The LNA I mentioned in my previous post, well it’s a #Nooelec sawbird H-Line amplifier. About 41dB gain, centered around 1420MHz.

Look promising indeed 🙂

2023-02-13 received the #FT8 QSO of the #3Y0J the #BouvetIsland DXpedition. Challenging reception from a pile of signals on 17m. Distance - 12266 km. Urban SWLing in #Vilnius with #sdrplay RSPdx, #nooelec LaNA HF & DIY NCP Loop (in a balcony), SDRUno, JTDX.

Nothing fancy, but I've impressed a few pilots and bios by showing them what SDR can do. Had it out the bunkhouse window listening for plane arrivals on air and so I knew when to start dinner for everyone. I forget how even basic things can be cool. #SDR #Nooelec

2023-01-27 #SWRadiogram on 15770 kHz. SINPO 33433. SWLing in #Vilnius with #sdrplay #RSPdx, #nooelec LanaHF & DIY loop antenna (indoors), SDRUno, Fldigi.

Here is my current #radiosonde setup. One SDR is 'missing' as it was installed/in use at the time of this photo, so this is the 4 #SDR upgrade that we did a few weeks back.
Just want to test the orange dongles with their inbuilt LNAs to scratch an itch.
Don't need the gain really and most times, more gain is always worse.
I have 3 of the new #nooelec v5's coming soon. They will be the real test.
Screenshot of tracking 3 sondes at once and the Vegas one is a nice distance.

2023-01-20 #SWRadiogram on 15770 kHz. Good reception, SINPO 43444. Text - 100%. The one image shift is due to my laptop's "sleep" mode. SWLing in #Vilnius with #sdrplay RSPdx, #nooelec LanaHF & DIY #Youloop (indoors), SDRUno, Fldigi.

An #Airspy HF+ and a #Youloop antenna is very portable, and gets you very broad frequency receive coverage.

#Nooelec has some fun SDR parts too.

The ARROW club is doing a group build of a "tape measure Yagi" antenna, optimized for 2 meters and very directional. That's a transmit and a receive antenna, and when I get it built I hope to take to to the top of a parking structure and point it at repeaters far away.

2023-01-06 #SWRadiogram on 15770 kHz. Poor reception, a lot of noise, interference from other digital transmitter, SINPO 23222. SWLing in #Vilnius with #sdrplay RSPdx, #nooelec LanaHF & DIY magnetic loop (indoors), SDRUno, Fldigi.

Some FT8 DX from the U.S.A are heard in #Vilnius this evening on 20m. About 9400km is the farthest. SWLing in #Vilnius with #SDRPlay #RSPdx, #nooelec Lana HF & DIY #Youloop (indoors), SDRUno & Jtdx .

#nooelec LanaHF & DIY #Youloop (indoors), SDRUno, Fldigi. Merry Christmas!

2022-12-16 #SWRadiogram on 15770 kHz. SINPO 21222: severe interference from another digital transmission, noise and ...the signal disappeared. SWLing in #Vilnius with #airspy HF+Discovery, #nooelec Lana HF & DIY #Youloop (indoors), Fldigi.

Whole #sdr family is here, and I think I have room for one more before end of year... #antsdr #nooelec #nesdr #rtlsdrblog #airspy #sdrplay #leobodnar #gpsdo #hackrf #greatscottgadgets #adalm-pluto

Ooo, new #Nooelec #RTLSDR dongles are in! NESDR SMArt v5 (black with rainbow text), NESDR SMArteeXTR (silver with yellow text), and RTL-SDR Blog v3 (larger silver, no text).

I am almost done getting SDRangel compiled and installed in the Linux environment on my Asus Chromebook. I am hoping to use the Nooelec Smartee/HamiItUp upconverter and VeGA barebones with the software...
