Re: Dead simple Arduino MIDI controller for PTT button.
Christian Veith
Hi Andrea, yes of course, but i wouldn't call it a PCB ;) Just a strip pcb meant for prototyping. The vertically arranged resistors are for limiting the LED current. The horizontally arranged resistors are pullup resistors for the VFO A, B and PTT Buttons. There are 3 KY-040 encoders completely with their own pcb and Button and Encoder Output pins. I've tried to attach them to pins having interrupts in the arduino to have a better switching sense.
I really would like to extend it to have another bunch of controls on it. I think a RX=TX (On Off), RX -> TX (Sync) would be cool. I also would like to add a Mode selector. And the top of my list would be a little display to show the selected value, when selecting something ;) But it had to be quickly available and it's working flawlessly since nearly a year.
Best regards Chris

Re: Frequency steps with Console and Lime mini
Simon Brown
Er,
No – the NCO will just make sure you’re on the correct frequency, correcting for the LO offset.
Now I also have a similar offset on RX which I can also correct.
See you in the test team group…

Thanks, Simon
Will the NCO be used to correct the frequency display so you don't get the impression it is tracking continuously when it isn't, or to allow the Lime to achieve smaller 'steps'?

Further, the hang time works exactly as it should, although the ability to make it longer than one second would be useful.

Re: The never-ending screenshot dilemna...

There are some that do not include screenshot at all, but there seem to be a large number that don’t know or understand the difference between a photo inline vs. attached as a file. I suspect some email programs don’t make it easy to force it as an attachment vs. inline, so it takes more than just a brief line to explain.

Re: #request - Receiver Unsquelched Indicator
#request
Dennis Matzen
I took a screen capture and then edited it. Look at receiver #4, I put a red dot that indicates this receiver is un-squelched. This is what I had in mind.
I guess another option would be to change the color of the label at the bottom of the receiver window (4 : 154.21 Mhz in my screen capture). Thank you -- Dennis KA6FUB

3.0.23 test wit HL2
Pete Ferrand
I'm happy to report satisfaction with the keying improvements in the above-referenced version of SDRC on my HL2 build 9 The sidetone operates with minimal delay through a USB interface - I have a server motherboard that does not sport on-board audio. Further, the hang time works exactly as it should, although the ability to make it longer than one second would be useful. This is with a Windows 10/64 system and an eight year old Asus Phenom processor, and gateware 71p0.
The one remaining problem is the inability to adjust cw power level. With all three cw level sliders at their minimum position, the HL2 produces 5 watts on 40 meters. With the sliders at other positions I see 5 watts output as well. I would like to lower the power down as PowerSDR allows to 1 and a fraction watts. Thanks. Pete WB2QLL

The never-ending screenshot dilemna...
Roy VE7DH
I just did a search through everywhere I could think of on this forum and nowhere could I find the actual instructions for correctly adding a screenshot to a message, except occasionally within a message thread.
Simon constantly has to tell people to "add a screenshot", yet he leaves out the all important "as an attachment". And since a screenshot is a picture, guess what most people will do. Other people also are constantly complaining about people adding screenshots as pictures. So, is there no way to fix this by putting up a message/note/banner of some kind that would remind folks of how it should be done? Not being a programmer or a forum moderator I probably don't have the best answer for this ongoing problem, but if possible it seems to me the best place for this reminder would be to automatically have a first line inserted whenever you open a reply box that says something to the effect of "Always include a screenshot, as an attachment". Imagine how much stress and annoyance Simon could avoid. It boggles the mind. regards, Roy

Re: Frequency steps with Console and Lime mini

OK,
What you see and what’s shown confirms the way the Lime chip works. I’ll add correction for the offset shown in the panel by adding an NCO.
I’ll invite you now to the test team, with any luck there will be a new DLL for you to test later today.

Hi Simon
Tested again Lime running at 144 transverted to 2400MHz, and the Lime running directly at 2400. Signal was a slowly changing frequency input from WSJT-X as before. Results were the same as yesterday - an apparently smoothly changing signal across the waterfall with 144 and constant frequency for some time, then a step with 2400.
I monitored the LO offset number. With both 144 and 2400, the LO offset changes as the dial frequency changes.
With 144, LO offset varied from 0 to 1Hz (sometimes 0.1 to 1.1Hz) and then returns to 0 and increases again to 1Hz ad infinitum. With 2400MHz, it varied from 0 to about 19Hz. While it was increasing from 0 upwards the RF output frequency was constant. The output frequency step occurred when it reached its maximum and then reset to zero.
3 Screenshots attached. First is 144, second is 2400 just after a freq jump, third is 2400 just before a jump.
Hope this helps.
Charlie

Re: Can't get ADALM-Pluto to work (Resend)
Roy VE7DH
Bill, If you don't feel comfortable doing the expanded frequency and dual Processor mod for the Pluto just download the Satsagen spectrum analyzer/tracking generator software and when you install the program it will do the Pluto hacks for you automatically.
Plus it's really nice software to have for your Pluto. http://www.albfer.com/satsagen-download-page/#content regards, Roy

Still confused about trunking setup with DSD+ in Console v3. SDR system is Console v3 and a Bladerf 2.0 A4 on a dual E5 Xeon, 128G RAM, Titan RTX running Win 10v1909 OS. No prior experience with trunking but know what a control channel is, have IT skills and my system works great across rest of SDR Console v3 featureset. I've occasionally heard decodes without understanding why they worked at the time.

Re: Simon - RTL_TCP RF Gain controls missing in V3
Simon, just reading through your instructions at https://www.sdr-radio.com/rtl-dongles and looks like a typo.
Where you say USB it should read TCP, see attached screenshot. BTW that statement doesn't appear to be true. The Bandwidth setting selected in the dropdown overrides that set in the terminal, well it does here anyway see sample rate screenshot. Cheers
