Apparently the upcoming Ranger has an aluminium case. I have an HF+ Discovery in the plastic case.
What with all of the interference in the average home, we try to shield the link between the antenna and the radio in coaxial cable. Is this not wasted effort if the radio itself isn't shielded?
Would I have anything to gain by carefully wrapping the HF+ in foil?
Cheers.
I bought Airspy HF+discovery. the case is alluminum. does far better at noise reduction than two Noo dongles I have. Better dymic range too.
I like the notion of following development for new radios, but to predict when this Ranger will hi the market is premature.
After R/D, then prototyping, then testing, then you can say you have a new kid on the block and have an idea of relese dates.
Surely there are hardware and sofware bugs to be worked out.
The specs do a lot of talk, now if it will walk the walk, I will certainly be grabbing one. My discovery of course is a keeper, it's been great.
Like all SDRs though, the drivers are critical, they can make or break an sdr.
