HO-68 CW beacon with Funcube Dongle and Arrow ante
Reception of the HO-68 (XW-1) satellite beacon using the Funcube Dongle receiver and an Arrow II hand-held yagi antenna. Quisk software defined radio receiver running on Ubuntu Linux 10.10 64bit. I was located indoors pointing the Arrow out through the window (and Doppler tuning with left hand, hence the high pitch ;-) The peak was around 52 deg elevation, range 1400 km. The CW beacon transmitter is 200mW RF.
The Funcube Dongle is a USB stick SDR receiver for 64 MHz - 1.7 GHz by Howard Long G6LVB, seehttp://www.funcubedongle.com/
Using an LD-1B and Winrad to receive and decode DRM
Demonstration of DRM (Digital Radio Mondiale) reception using an LD-1B and Winrad. DRM is a form of digital modulation which allows shortwave broadcasts to be received without audible static or fading, and with audio quality approaching that of FM broadcasting.
While Winrad has a "DRM" button, it does NOT have an integral DRM decoder. A third party decoder (in this demo, the free DREAM decoder) must be provided by the user. Audio output from Winrad is "piped" via Virtual Audio Cable (VAC) from Winrad to Dream, and the user listens to the audio output from DREAM.
Using an LD-1B and Winrad to receive and decode PSK-31
Receiving PSK-31 using a Lazy Dog LD-1B SDR and Winrad. Digital Master 780 (DM-780) is used to demodulate PSK-31, and could just as easily be used to demodulate CW, RTTY, or any other "digital" mode. Virtual Audio Cable is used to "pipe" the audio output from Winrad to the input of DM-780 For more information about the LD-1B, go tohttp://www.lazydogengineering.com/LD-...
