ADALM-Pluto

Quote from DD0KP

ik4idy Why do you connect the Pluto to the BU-500?? The Pluto can do that QRGs himself.

Yes, may be strange. My intention was to drive all at 144 MHz, for NB and WB. My test of saturday consist to try NB with Pluto, connected to BU500 ... total failure.

Too large device BU500 and too much spurious generation by ADALM.

No problem. I will restart with another way. When I will have availability of the attenuator, I will try with my ts 2000 to drive narrow band on BU500. For the WB as described, I will filter the input from adalm, and I will send 2400 directly to amplifier...

This drive me crazy, inexperience (not always ignorance), play bad.

Yes you are right.Sometimes life is crasy.. I am running here FT-790 with 40db attenuator to BU-500 doing 300mW output on NB. will have PA by this week and then I have arround 4W out.

4 W on NB is a broacasting D: I'm sure your signal is good and above the beacon...

Hat anyone experience with ADALM-Pluto as Receiver or as DATV-Transmitter ?

Yes, tried also, and works ...

Danke, reicht mir vorerst. Ich bin ab morgen ein paar Tage weg. Dann melde ich mich nochmal ...

Hallo,
ich empfange NB-Transponder mit dem Pluto und SDR Console. Läuft prima.
Senden geht auch, habe ich jedoch noch nicht komplett eingesetzt.
Ich war letzte Woche das erste mal mit 350mW und einer Helix in einem 85cm Spiegel auf dem Satelliten. Da mit einem 2m Almode TRX in den BU500 von Hides..
Möglich dass ich mit dem Pluto hier im Shack auf mit dem Pluto auf 2m Sende und dann in den BU500 gehe.
Plane gerade einen 1,8m Spiegel aufzubauen, da habe ich jedoch 40 m Kabel zwischen... 2m wäre eine gute Alternative um die Distanz zu überbrücken...

It is very helpful when translating forum posts (some people also post in Italian!!) to a language you know.

Just copy the text into the left window on that site and select the languages.

Thank you ... I already know it .... otherwise how would I understand German hi ..

Mine wants to be a good provocation ....

I read the forum very often from the smartphone and it is difficult to do the translation

I apologize if the joking tone of my writing has not been understood

I've been done the same test on ADALM-PLUTO with DATV ESPRESS SOFTWARE, as Heiner DD0KP (thank's for your suggestion !). Local tests was good for me on : 435, 1240, and 2400. In all cases a was able to decode my strong signal (local), with Minitioune Software (F6DZP). For my curiosity I've been done a test at 144 MHz, but in this case without success. I cannot understood if the reason was difficulties of ADALM to work on 144 or is SW or Minitouner express. It's very interesting platform to use some tipology of emission. Now I'm waiting components to reach result on QO-100 (Hair filters and amplifier dor DATV). First experience wasn't good with a surplus amplifier due to some errors for my inexperiaqnce on microwaves. We have a lot of collegues are well equipped to have good results, it isn't my actual situation.

Best 73 and good luck.

I can not spare you this screenshot now ...

DATV with ADALM-PLUTO on 2400 MHz successful.

with this setup it is also very easy to check frequency ranges and symbolrates on normal sat receivers..

Ah, good idea, I understand! Will try ...
