HDSDR and SDR Play2
Just purchased the SDR Play and using HDSDR for the software. I plan on using this for. FM and Linear sats.
I was trying this system out today on the FM sats, and used my D72 to transmit. The sound coming from my HDSDR doesn’t seem as clear as my D72.
What are some tips and tricks (settings) in HDSDR to clear up some of the static and other noise.
Any hints in general would be appreciated.
Thanks.

There are others on here much more familiar with SDR than I am however I would check your filter settings and your bandwidth settings. I have an SDR play and people sound just perfect there's nothing wrong with the way they sound so I'm guessing you have a filter or something somewhere. Also check out SDR Uno it's free for sdrplay and it's a very very very powerful SDR program and it's free so doesn't hurt to check it out. Starting out, however, hdsdr is probably the way to go. Just understand that there's other software that can unlock a lot more potential in your SDR.

Wow! I just tried it with my SDR Play for receive and my Icom-7000 for transmit. It found my Icom without even setting it up and was controlling the Doppler correction right off. I also discovered another cool feature on SDR-Console. It has a graphic equalizer when tweaked properly makes the audio quality sound really nice! Quite a slick interface. Was a little lost for a while then found the help page and it is straight forward and simple. I'm going to try controlling my Az/El rotor next. I will let you know how it fairs. Kudos to Simon for jumping on the band wagon.

Paul, I also have the SDR Play amongst other SDR dongles. My experience was similar to what you are describing with HDSDR. I could never get it sounding anywhere as clear as my Icom. I tried every setting possible.I found SDR Console-ver3 to be much cleaner sounding. I have tried multiple SDR programs and keep coming back to SDR Console as it has been very simple to setup and easy to understand. The user interface is more like using a real radio with greater capabilities. It's free. The programmer takes any amount of donations has Simon needs to feed his dog. http://www.sdr-radio.com

I'd also absolutely recommend SDR-Console -- out of all the programs I've used with my RSP2, I like SDR-Console the best. I've tried CubicSDR, SDRAngel, SDRuno, SDR#, and HDSDR and found SDR-Console to be my favorite.
