Observation 13477706: ACS3 (59588) Eggbeater - Not a valid pass what what could cause it

Regarding Observation 13477706 … Eggbeater

Not a valid pass what what could cause this signal it? Using an Eggbeater ED-432/RK70CM antenna for the first time they had here and have to admit I am underwhelmed by it. Just getting poorer that normal results and odd stuff like this.

Howdy, I looked at a few of your observations and most are OK, it seems frequencies around 450 upwards capture that noise seen in your observation above. This could be a rogue Power Supply or laptop / pc or other electrical devices causing the issue. Are you able to run sdr software and investigate with a small yagi, run laptop on batteries or move the sdr away from potential issues?

Best73 let me know how you get on

This is a RTL-SDR problem, the only way to correct this behavior is remove the RTL-SDR and reinsert.

After seeing this for already a long time I still have no idea what the root cause is, and how to solve it ones and for all.

For now I have replaced all my “production” SDR devices with HydraSDR RFOne, Airspy (Mini/R2), HackRF etc.
