AM and FM DX

I have 60+ devices on my LAN, so probably cost-prohibitive for me to do that, unfortunately.

OMG! Yeah pricey & time consuming chasing it all too…

For RDS Spy have a look at this link. It helped @Moe.

Radio Data System (RDS)

@Moe, Okay something wrong with the config, probably with RDS Spy. Your ‘Relative RDS Signal Level’ should be around -25 to -35dB (not -107dB). Check in the RDS Spy config. Go to Configure --> Sound Card & ensure that it points to VB Cable O/P. Soundcard Input Mode: Direct RDS/MPX 192kHz. Also ensure control panel VB Cable setup per RDS Spy instructions etc. BTW Use VB Cable “HiFi” version. There are RDS decode problems with the standard version. Delete old version, restart PC & instal Hi…

Takes a little or a lot of patience & persistence to get it working.
B/W needs to be minimum of 140kHz & wider on a powerful signal.

I think I’m getting Spencer Gulf and Renmark stations in Sydney at the moment. Anyone else?

I’m thinking maybe Leonids meteor shower dx, given time & distance.
