"Tech Minds" video on Remote SDR v2 managing transceivers covering VHF,UHF or QO-100 with Adalm-Pluto

bjr André F1ATB

is there a way to control an external changeover relay in case I want to do iso-frequency traffic and don't want to receive myself?

F1ATB well, basically I would like to use the pluto also as a SIMPLEX transceiver with one antenna. so, when I transmit the antenna changeover relay should be switched on to connect the antenna to the TX port.

I see...but that is beyond my capabilities as it probably means that I have to modify the software somewhere!

a simple HF VOX should do the trick..

well...if a "digital" PTT is not available then let's go analogue!

Hi,

there is a chapter in the sdr-console manual titled PTT.

A quick but not deep read brings me to the idea that one might connect a (foot)switch - via USB or serial - for keying sdr-console.

Now if you also hook a RX/TX relay system to the (foot)switch you might have all you need. In other words: PTT for sdr console AND for whatever hardware is provided by a mechanical switch.
