The transformer wall warts are not regulated and will output circa 1.4X the rated voltage at no load, so ¡°12V¡± has 16V output at the very low current draw of a Softrock Ensemble RX. A ¡°9V¡±

Re: please help me with Softrock Ensemble RX II interference source
Hi Alan,
No, stereo mix/ mic, etc are not active.? I've turned off everything except what the card and SDR use.? Next step will be to switch out the SDRs since I have an identical one here.? See

Re: please help me with Softrock Ensemble RX II interference source
Jon,
This seems like you have a microphone active?
Or, I wonder if you have "Stereo Mix" or, "Listen to this Device" set in Sound Properties or somewhere. This gives an echo effect.
It will not

Re: have not been able to get the LF Ensemble RX II working correctly in HDSDR
Actually, I figured it out.? All this time, it appears I've had the HF and not the LF second unit.? A simple counting of the turns of the bandpass filters was the answer.
Sorry to waste folks time

Re: have not been able to get the LF Ensemble RX II working correctly in HDSDR
Jon,
Then it is constructed as a normal HF Ensemble.
Has it the extra chip? If so then there must be a link to make or break.

Re: please help me with Softrock Ensemble RX II interference source
The important connection where the ground loop current is transformed into the interference voltage is from the SR audio output to the soundcard input.
Try using a VERY short audio cable, with good
