Great for the radios/scanners not good for desk space. In this new change, I found smaller narrow standard rack boxes...

    Strange signals on SDR#

    I just got my sdr a few days ago and while scrolling through the spectrum i found some strange signals. It's a continuous transmission and it's not digital or at least not something dsd can decode. Does anyone know what this is?
