Nice work Lucien, are you going to provide PCBs or Gerbers for those of us far too impatient to wait until next year?

Hello
I hope to be able to offer a kit to the REF store with the SMD components assembled on the PCB, the other elements to be soldered yourself such as the GPS-NEO and the ARDUINO-NANO remaining to be done.
Maybe even a 3D printed case.
If G4ELI makes us an SDR-Console which also does DATV, it will be a complete kit, just the PA 2G4 to add
in attachment a prototype alone without Pluto which includes the PTT function, the LNB power supply in 13 or 18V and the GPSDO 40 MHz
My friend F5OEO made me a firmware which manages all this and switches the inputs-outputs on RX2/TX2 of the Pluto
Sorry for this google-english

Internal clock/external clock switching is controlled by the GPIO6 bit. It normally disables the internal TCXO and enables the external clock driver chip. But the TCXO used does not cut and the two clocks, external and internal, mix. The TCXO used is not good. I replaced it with a correct TCXO 3.3V (TCXO removed on the first models because they were not very stable) and everything works normally in external clock configuration.
