I had to go back to the email notification as its a little different than your current post. In SDR# disable any of the audio processing features as they work well for our hearing, but not for digital decoding. I now have my audio 'piped' from one application to another. Then in the decode program I would configure audio input to use 'VB-Audio.'. In SDRuno I would find the place to direct the audio out and select 'VB-Audio.'. I use SDRuno, but expect SDR# to operate the same. WEFAX is showing you the typical name the operating system assigns to a virtual audio cable. I can't say that I have ever had a decoding program select the correct audio input.

I'm very grateful to you and others who have kindly offered help and suggestions. If results are poor, I might try an MLA30 loop - again on the end of the plastic pole which can easily be rotated. Still, it's not costing much to try (financial outlay with SDR is zero to negligible compared to hardware receivers). I have no idea if the results will be total crap as a lot of folks have described results with this type of antenna. This would take it above the roof at least. I estimate it can easily be about 3 meters fully extended. I can even make the pole telescopic using different dias of tubing. The first thing I'll be trying is a Chinese knock off SA0RDT mini whip since these can be had for $10/- or so. The only thing I can think of is to stick a long plastic pole out of a window at about 30 degrees from vertical with some sort of antenna on the end of it.

What makes things more challenging is the lack of any RF ground point. I'm on a steep learning curve where antennas are concerned and given my restricted living environment am beginning to think my chances of getting a half way decent solution, well nigh impossible. Any advice about this would be appreciated. Obviously, I'm missing something and knowing me, it'll probably turn out to be something completely stupid that I forgot to do. I also tried the alternative VAC_Lite audio cable because someone posted that this had fixed the same problem but it made no difference.

A clean re-install of SDR# and the VB driver as well as Fldigi didn't improve things. I've been at this for several days now and reading stuff on various forums from others who seem to have similar problems but I haven't found a solution yet.

I couldn't see anything in the Fldigi manual that covers using the app with an SDR.

At this point, I don't know if it's SDR Sharp or Fldigi that's the problem or something with the way I have my PC setup or a combination of all three. There's no waterfall on Fldigi and only gibberish on the output screen. I'm trying to get SDR Sharp to 'talk' to Fldigi (or Fldigi to 'listen' to SDR Sharp) via the free VB audio cable driver when trying to decode for example, a simple RTTY 45/170 signal (the only mode I've so far learned to identify from the sound). There are so many signals and modes available that I wonder if I really need to bother with an SDR device at all. (I'm expecting some antenna components to arrive and while waiting, I've been surfing around on the AirSpy server Network. Meanwhile I thought I'd ask if anyone here can assist. I posted this on the Nbems forum but have received no replies so far. Hi, I'm completely new to SDR and decoding but I hope someone suggest something I haven't tried yet to fix this problem.
