Re: LINEARITY - MEASUREMENTS
I've confirmed a number of times using a number of professional spectrum analyzers that the signal generator is putting out what the knobs indicate. The non-linearity is not due to the HP8648C. My

Hi Richard, Great! That's looking much better than mine indeed. I'll use your settings and see if it reflects the results, and do some more tinkering. Yes I know about the article from KA7OEI. I think

Re: LINEARITY - MEASUREMENTS
Dave The non-linearity isn¡¯t in SDR Console for sure. You¡¯re using a single frequency stepped calibration where we use Jim Sky¡¯s stepped wide band noise calibrator spanning ~8 MHz. If you have a

LINEARITY - MEASUREMENTS
I was intrigued by the calibration of the standard RJ setup. While I do not use that setup, I decided to measure what I use for other purposes, including RJ. So, have a read of the attachment. I'm

Re: Views of the Solar "Storm" from the Dark Sky Observatory May 13, 2025
Richard. Your right. In the SDRc2RSS middle window you will see where the RX888 noise floor is. It¡¯s probably around -135 or so. In that case you¡¯re going to have to set the dB threshold to -140

Re: Views of the Solar "Storm" from the Dark Sky Observatory May 13, 2025
Hi Huub, I worked a bit more on the calibration today, and had a bit more success.? You can see the result in the attached image.? It is a bit closer to linearity than yours, but still a bit flat on

Re: Calibration curve using RSP1B
Alfi Your calibration looks great Alfi.? Raising the dB threshold to -140 makes senes as that matches the receiver noise floor. Thanks. Larry K4LED
