Dear OM friends experienced in Pluto sdr,
my Pluto seems not to give any signal in transmission;
My configuration includes Plutosdr + CN0417 + EP ab-003. Recently everything has been working fine but now I have no more signal output.
Is there any way to investigate if anything comes out by pluto?
Thanks for your help and suggestions

Either with a power meter or a second pluto. Given the prices and the long term benefit, I would go for Pluto #2.
An other way of checking the output of the Pluto is transmitting on a low(er)
frequency and see if you can receive this signal on a suitable receiver.

Hallo,
some time ago, I did a similar observation. Output much to low, about -30 dBm. One hint was a bad soldering at the output transformer.
I tried to transmit at lower frequencies and increased it. Finally the Pluto returned to normal operation. Don'l know the reason but it works.

Thanks,
I'll try...
Are you using SDR Console and have you tested you set up with other software?
Because I also had a similar problem with my Pluto some time ago. No output power - but everything worked the day before. The setup was not changed in the meantime.
First I was worried that my Pluto was damaged. But it turned out that due to a Windows update my USB headset stopped working properly. It seems that if there's no properly working microphone present in the SDR Console no power gets out of the Pluto - even if you tune or do a tone test.
Hi Dirk,
thank you very much for the suggestion, that was actually the problem!
Thanks again.
