Perhaps this controlled carrier modulated transmitter would be a good mate the the SDR-5000. It is limited to 100% modulation. Would not cover all ham HF bands however. http://www.transmitter.be/con-419f2.html ___ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List

Hi All, The beauty of SDR is that we have the RF signal in digital form. In this discussion of AM detect algorithms it could be very useful if those of you who observe signals that are not detected well would make raw data files available. In case a bad audio quality is observed with a

For many years now on the short wave bands broadcast stations have been using CCM (Controlled Carrier Modulation, also being called other names) to reduce the carrier as much as 6db. That along with multipath can cause some strange distortion problems on the receive end. That has as of a few

Which version of PSDR are you using Brett? Version 2.2.3 fixed a very big issue with AM reception (AGC tracking the sideband energy rather than the carrier energy) that was present in all the previous 2.x.x versions and the later 1.x.x versions. That being said, I do notice what sounds like

Running here PSDR V 2.2.3 with Flex 5000. The only time I occasionally hear some type of peak distortion or muddy-type distortion on 75 meters is when listening to strong AM signals operating class E type rigs. I don't hear on it on broadcast AM, commercial SW AM, or amateurs running current
