[Lowfer] How do I use Spectrum Lab as a VLF Soft Receiver ?

[rick kirby]

Hi Charlie,

 Im using the first one : the one with a variable cap and no FET stage.I am 
using a single turn loop (10ft) with a fixed capacitor tuned to 185.3 and 
fed with coax .Im using Lyles pre-amp also so I dont really need the FET 
stage.
 I had some really nice screen shots of MP and a few of XR  but I notice a 
lot of noise (not manmade or impulse type); just a high background level.I 
need to really learn the FFT filter so I can get better pictures.
 I do know I like it much better than my TS 820 and an upconverter.This 
thing worked the first time I used it.
