8. Solució De Problemes

If you encounter issues with your SDR receiver, refer to the following troubleshooting tips:

• Dispositiu no reconegut:
  • Ensure the USB-C data cable is securely connected to both the receiver and the host device.
  • Prova un port USB diferent al dispositiu amfitrió.
  • Verify that the necessary drivers for the SDR receiver are correctly installed on your operating system.
  • Reinicieu el dispositiu amfitrió.
  • Confirm that you are using a data-capable USB-C cable, not just a charging cable.
• Sense recepció de senyal:
  • Check that an antenna is properly connected to the SMA port.
  • Ensure the antenna is suitable for the frequency range you are trying to receive.
  • Verify that the SDR software is correctly configured to use the Acogedor receiver and that the gain settings are appropriate.
  • Confirm that you are tuning to an active frequency with a known signal.
• Mala qualitat del senyal:
  • Adjust the gain settings within your SDR software. Too much or too little gain can degrade signal quality.
  • Check for local sources of interference (e.g., computers, power supplies, LED lights).
  • Ensure your antenna is positioned optimally and is not obstructed.
  • Experiment with different filter settings and bandwidths in your SDR software.
