List of SDRs that work well with SDR Sharp/IF Average and ones that do not

[Andrew Thornett]

I would like to put together such a list.

Can I ask folks to send me their experiences of using various SDRs with SDR Sharp and IF Average. I want to know both what you have found works and what does not, and also what took a lot of effort to get it to work and how you resolved any such issues etc. E.g. where did you need to go to find drivers etc.?

Hi Andrew,

For me, the HackRF was the one that didn't work well with SDR# / IF Average.

SDR# offers only sample rates of 8, 10, 12.5, 16, and 20 MSPS for it, and it does not provide any decimation options, even though the HackRF hardware itself supports sample rates ranging from 2 to 20 MSPS. I use 2.4 MSPS in my pipeline for HackRF.

Thanks.

Here are the HackRF results with my smaller dish at a high RFI place: https://groups.google.com/u/1/g/sara-list/c/naoVzS8b71g/m/gHlTccWJCQAJ
