My IC-718 is still trucking along at a whooping 3.3kHz...
I've been playing around with my new toy... I picked up a $10 SDR Dongle from Amazon last week. Tonight, Using the Freeware HDSDR, I was able to try it out for one of the main reasons I bought it, to use it as a receiver/recorder to tweak my Transmit Audio... As I thought, my rack was a bit out of adjustment (After 2 moves and 3 mic changes, and no one to talk with, I wonder why.....) I think I got it doing OK now...
Audio Makes Radio Fun....
By the looks on my graph, my new Mic (MXL BCD-1) is killing my below 40hz...
Might need to go back to a Condenser...

SDR Dongle
Hey there!
Got interested in learning how you hooked up everything using the SDR dongle to help visualize audio on transmit/receive?
Sure would appreciate a brief on the set-up.
Cheers,

Don't plug the antenna into the SDR and adjust it until you are not overdriving the snot out of the SDR receiver...
The more I played with it, the more I don't think it is cut out for this. Tuning it in is a PITA and it gives an odd, digital delay in the audio (W5UDX thought it was kinda cool)
right now I'm chasing 2 issues:
1. RFI in my audio I can hear on the SDR recording
2. Something is stealing my bas below 65Hz...
