Wire wound resistors do not resist.....sounds weird but they act as a coil, ergo they are useless.
A coil has an impedance, such is not the same as resistance, sadly both expressed in Ohm.

AC Ohm is quite different from DC Ohm, that is the problem.

I have the mini-whip as well and use it only when there is lightning. The reason you may not put it on a metal pole is because the coax cable is part of the antenna. So if you put it on metal pole the pole acts as an common-mode-choke and the "antenna" stops working. What you do is find a distance o...

Also lower the RF-gain to about 50%.

Does it help?

Are you using Zero-IF mode? If not, that could solve the mixing problem.
Also, do not set RF-gain to maximum with SDR devices, if they overload ghost-signals appear.
Best is to stick at about 50%.

Does the arm work?

Updated the driver to support the following sample-rates and tested against websdr.org software:

62500/128000/256000/512000/1024000/2048000/2880000

They work fine now.

As websdr.org software needs wider bandwidths it may work well for others too.

Tried to watch your video, but apart from the clicking of the mouse there isn't much to hear

In CubicSDR it's no problem, select the IF-mode before you start the device.

Decimate is not needed to select, makes not that much of a difference.

I myself use Zero-IF where possible combined with RfNotch if needed.

My money is mostly on the coax and some effect from the whip.
