It took quite a while to get the new Ubuntu install on and all the apps and tweaks I needed. I actually ended up installing the much lighter Lubuntu interface to get more juice out of the PIII. And, I did get WebSDR running on it, networked, etc. There was just one little problem that I hadn't considered before, however.
When I looked at the spectrum on the WebSDR page I noticed that there seemed to be duplicate signals. Actually, the 50 KHz spectrum had two halves, mirror images of each other. I scratched my head a little over that and finally realized that probably the sound card in the laptop can't manage 44.5 KHz sampling, so is either processing half the width and/or only takes mono input through the mic line. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a spec on the X24 detailed enough to confirm that.
I tried all manner of sound mixers hoping I could somehow compensate for this, but to no avail. So, in the end, I decided to abandon that idea and keep everything running on this PC. Perhaps my son, Sean, would want to take the X24 to use for schoolwork. He could even take it to school as I really wouldn't shed any tears if it were stolen given that I only have 16 bux into it! 73!
Good morning Casey, when I was running PowerSDR in the past I too ran into a ghost situation. There was a setting to remove the ghosts. I was looking it up last night on the net.... but for the life of me I can't find it anywhere on the net. But for PowerSDR there was a setting or adjustment of a setting that removed this problem. I am not sure if your software has this setting. It would be great if I could find a reference to it on the Internet. I don't have that SDR setup anymore but I will look again to night.
