Need Help to setup SOftrock RXTX6.3 with MOBO 4.3 & PowerSDR2.4.4


 

Hi Good Morning to all,
I have a working RXTX 6.3 (Delta 44 Sound card) with MOBO 4.3 with 20W HPSDR PA which was in turn driving a Furuno PA to output 300W.
I had stopped using this for last 6 years & want to put it back into service.
However i have forgotten the settings? to configure PowerSDR for the SI579 USB Adapter.
I do have the PE0FKO & SV1EIA drivers installed, but am having trouble changing the band & frequencies using PowerSDR.
Google search for this leads to the below link which is unavailable:?
Request if someone in this group can share the instruction to setup the PowerSDR 2.4.4 with Mobo 4.3 & RXTX 6.3.
Thanks in Advance.

That link is good, goes to Do you see it? Is something else missing?

Thanks Alan, the link I shared was strangely not opening for me.?
What you sent has opened up.
Let me try & use it & in case i need something else, I will get back on this post.

Thanks Alan...?
My RXTX 6.3 with Mobo 4.3 is successfully sorting to action...?
What is more surprising is that the Softrick + Mobo combination is preforming better over 7300 under low signal conditions probably due to the BPF acting as preselector in RX mode aiding the reception &? that its what is missing in 7300...
Thanks again Alan...?

Hello Ravi,

Yes, the basic configuration as used in the Softrock, ie NOT DDC/ DUC, will put the IC7300 in its place where it belongs.

For interest, I regularly get reports from Scottie Globemaster SDR owners telling me about their experience.

Here is one example:

*"I have compared the GM with my IC-7300 . ( SSB and CW )*
**
*It is very significant different : The IC-7300 is like an noise-generator ...*
**
*Stations which can copied on the GM absolutly clear .... they are on the IC-7300 much , much more*
**
*in noise and weak . Ofcourse : Using the same antenna for compare ."*

He then goes on to say after comparing many other receivers :
*"The worst receiver by far ... with the worst signal-to-noise ratio is the IC-7300 !!!! "*
*
*
Not my words !
**

So forget about all these fantastic digital radios with their limited dynamic range,
stick with the 24 bit analog radios with solid Bandpass Filtering if you are interested in performance.

BTW, It is so refreshing to see Yeasu using an analog front end in their very latest SDR radio.
THERE MUST BE A REASON WHY.
LOL , as if they did not know !

Don't be caught up in the digital hipe !

Ed GM3SBC???????

Hi Ed,
Just remembered this post.
What other DDC/DUC radios have you compared against QSD/QSE?

I may be missing something here having compared Softrock/UHFSDR/SR63ng+Mobo etc. vs. HiQSDR,+Preselctor-PA/openHPSDR Hermes/HermesLite2.
DDC/DUC for me proved the winner instantly but after these many years I will put a SR63ng+Mobo-4.3.4 on the air in case I am proved wrong.
