I am still asking for a solution for my bricked box. I can connect by telnet, but the user and PW information is apperently different. Does anyone know how to connect by telnet and flash a new firmware?

On the terminal connection I get contiuously ....aUaUaU.... with some background sound on the speaker. It is very hard to tune the RX to the correct position. It seems that the transmitted audio is repeated somehow.

Hi George,
I tried this version with same settings, but had problems to decode the audio. I only managed to get a decoding for short time and with breaks. Audio quality doesn't seem to be improved.

Hi George,
thank you for the last change of teh script and the infos over email.
I could make it running now and could decode my own transmittion over the satellite.
Your application is having a very good audio quality. I am really surprized.
congatulations!

Hi George,
great work. I have copied the file to the gnuradio directory and started the .py file.
Unfortunatly I got following errors:

Maybe I am missing some installation?
I have changed the TX frequency to 2400135. Could that be the reason?

Hi,
just was my not knowing. Screen is complete and block menue also. I just did not remember that I have to click on the black arrows and not on the block groupe name. So I habe Pluto sink and souce and all the others ready.
Did some trials with gnuradio about 10 years ago with minor success.73 Gerhard
-
Hi George,
tnx for the infos. All OK now, installed everything without errors and Gnuradio-Companion is running. Could start a filter example. But cannot open the menue on the right side. There are no devices?

Hi George,
there is something new to play with: LYRA https://github.com/google/lyra

Hi George,
I made a new install of Ubuntu 18.04 and GnuRadio 3.7.
Then I wanted to install the analog gr-iio, but in line 3 I got errors and line 4 did not start . There must be a syntax error. I am no Linux guy to solve this. I am quite happy if I can install some software without problems following a cook book.
Any ideas?

Just wait, I will try to install Ubuntu 18.04 on a different machine and see if there is Grnuradio 3.7 in the package.

Sorry, IP is 192.168.1.6 (NB - station). the other one is WB.

Hi George,
I am using Ubuntu 20.04 and Gnuradio 3.8.1 on an i3-5xxx machine. Pluto is GPSDO stabilized and can run duplex over QO-100. I am using the GPIO - relay board for PTT in SDR-Console. Pluto is 192.168.1.7.
Do you think that equipment will be sufficient?

Hi George, that is great news. What do I need to test? I allready do have a Ubuntu computer and a Pluto via ethernet.

Hi Poll,
I do have the same board and it is also broken now. I have used it with PlutoDVB FW 0303 and I think it was OK for a while. Now I cannot access the http-server of the box, nor get a telnet connection. I also lost the HDMI screen in OBS.
- I can hook up a TTL RS232/USB, but how to proceed from there?- What is the patch for? Is it necessary for working with 0303 FW and how is it done savely?

Correct! But here in Austria it is sufficient to give the information on a personal web-site. In connection with the identification by the callsign the authorities may find the necessary information.
Sorry about my English - maybe my expressions are missleading.73

Hi All,
According to Austrian regulations all digital modes are allowed, if they do not exceed the bandwith regulations for the frequency band. This includes also experimental modes. But it is necessary to use an open documented digital mode. This can be achieved by using (1) an allready open documented mode, or (2) an experimetal mode. In case (2) it is necessary to show the callsign and mode at the beginning of the transmission (I am using waterfall picture) and give necessary infomation and/or code of this mode at least on a personal internet site.73 de Gerhard OE3GBB

Hi all,
Many thanks for all the contributions.
Here are the results from my investigations:
Yes, it is the 5th harmonic problem. I could tune my LNB to that frequency on 12.038 MHz using SDR-Console and could see some TV transponder signals at -115 dBm. But when I transmit at lower power I get the 5th harmonic of my transmission at -80 dBm. When I increase the power I get -45 dBm. So it seems that the activation of the doherty path of the amplifier is making this problem.
I inserted now a 200W circulator and the situation improved a little bit. I can transmit now 333 kS at beacon level without increasing the noise level.
I am using bandpass filters for 10W between driver and final amplifier, built for Wifi on 2410 MHz, 27 MHz bandwith, but 10W CW only.
High power low loss low pass filters could be built according this: https://www.changpuak.ch/elect…mpedance_Lowpass_Coax.php. But I don't have the ability for that kind of high precession work.
Alternativly those could be built from low loss PCBs with increased copper layer thickness.I also do have a WLAN duplexer, but only rated for 20W and I don't want to risc this eather.
So next will work on optimizing the doherty amplifier to reduce the 5th harmonic.73 de Gerhard OE3GBB

Hi Mike,
that is a very good point. I do not have a SPA for this frequencies, but I will try to tune my LNB to 12025 and see what is there.
If the 5th harmonic is the problem: This is the first PA I am using without a circulator. So, I also can try ma 200W circulator for 2,4 GHz and maybe this device is acting also as a low pass filter ? How to build a LPF for 200W on 2,4 GHz with minimum losses? I also will try to change the amplifier from Doherty to push-pull A-amp as a last try as maybe the problems arise when the C-part of the amp is activated.
Will keep you informed.73 Gerhard
