Hi all, I read one of the posts here recently which mentioned disconnecting the antenna and connecting a dummy load to compare noise floor. I have just done that test with my Airspy HF+ Discovery, SDR# shows a flat line at -127dB (hopefully see a screenshot attached). I'm probably not understanding correctly but as the sensitivity is listed at around -140dB, shouldn't that flat line be at that point or is this a different measurment? Would appreciate help to understand. Thanks Martin

Recently bought and HF+ Discovery. Running Win 10. Antennas are a 5 element yagi for FM and and Pixel for LW-HF. FM is very distorted. The one in the first image has a LOT of hiss and sounds terrible in general. AM also sound pretty bad as is is choppy and just weird, LSB and USB sound just ok. What am I doing wrong? I bet that the fix is something simple but I have no idea as to what it is. Attached are audio files of both stations Zack N8FNR

Greetings, As reported, the current beta version 1921 (13 Nov 24), has caused some plugins to no longer operate. It appears that his happened when DotNet9 was introduced. Two plugins that I have enjoyed using are FreqMan and Mode Presets, that were developed/updated/whatever by The Wraith 2008. Both of these plugins are excellent and I am really appreciative to TW2008 for his efforts (like the efforts of Prog and the other plugin developers). It was suggested by a user at Radio Reference to use Frequency Manager, which is in the basic installation package, instead of FreqMan. Unfortunately, this plugin does not do scanning. FreqMan would scan a frequency range or scan discrete frequencies (channels from scanner terminology). I used discrete scanning a lot for the VHF/UHF amateur stations in my area. Then when I realized Mode Presets didn’t work. I thought that Frequency Manager could replace Mode Presets. However, Frequency Manager’s settings for each station/frequency are missing some attributes that I like to set. The attached picture shows the attributes that can be set in Mode Presets. Specifically not being able to set WFM stereo on or off is a real drawback. I do not know who created the Frequency Manager plugin. I would like to email him with some ideas. I know as time moves on, software changes are needed to take advantage of new features and changes made to operating systems. I just find it a shame to lose some of the nice plugins that we have gotten used to. People are very busy these days and have projects they are working on that don’t always align with my or others’ wants. It isn’t the end of the world, we still have great Airspy SDR software program and great Airspy hardware with which we can enjoy our listening endeavors. I just want to say what is on my mind about these topics. Carry on, George, NJ3H

hi, in the new Big Book 2024 on page 104 an S-Meter v2.1.1.1 is mentioned (see image) but I don't understand where you can download the plugin... does anyone know the link? Thank you!

I am glad to announce that we are offering a generous 25% discount for this year's Black Friday. Check it out: https://airspy.com/purchase

Maybe I've missed something in the discussions here, is there a reason "Use full IQ" is not available when connected to spyserver running v1921? I could have overlooked something in the config file. I've had it active before, and I just started noticing it was not available. Thanks!

Improved performance and lower resource utilization, to say the least. Get the beta: https://airspy.com/download

Found this interesting article about changing the size of the YouLoop. http://radio-timetraveller.blogspot.com/2024/09/modding-experiments-with-youloop.html Zack N8FNR

Greetings, I have an issue with a particular station that I get chuffing with. There is a short mp3 attached along with the SDR# screen capture. I am listening to 91.3 MHz using the R2 and SDR# version 1920 from 25 Apr 2024. This situation occurs with one particular station in my area. The signal is very strong here on the FM broadcast band. The station antenna is 653 above average terrain and is running 75,000 watts. I am located about 20 miles from the station in question. The signal strength is 30 above S9 on the S-meter plugin. If you listen closely you will hear some kind of chuffing sound in the background. I have played with the R2 gain control, but I am unable to get rid of it. I have determined that when I uncheck the stereo box within the Radio window, the chuffing sound totally disappears. Rechecking the stereo box, the offending noise returns. I have checked plugins and other settings windows to be sure that none of them have enabled options that would have an audio quality impact. I listened with my RSPdx using SDRuno and there is no such noise even in stereo FM mode. I checked with SDR Console running with the R2. I get the same offensive background sound. Has anyone experienced something like this? Any thoughts you have are most welcome. Tonight: I reinstalled 1920 (into a new subdirectory) and 1921 beta. There wasn't any difference from yesterday. In fact, I didn't even install any plugins other than the ones that are provided with the installation file. I do not notice this happening with other stations. Some of the local low-powered stations require an upward adjustment to the Gain control. As I mentioned, in monaural (stereo unchecked), this problem does not occur. As a workaround, I use the Modes Preset plugin. I cannot get it to turn off stereo when pushing on the station's push button. At one time I had this working correctly. But now it isn't. Same version of Sharp and the plugin. No idea why it isn't working now. This plugin is very nice, though. I have sent a message to The Wraith 2008, but have not heard back as of yet. I really like using the R2 for FM broadcast (and other VHF/UHF stations. I am hoping there can be some resolution to this issue. Any comments or ideas are most welcome. If you want to see a particular screen capture, please let me know. Regards, George, NJ3H Redmond, Oregon USA
