Just looking at sdr, might order one of these. What is the most popular windows software to use with it if you just what to use it as a receiver? LSB USB & digital. Does Spectravue allow you to do all that?
Tnx, KB7ADL
Vince, I've been using SDR# with my FunCube Dongle Pro and have been very pleased with it's performance and the available plug-ins. Here's the site: http://sdrsharp.com/
And some more info at: http://www.pe0sat.vgnet.nl/sdr/sdr-software/sdrsharp/
Primarily I've been using it as a panadapter to monitor the first IF of my FT-847.

Thanks Ken,
That was my next question, hit send on the first email too soon. I was wondering if anyone was using it with outdoor antenna's & preamp with any success, or if it's mainly only useful for tapping off the I.F. on another receiver.

Vince, it works very well with rotating yagis and preamps!
Here is my uggested software list, from easiest to get running, to more complex and full featured:
SDRSharp HDSDR SDR-Radio V2
It's a great device. Also makes nice panadapter, but it's a great receiver by all means.

Vince,
I have as a test used it with my regular M2 antennas and external preamps with no issues. It compares very favorably with the $4k rig, and caused no problem when operating mode-J.

Hello Vince
The FUNcube Dongle Pro plus makes a very nice satellite receiver with the SDR – Radio Console V2. It allows an advanced analysis of all signals received in the 96 kHz Dongle’s bandwidth and you can record all the bandwidth as an IQ recording and playback it later.
You can use an outdoor antenna with preamplifier. In fact, the FUNcube Dongles can power a preamplifier through the feed cable. If you want to use a shorted circuit antenna without preamplifier like a Slim Jim, you should turn off the bia in the software.
73! Hector, CO6CBF
