RX-888 - Primi ascolti in onde corte con il nuovo SDR

Registrazione 16 MHz di span (oltre 14 MHz effettivi)

Mi è arrivato il nuovo RX-888 (versione avanzata del RX-666), ricevitore SDR prodotto in Cina su un progetto del mitico Oscar Steila, il realizzatore, insieme a Claudio Re, del famoso CiaoRadio, una pietra miliare nella storia degli SDR, made in Italy ma non solo.

L'RX-888 può "vedere" e registrare sino a 32 MHz di banda. Nelle mie prime prove a Milano city mi sono accontentato di settare la registrazione su 16 MHz, che permette di registrare di fatto circa 14,2 MHz effettivi. Il tutto grazie al software SDR Console V3 che adesso supporta questo nuovo ricevitore.
