Quiet, with typical electrical fence from neighbor

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As in most cases the DM curve is much better as with the 2MHz recording

 

Nearly same S/N as in folding before

 

Much better S/N as the 2MHz value

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Older recordings with 2MHz

and 1h observation time

 

 

Still some drift in beginning due at the RTL/software

Good detection

With S/N 22,4

Now with Airspy and 10MHz BW

The 10MHz recording looks much better as with 2MHz

But S/N is only a bit better as with 2MHz BW
