[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 965368, member: 325666"] Now then .. As you know I want to make a completely self contained SDR/.SAT pc receiver .. I know I can physically fit a sat card ...but I dont want the SDR floating outside the PC .. Problem ...there is limited space inside the Optiplex ...and I dont know how the SDRplay would be affected if it was mounted internally .. But I am going to give it a go .. First I have to remove the SDRplay case as this definately is to big and will not fit inside .. Next ..how would I mount the SDR pcb ..? and finally ..how much screening will be required to stop electrical PC noise ? The last question I haven't tackled yet ...but this is what I have come up with so far.. I have cut a shaped piece of polythene to fit into the vacant pci slot ..to which I will be able to mount the SDR play pcb ...and hopefully with a longer SMA lead bring the antenna connection external to the PC .. Note ..nothing has been cut or damaged ..nor will it be relating the the SDRplay ...so if this part of the project fails I can resort to external use again.. rgds VS[ATTACH=full]91664[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]91665[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]91666[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
