Hi,
Not sure what is the best Forum for this question.
If not here, please just tell me where, and I'll re-post it.
Do listening only, <30 MHz.
Have a SDRPlay RSPdx.
Use a 70 foot horizontal. long wire ant outside, a Balun, and then a coax run into the house.
Using SDRConsole.
Works pretty well, but am convinced i could do a lot better.
The RSPdx is in my Study which also has two other desktop PC's which are on all the time,
as well as my Comcast Router and Modem.
Lots of Ethernet wiring.
Probably picking up all sorts of noise, but I'm not smart enough to figure out from where
exactly. Also, bit too old now to crawl around and to trace all my wiring anymore, etc.
I do have those cylindrical ferrite clip-ons on most everything i could
get to. All the AC power lines, the coax from the Router to the pc's, etc.
Probably helps, but hard to quantify how much.
Was wondering about those ferrite toroids where you run and loop the coax's, etc. once or twice thru them for rf filtering.
Any opinion on these ? Particularly relative to the cylindrical ones i now have all over.
Worth a try ? Why ?
if so, would appreciate any very specific recommendations.
Amazed at the prices on them.
No way i can spend $40 or so for just one !
Cheaper options if you feel worth doing ? Brand, ferrite material, etc. ?
Any thoughts on this, and suggestions, would be most appreciated.
Thanks,
Bob
