Hi Stewart,
The idea sounds simple enough,
implimentation in practical terms could be a problem.
I already use a kind of space diversity at times
for experimentation. The vertical goes to one RX and the loop to another RX,
then the audio outputs are fed to the computer and viewed on ARGO but the BFO is
offset 650 hz + on one Rx and - on the other, this way I can view both
received signals simultaneously one on the upper half of screen and the other on
the lower part and compare strength etc but the two signals could be
combined/added on exactly the same trace by using exactly the same BFO
offset on both Receivers.
I mix both audio inputs but maybe a better approach
would be to keep both audio inputs to the sound card separate, one from
each RX ie use the sterio input instead of mono and let the mixing take
place on the sound card.
Maybe someone that specialises in sound cards and
their potential knows the answer and the software required.
I know this is not what you really have in mind but
it is a start.
Some signals received on the vertical are not heard
or seen by the loop because of the directional properties, I really need TWO
loops, then there would be 3 inputs and more problems for the sound card that
only has 2 inputs !!!!! A proper external multi input balanced mixer might be
the answer, there are so many ways to go, and then it becomes a full time job
implementing all these expriments.
It will be interesting to see what observations you
get about your idea.
