SDRuno
SDRuno is a software which is working with SDRplay and a PC will be a receiver. The software can be download from a web site and it works on Windows. I just tried this software on Windows 10 PC. There are pre-configured setups for Amateur bands which are covered with SDRplay. We can see entire each band in a single display to see if there is any signal in the band. So we do not have to scan frequency to see if there is any station in a band. This is pretty nice for me.
Antenna
Since this is just a receiver, I just using a copper wire in a room as a temporary antenna to check each amateur band. I cannot receive really weak signals, but I still can see some activities. Due to sun-spot number is really low now. Higher HF bands are really quiet. I cannot see much activities on 20m / 15m and 10m. I still see some activities on 40m and 80m with the temporary antenna.
I guess if I have a better antenna out side of my house, then I could hear more stations. Probably, I will set a better antenna some time soon.
Since the current antenna is not very good one, therefore I only hear very strong signals which are probably coming from somewhere not far. Even though, I think there could not be so many station I expected. When I did amateur radio, there are so many stations on 40m band.
Anyway, this is really nice device to listen amateur bands, what each band looks like.
