Sigi,

There’s a bug in my code…

just made a quick and dirty test ... set rx to 10489.700 and let it there (switched of "sync")

then sent a tune tone 500 kc higher and 1000kc higher (nothing could be seen on transponder!!) the did the same downwards (yes i know i was txing outside band!!)

if there would be spurious signal plus minus 500 kc or 1000 kc i sure would have seen them (i was txing with 20w in a sixfooter!!)

so ... i think its a different thing he sees on his station ... the pluto is clean (normally)

so lets ask some questions ... any switcher used to power a predriver?? (switching psu frequency may mix up with the real frequency)

or is it possible that you used an external reference on your pluto that is not clean (that also may cause unwanted signals)

tx boost engaged??

no ... do not used it!! ... using higher power of the pluto sends out higher spurious signals so using tx boost does not clean up your signal

better use lower power setting (drive 80 to 90 maximum) and add an lna

dg9bfc sigi

So,

 

Looking at logfiles it may be that the TX FIR filter is not being applied, am now working on this.

The issue:

SDRconsole produces spurious transmissions with the Pluto, abt +/- 0.5MHz and +/- 1MHz, other softwares like the "Langstone Project" and the "AMSAT_DL QO-100 TRX" do not.

 

I love to use your software on the QO-100 and I will do so in the future, but I have to be aware of the fact that I violate the international rules for Amateur Radio Operators regarding allowed spurious transmissions.

 

All the best for the New Year and mni tnx for providing us SDRconsole for free!
