"RF Caused By SDR-IQ" wrote in message
. ..
There is a new Yahoo group http://groups.yahoo.com/group/RFICausedBySDRIQ/
which may be of interest to those who own or may purchase an SDR-IQ. The
purpose of the group is to exchange information about RFI caused by the
SDR-IQ and how to reduce or eliminate the RFI.

Is it interfering with itself or other devices.

If it is interfering with itself it is perhaps not surprising.
It is an interesting looking gadget but it is not a radio.
It has no front end. It is open to the whole 500 Hz
to 30 MHz all the time. If you have a strong AM broadcast
station near by or a ham or CBer in the neighborhood
their signal will override everything else. The SDR-IQ would
make a good IF/back end. Better results would be
obtained by connecting the SDR-IQ to the IF of another
receiver. Or by putting an RF preselector in front of it.

The TenTec RX-320D is about the same price but has a
real radio front end. Unfortunately the TenTec has
an RS232 rather than USB interface and the TenTec only
has a 12 kHz bandwidth.
