look forward to seeing the results of your 50 microwatts and below transmissions. The attachment is a screenshot of three plots from the WsprDaemon
