Dominique, excellent software thank you for sharing this. Is it possible to use external h.265 encoder box? If yes I am not sure how to configure it.

Merci

I am not sure if it is coincidence or not, but since the beacon has changed from 2MS to 1.5MS it remains unstable, every week the video gets "scrambled" waiting for a manual reset. It may cause no issue to the people that has the DATV station already setup, but it may cause lots of confusion to the ones who are trying to setup their datv rx stations, not to mention to software developers such as F6DZP who may receive lots of questions due this issue with the beacon. Now if it was stable on 2MS why not get back to 2MS? Or may be test it on 1MS?

Information here saying the AST3TQ-T-40.000MHZ-28 "does not work on 1.8V" is not correct.

I have it connected to the original tcxo 1.8V and it works perfectly. Please read component data sheet before posting incorrect information.

R.I.P.

I had QSOs with him via QO-100

For those which still need a replacement for the original Pluto TCXO and can no longer find the ABRACON ASTX-13-C-40.000MHz-I05-T

you can replace it by the ABRACON AST3TQ-T-40.000MHZ-28 with some advantages.

The only disvantage is that it costs a bit more. I am using it in two Plutos and works perfectly.

Here is a video that explain how to make it using a real cw keyer.

Hello. I decided install the new transverter 430/2400 MHz. in the room inside the house, because the previous transverter, installed near the antenna, is in qrt definitive due to time. However, the 30 meter long RG 213 used for the connection, generates an attenuation of 13.41 dB at 2,4 GHz. The output power of the transverter is 2 Watts, so the power available at the end of the RG 213 is 91.2 mW. I would install a power amplifier near the antenna with a maximum input of 100 mW and get about 10/20 Watts out in the helix antenna for 2,4 GHz. Thank you for any suggestions.

Yellow all. I am again interested in connecting Pluto via Wi-Fi @ 5GHz. Any updates regarding this, already some known wi-fi dongle that will work ?

Yes, unfortunately it will generate spikes every time it boots up Regardless the firmware you running.

I have seen the attached diagram which author mention it helps prevent Pluto switch Ptt on while booting, I have not tested.

Hello, anyone knows where could we find these PA decks to buy?

E-REON models PowerBlast™ 300 and PowerBlast™ 30

Thanks

Hello, I have the wi-fi version of this H.265 encoder Model: ON-DMI-16D. Where can I find the firmware for upgrade?

Thanks.

GOOD NEWS!

Thanks to all who is helping - "The SAT" DX Foundation - we have already the opportunity to work very interesting and rare entities via QO-100 sat. See the list of stations already on the air and future ones here: https://cutt.ly/UQAhLkT

We hope more people can join and help/support to get more DX/Entities on the air via Sat.

Hi I got a new H.265 encoder box as seen in the picture. It seems higher quality and more options that the previous one, although still did not figure out how to get it streaming to Pluto since it has many other parameters to configure, if someone has it running with Pluto could provide some guidance would be much appreciated.

Thanks

I keep using my Excel spreadsheets, it is very quick and simple. Then I can export the QSOs for any Log software (I use DX Keeper) or upload it directly to eQSL r LoTW, other advantage is that Excel spreadsheet is very portable, so when using another computer or even a cell phone to log the qsos you can run Excel easy.
