N1MM Spectrum display with Hackrf1

N1MM does offer a Spectrum Display  that can display a panoramic view some  newer radio's support band data from the first broad m.f.  like the IC7300
Radios that connect to the PC using USB or WAN can offer a data stream to N1MM Spectrum Display so older types need an other solution.

My K3 is connected with rs232 for CAT for low speed serial data  like frequency mode
T/R CW keying 
The Hackrf1 i recently got can be used  if your K3  has the Xverter I/O option.
Hrf1 should already be working okay with SDR-console or SDR# before trying to connect with N1MM Spectrum Display
Download ExtIO_HackRF.DLL https://github.com/jocover/ExtIO_HackRF/releases
This ExtIO_HackRF.dll   must be copied to the N1MM  program directory.
   C:\Program Files (x86)\N1MM Logger+
Connect the  Hackrf1 with the IF out.
Hrf1 USB should be pluged in , no other  SDR program must be running with it.

Start N1MM like used to  then open window Spectrum Display
In my case the N1MM Spectrum display automatically found the ExtIO driver.


information:
https://n1mmwp.hamdocs.com/manual-windows/spectrum-display-window/
the left configuration window  tab 3   the button in tab 3 opens a smal window where bandwidth and gain settings of the Hrf1 can be set

The Hackrf1 is receiving at the i.f port 8.215MHz
I reduced the Vga gain to 10dB and maximized the Lna  to see more details in he spectrum
I found it not easy to see in  the spectrum CW or  LSB signals in this case on 40m since the default noise line is a bit high and hiding the wanted signals.
I have done the Elecaft K3 IF buffer mod for low serial K3 mine is serial 1404
replacing main PCB back R8 1k by 13k
Possible an other amplifying filter adaption is needed to gain a better dynamic range
The strongest  signal 9+30 40  show no more then +20 dBm over the noise in the spectrum now.
Before i have used Hackrf1 with SDR# tuned at 8.214MHz  then during the CQWPX phone i could see phone  signals very good but then the frequency in the spectrum display does not correspond with the K3 tuning
The Hrf1 did receive well and also the audio was fine at  the K3 i.f. out.
 I was expecting similar result using N1MM Spectrum  but it is not so good  possible some setting is wrong? But have not found any setting to improve the spectrum view
anyway this is an easy way to have a band scope.

WSPR 80m

Still  the distance calculation of WSPR spots in the morning grey line is wrong.
the km DX  should be just the other way calculated over the south-west not over North East
Morning path to ZL is over G CT to S-W so we have 19651+ km to ZL  CT is closer..

2011-01-22 DIAMOND 2m 70cm 1m30 Colinear inside

Having relative poor signals on the local 70cm / 2m channels using this X50 Diamond collinear 70/2  1m antenna at a height of 25m. I needed to investigate what could be wrong. Measuring the cable only 3W is left for the antenna of the 10W 435MHz output from a IC451E The cable is 30m type H100 Z50 10mm outside diameter it is semi air-spaced but has an impossible 4mm² solid CU inner conductor not much air left. I preferred the H43 Z75 cable having lower loss and mechanical better ratio in conductor size. My antenna uses SO239 connector UHF type semi air spaced isolator.  3W should be enough for a comfortable noise free FM signal. But only 27km away at PA0A the signal is weak too weak something must be wrong? I made a simple reference dipole of 2x17cm CU wire. With this dipole the signals where totally worse. So the Diamond does work? I got curious to look inside. Maybe moisture penetration degraded the antenna. This  antenna is rainwater close in its normal vertical mounting posit

SPF5189z Low noise preamp 23cm

 14-4-2018 updated Above the low noise  preamp 50 - 4GHz    ebay  6€ Tested  2 small porto antennas 1 Baofeng UV antenna left   2nd best signal on PI2NOS 2 eBay DIAMONDSRH805S  wide band 144/432/1200  it works for its size as expected 3 piece of wire :   best signal in the setup... Unit under test at workbench. It was stable  50mA  at 5V   few days,  but sudden the current went up to 100mA And i could  no longer adjust it with the negative bias Voltage. The - Voltage went to zero and the SPF input port became low Z. This SPF5189z was broken  no oscillations, no input overload just it broke while i was receiving the PI2NOS 430.125 using a small antenna at the workbench. The specs of  SPF5189z  say it has an internal circuit  regulating the bias current. Replaced . again   with an other of the 5 spare SPF i have. The new one again could be adjusted at 50mA  5V  The current raises to 150mA  when removing the  negative gate voltage. Where is that internal bias cir

BIJZEN mast en ontwerp fouten.

In 2013 heb ik een Bijzen aluminium mast 3 x7m  opgehaald  bij iemand die hem niet mocht plaatsen Gemeente Oss  dat zegt misschien al genoeg.. Pas in 2018 heb ik hem geplaatst had ik veel eerder moeten doen. Mooie mast, mijn xyl vond hem zelfs mooi. Hij is licht, de 3 delen wegen  235kg  het vaste deel 102kg dus het te lieren gedeelte weegt   slechts 133kg + ca 50kg rotor + antennes etc.  De elektrische lier is wel erg zwaar 30kg misschien wel maar die zit onder    Antenne  3ele Steppir  19kG  +  G2500DXC rotor: 3.6kg  + rotorbuis 12 kg  +  kabels 10kg  + 5/7 ele 6m beam. ongeveer 50kg Je moet niet te dichtbij  kijken, dan valt op dat het Aluminium lastwerk heel slordig is gedaan, scherpe bramen aan de lassen waar kabels door kunnen worden beschadigd of haken Er is zeer ! weinig ruimte voor de rotor een YAESU G2500DX past net maar dan ook net  met beetje buigen van  kruisverband. Het Rotor platform kan wel een meter hoger dat geeft meer  buislengte boven het zit nu op 3.5 meter van het
