found the birdies issue, solution?


 

Well, one of the last remaining issues continued to be birdies, with spacing varying depending upon band so sometimes they might be 20-30 Khz apart, other times more and also more frequent. Tonight, I discovered that is from the other router I use.? For my internet, I use a cat5 cable from the router to the laptop.? When I unplugged the cable, the birdies disappeared.? Now I ask, what can be done?? I guess I could always unplug it when accessing my SDR from the laptop remotely, but was hoping for something better.? I tried cat6 cable.? The tones were not as strong but still present.? Then I placed ferrite cores around the cable and didn't seem to make much difference, then tried the switching supply feeding the router.? No effect either.

Switch to WiFi. Ethernet cables are notoriously bad for radio.
