I had planned to set up a Network SDR receiver on some farm land the family owned. Unfortunately this land has been sold so I’m looking at setting up my SDR in the shed at the back of my residence. The setup has its own challenges when it comes to illuminating noise. Firstly I will have to track down and replace every switch mode power supply in my house. The next thing to be done is to establish independent earthing points for the SDR Radio and associated equipment. The replacement of supplies is probably the hardest thing needing to be done. As far as earthing goes? Well I can easily drive some earthing pegs into the ground in my backyard for that. The farm would have been the best option though there I was having a couple of difficulties with the setup. The first major problem was keeping batteries charged for the operation of the system given mains power was not an option. I couldn’t find solar panels with a voltage low enough for my needs. Internet wasn’t a problem as there was mobile coverage there and I could have easily used that given the SDR doesn’t require that much data and data flow can be controlled. So now everyone knows the status of my SDR journey and I did plan to send the list an eMail about this at some stage given plenty of people have asked me how I was going with the project.
