If you're having problems it's always worth talking to an audio engineer - they give sound advice

For anyone unfamiliar:

A man goes to a newspaper stand every day, buys a copy of Pravda, glances at the front cover, curses, and throws it away.

After a few weeks of this the seller just has to ask what's going on: "why do you always look at the cover but never inside?"

"I'm looking for an obituary."

"An obituary? But those are in the back!"

"Oh no, the obituary I'm looking for will be on the front page."

@ragb Hello. It largely depends on what band you are interested in.

For LW/MW/SW I'd recommend:
Software: HDSDR - https://www.hdsdr.de/ Tons of shortcuts, you can easily tune, input frequencies, adjust filters etc. Cannot do FM stereo, RDS decoding possible only with external software.
Hardware: I use Airspy HF+ Discovery and HF+ Dual Port. These have narrower bandwidth, but thei're nearly impossible to overload with strong signals. Great for both lower frequencies and broadcast FM. Won't work for DAB+ due to higher bandwidth requirements.

For DAB+ I use RTL-SDR blog V4 SDR and QT-DAB software. It's QT, so it has its ups and downs.

I have no experience with the more expensive, high end SDRs.

FOR #FMDX, there's currently a great combination. TEF-6686/6687 chip-based receivers, and FM-DX Webserver. The radios aren't strictly SDRs, but they are DSP-powered. The Webserver is maybe 90% accessible, with some accessibility bugs still unresolved, but they are rather minor. You can tune using arrows, input frequencies, view RDS data / signal strength etc. As far as I know, the keyboard shortcuts are undocumented, so feel free to ask, if you need to.
FMDX Hub: https://fmdx.org/
FM-DX Webserver: https://github.com/noobishsvk/fm-dx-webserver
FMDX server list: https://servers.fmdx.org/ You need to activate the "Server list" button first to browse servers.
My FM-DX Webserver 1: http://fmdx.praa.sk:39400/
My FM-DX Webserver 2: http://fmdx.praa.sk:40410/

Feel free to ask for more details

What’s the opposite of formaldehyde?

Art and content shouldn't be created for popularity, clicks, or clout. It should be made because you either enjoy making it, or need to make it. I see so many people complaining their stuff isn't popular so they are going to stop. Completely wrong outlook and reasoning.

@douglas2005 It's wild in Europe today too. One of the best #FMDX days of this season.

No one wants to try the new Outlook so please stop asking

Hey Germans, please come up with a word that means "the fear of typing `return` vs `shift-return` because you don't know which inserts newline and which sends the message"

In a serious gain in efficiency, a Space X Starship prototype has exploded without actually being launched.
They're next plan is to see if they can produce an explosion during the assembly process.

I'm retired in the sense that I was tired yesterday and am tired again today.

I swear there used to be a time when my reaction to new software features wasn't a resigned sigh followed by figuring out how to switch it off.

@Tissman Great melody. Didn't know this track.

It's not often that I get goose bumps from a Hands Up release these days. But this one works for me.

If anyone enjoys sound effects for any reason, you couldn't find a cheaper, more diverse catalogue of consistently high quality sound effects anywhere! https://www.zapsplat.com/?aff=11

So let me get this straight: First, it was Elon. Now, it is Mark. Two guys are removing all moderation rules on social media. And are people asking another billionaire to build alternative social media? Do you even hear yourself? That is not going to fix anything. Maybe we should go back to the days of blogs, mailing lists, individual forums, and RSS feeds and end this madness of centralized social media apart from the federation. I’m just saying

For some strange reason, my brain pulled this one out while doing the dishes.

@ZBennoui Haven't heard it before. Banger in deed.

@ZBennoui One of my favorites too, along with Are We Gonna Be Alright.
