[Flexradio] Frequency Stability SDR 1000

2009-03-01 Thread Jimmy Jones
I’m looking for a solution to the frequency stability problems with the sdr 1000. (Dudley did you find it?) Anyone have a known good highly stable working device for sale? I’m in the market. Thanks, Jimmy No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG. Version: 7.5.557 / Virus

Hello Flexers, I did a freq cal four days ago and have checked it everyday since. Here is what I see on my SDR, -1Hz to +2Hz. I'm using the 1 Watt SDR and I leave it and the PC powered on at all times. I cal by setting the mode to AM and the filter to 25Hz using the Spectrum display this

Can I request that solving the stability issue of the SDR1000 be brought towards the top of the "to-do" pile. Having to recalibrate regularly is becoming a chore. Also it may be my calibrating techniques, but I notice that the calibration settings using spectrum and panadadapter are

I completely agree with the external oscillator software fix for offset and I even use it for experiments where I am tuned to 10 Mhz. I can't figure out how to keep the reference tuned and the signal of interest tuned with the single IF! Please fix my ignorance. Bob Jim Lux wrote: At
