A question on using HF on SDR?

[davidv555]

Hello radio fans,

I have a question about sdr as I am new to it.

I found a good article on setting up HF on the sdr vlog2 dongle.

Once I configured it for HF will these settings work when listening to VHF and UHF? Or do I need to revert the settings back to the default?

Thanks, I appreciate any help.

It would be helpful to post the article so we can see if the settings in the article are general or specific to HF monitoring.

I can't find the article, but this one is better as it is from rtl-sdr.com.

Anyway according to the article I do have to revert the settings when going back to VHF/UHF and higher.

Anyway according to the article I do have to revert the settings when going back to VHF/UHF and higher.

Main thing is switching back to Quadrature Sampling from Direct Sampling (Q branch).
So normally switching between the 2 modes is quite simple.
