It LIVES!
After 3 long days of waiting for my softrock to arrive, it finally did! Now I won't be waiting at the mailbox to meet the mailman!
Took me much longer than 3 hours to build, but I made some errors

Re: Softrock up and running but need a little guidance
Changing from "DirectSound" to "MME" also fixed the popping problem
here.

Re: A few more things
Hi Chris,
Not being able to null the image is usually associated with I and Q not being about the same amplitude and not being at around 90 degrees phase relationship to each other. This problem can

Re: A few more things
Hello Chris,
My answers in line
Hmm -- not sure the freq calibration will have any effect with the soft rock as that is used to calibrate the DDS reference osc, and there ain't one in a SoftRock

A few more things
Hi Guys,
I am working on getting this little receiver up and running but noticed a
few things I wanted to ask of those more experienced.
I connected my generator and set it to 7.040 Mhz at -60 dBm

Re: Softrock up and running but need a little guidance
Hi Bruce,
That fixed it! The background would pop and shift levels even with no
antenna or signal generator connected. Quite annoying when listening to a
faint signal. Now that I got that taken

Re: SR-40 Mechanical Assembly Picts
Looks good, Chuck. Mounting it vertical is a great
idea. I think I'm going to do that with a Rock-Mite,

Re: Softrock up and running but need a little guidance
Hi, Chris.
Re: The "popping sound" and shift in signal levels- (when you say
the signal level goes from -140 dBm to -50 dBm during these jumps, I
am sure you are talking about the background

Re: Softrock up and running but need a little guidance
Hearing signals -- that's a good sign.
As to the accuracy of the power meter -- it's entirely inaccurate until you calibrate it as it is dependent on the sound card. Once calibrated it should be

Re: Softrock up and running but need a little guidance
Chris:
I put my softrock on a calibrated HP siggen and got a very accurate
reading with a -80 dBm input. You may have a problem with your input
filtering (got the 2 inductors switched maybe?). I

Re: SR40 performance and musings...
Good thoughts, Stan.
I agree, the performance of this little rcvr is surprising,
considering the simplicity of the hardware. The filtering provided by
the software makes for a real powerful set of

SR40 performance
I have been surprised that no one has been talking about the
