Subject: [WUN] Update: receive SAQ at 17.2 kHz using soundcard receiver
Date: Thu, 21 Jun 2001 09:12:01 +0100
Hello EveryWun
There has been a huge response, to the use of a soundcard, as a simple VLF wide
and receiver. I often call the soundcard receiver for a: "millenium crystal det
ctor". Even though it uses a PC, it is in its simplicity, quite a "stoneage" in
trument, compar
ed to modern day - digitally controlled receivers. I think, this is what makes
t so attractive. With simple means, it is possible to investigate the various t
ansmissions, not only manmade, in a part of the electromagnetic spectrum, not e
en easily acces
ible by the majority of modern receivers.
But it has come to my attention that several Wunners, has experienced problems
o find suitable and not time-limited versions of sound-analysis software. Searc
no longer:
Wolf DL4YHF, the creator of Spectrum Lab, has recently ( June 15th 2001 ) updat
d his latest release ( v1.65 ) of this highly recomendable software for radio u
e. This most interesting program, has even a genious setting for use of the ana
ysis tool as a
"Soft RX" for VLF use. There is even a preprogrammed setting for SAQ as well as
other "longwave" stations.
Go to Wolf's homepage for details and download of the program: www.qsl.net/dl4y
f with a US mirror site at: members.aol.com/dl4yhf
Read also Wolf's own article " Using a PC with soundcard as a VLF receiver" at:
http://www.qsl.net/dl4yhf/vlf_rcvr.html highly recomendable. :-)
