VLF comparison

Here is a quick and dirty comparison between the Behringer UMC204HD + PA0RDT mini whip and the Airspy HF+ Discovery and YouLoop looking at a similar amount of spectrum from 0 up to 96kHz or so. First the UMC204HD:

And the Airspy:

This was not done in any scientific fashion, it's just to show that the soundcard method works ok but is not as good as the Airspy. No surprises there and this is no criticism of either method. I can see the utility of the soundcard method when coupled with the vlfrx-tools package as all manner of analyses become possible. I have only just started reading about that.
