| Apr 3, 2014 at 1:54 | comment | added | Harold Chan | Thanks for your help. I can now get some signal peak at shortwave range. But it is only 20dB higher than noise, I cannot hear the voice by those AM stations (But it is ok by using radio). The attached photos show my connection to SDR (SMA - BNC - PAL), would it be also the problem of mismatch impedance? Or other reasons? Please advice. | |

Try connecting a long wire to the female jack of the up-converter input and I think that you should be able to pick up some local activity (at least the local RF junk). I'm trying to isolate the actual part where the problem occurs and see if it's between the antenna and up-converter or between the up-converter and the RTL. | |

| Apr 1, 2014 at 14:43 | comment | added | Harold Chan | My method to connect is to try to use a small wire to connect the "hole" of SMA connector with the audio plug. I have tried to contact with different part of that audio plug, still no luck. | |
| Apr 1, 2014 at 14:42 | comment | added | Harold Chan | Thanks for your help. The model of Antenna Loop is Degen 31MS. The up convertor information is located at code.google.com/p/opendous/wiki/Upconverter. Mine is using 100MHz v1.0 version | |
| Apr 1, 2014 at 14:33 | comment | added | AndrejaKo | Also you said you think you connected the upconverter wrongly, but I can't see a description of how exactly you connected it. That might be helpful as well. | |
| Apr 1, 2014 at 14:30 | comment | added | AndrejaKo | How about providing some concrete information about the units you're using? Exact model name and website would be good for start. I did try to read the site from the photo, but the domain name was illegible for me. Are there any manuals for the devices? If yes, did you read them? Are there electronic versions available? If so, can you post links? Your question is quite hard to answer for someone who can't immediately identify your equipment from just the photo and you as the asker should try to make it as easy as possible for the rest of us to help. | |
