sdr play and K3S

Don Sayler
Hi Everyone.

 

I've been trying to get my SDRPlay (w/ SdrUno) to work with the IF output of
my K3S.

I've got OmniRig set up, so the K3S and SdrUno interact properly. Well,
almost.

 

There seems to be an offset between the K3S frequency and the SdrUno
frequency. For example, I dial in WWV at 10 MHz on the K3S, and SdrUno hears
the signal at ~9.875 MHz.

On 80m, this offset is around 117KHz.  I've tried the setting the External
Converter offsets, that didn't help.

 

In SdrPlay, I do have the IF Output Frequency set to 8125000 Hz and it is
enabled. I've tried adjusting this value a little, and it didn't seem to
help.

I am aware of some of the limitations of SdrUno compared to other software,
but this is the one that I'm used to. I may switch to another one at some
point.

 

Any ideas? I looked through the K3S config settings, and nothing jumped out
at me.

 

Thanks!

 

73,

Don W7OXR

I’ve used the RSP-1a with HDSDR.  I had to set the calibration for overall and then for each mode. Some values were + and some - .  Also I found my SDR Play RSP-1a does drift noticeably.  

Finall tossed the thing in the drawer and purchased a P3.  Much more satisfactory.

Re: sdr play and K3S

     I have been using the SDRPlay to drive Win4k3. It works with little
problem. That problem is setting the global offset so that it matches
exactly your K3s. Not all SDR software will play nicely being driven by
the SDRPlay. And, BTW; If you are going to use narrows roofing filters,
you are going to need to account for the fact that each has a slightly
different calibration frequency. It's no big deal, but it should be set
for your specific radio.
