QT vs QIRX – RSP1A vs R820T<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

For DAB+ DXing QIRX<\/a> and QT-DAB<\/a> are great software, while RSP1A<\/a> and RTL-SDR R820T<\/a> are excellent hardware. The software is free thanks to excellent work from Clem Schmidt and Jan Van Katwijk.
The differences between the set-ups are minimal and price-quality wise RTL-SDR R820T is a fantastic product for DAB+. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I connected my antennas<\/a> to a splitter to run QIRX and QT-DAB simultaneously. On the most MUXes there was no noticeable difference. However when doing the test in rainy, windy weather with dismal lift QT-DAB4.3 + RSP1A managed to decode
12B Li\u00e8ge quite easily.
QIRX3.2.1 + RSP1A managed it too but with more difficulty and most of the time only partially. QT-DAB and QIRX couldn’t do it when connected to the RTL-SDR R820T. Under normal conditions the difference between the set-ups became negligible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s vital to set-up bandwidth for QIRX + RTL-SDR R820T correctly to around 1700 kHz. AGC works very well in this combo. For QIRX + RSP1A do check the Gain Reduction<\/span>. Its default setting is 3. The higher the number the more reduction!
In general QIRX tends to show the TII codes quicker and more extensively than QT-DAB.
QT-DAB settings need to be checked too. AGC works well. Using RSP1A again note the LNA state selector indicate the Gain Reduction<\/span>. The higher the number the less Gain. Using RTL-SDR R820T with the Autogain on you should toggle the ppm.
In general strong MUXes need a lower ppm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do have a look at the manuals from QIRX<\/a> and QT-DAB<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"QIRX+RSP1A<\/a>\n\n\n\n
