SDR Console and Spectrum Lab
Posted: Sun Jul 31, 2022 11:05 am
Hi
So the setup.
I'm using a Moxon Antenna from UKRAA and a PreAmp provided by Brian C and an RSPDuo, all connected to a Win10 laptop which runs
SDR Console v3
Spectrum Lab
Dimension 4
VAC
Oh and i'm based in Sydenham, South London some 126.67 miles or 203.85 km
So my SDR Console works fine and captures the carrier which tends to fade in and out, I also get aircraft reflections and of course the odd Meteor as one would expect. Using a VAC I connect SDR Console to Spectrum Lab which displays what SDR Console sees with the advantage of course that it logs everything along with screenshots etc
So some screenshots of events captured on SDR Console and Spectrum Lab
0753SDRC - SDR Console
0743_2sl
So the system clearly works however work needed on Spectrum Lab, due to the direct carrier fading in and out and aircraft reflections its capturing its huge numbers of events that are not meteors - can we tweak either SDR Console or Spectrum Lab to reduce the amount of false positives ?
In the future there will be a dedicated designed Receiver (in kit form eventually) however not everyone will want that and it would be good to get a SL script that will work - Please note im using the SDR Console with a VAC as currently SL does not support my RSPDuo
Thoughts and feedback appreciated
Kind Regards
