new firmware available 20201013

For this hardware "SAA-2N" the firmware to load is 4 "   " V2.74 "from blackmagic

Changes since last production release:

• First production release for V2 Plus4
• Increased save slots to 7
• Increased maximum sweep points over USB for plus4 to 65536
• Add CALIBRATE > RESET ALL to completely reset current view
• Fix PAUSE SWEEP
• AGC bugfixes

As for previous versions, a new calibration is required after the firmware update, now there are seven slots to save.

In addition, touch screen calibration is also required

This is a good idea! Thank!

I also for what would be a weak beacon

was on an NB transponder.

Matthias,

thank you for that confirmation.

Hi Graham,

no, there is no spurious signal of the lower beacon at the frequency you mentioned.

Kind regards

I have just set up my receiver again. I am getting an image of the lower NB beacon (10,489.500) on 10,489.722 MHz, so 222 kHz higher. I'm assuming this is generated in my equipment, but I'm posting to check that a weak signal beacon is not broadcast. It is about 2dB over noise.

I'm using 1 1.1m dish feeding an LNB with a 27 MHz reference oscillator, feeding an RTL dongle to GQRX on Ubuntu Linux.

Can anyone hear a signal on 10,489.722 MHz?

A weak signal beacon would be useful!
