Re: Can ANAN radios be used as spectrum analysers to test filters?

Hi Scott, That's good news. Since I have never used scopes, a little hand-holding is required. I know it's too much to ask for but a mentor must do it once and I would quickly learn. Is there a video on how to use it to test LPF for HF amplifiers? I could not find it. A block diagram to connect Anan...

Can ANAN radios be used as spectrum analysers to test filters?

Hello,

Just curious to know if Anan radios be used as spectrum analysers to test say Low pass filters.
A decade ago there was a project called Cyclopes under test.

SDR Play has software for the spectrum analyser program. Do we have something?
Thank you,

Hi Richie, I would request you to provide additional wide filters 20 kHz for DRM as the new pure DRM broadcasts are 18/20 kHz wide and we cant decode these new broadcasts. PowerSDR and DRM mode must have been incorporated 15 years ago when 9/10 kHz filters. This is the most appropriate time to revi...

Hello,

I am interested in SO2R using 2 ANAN transceivers.
What sort of hardware do I need?
I find the topic a little confusing hence I need guidance from friends here.

Also, what are the alternatives to receiver guard sold by DX Engineering DXE-RG5000HD?
