Adding an external AFEDRI-Net
sm6fhz
Hi Simon and all.
I think it has been discussed before, but it became evident once again :-) I wanted to make an "Identity" especially for NDB's using my remote AFEDRI-Net. However, I could not find a way to "find" the AFEDRI and connect to it from this new identity. "Search" did not work, naturally, as it is not in my local network. Using the "Add" dialog box there is no such choice for Dll's as AFEDRI-Net. I did manage to set up the remote AFEDRI-Net as a NetSDR. Some features differs like BW and Gain settings but it works. I have one Identity running with the remote AFEDRI-Net but that was set up with the AFEDRI-Net locally and after that edited to the correct IP address. This was not an option now as the AFEDRI-Net is remote now, not local :-( Works fine, but I could not find a way to copy this definition to the new identity :-( Is there such an possibility? It would be very convenient if the AFEDRI-Net was an alternative in the "Add" dialog window to make it possible to set-up and connect to a remote AFEDRI-Net. 73 / Ingolf, SM6FHZ |

It comes from hard drive manufacturers and the desire to shave off a bit of size to make some profit. Hard drives are sold by 1000 bytes to the kB instead of 1024 bytes to the kB. As this expands to larger sizes, this allows hard drive (or SSD) manufacturers to sell a 4 TB drive that has 361 GB less storage than expected. At these sizes, that little change from 1024 to 1000 certainly adds up. Windows uses 1024 bytes to the kB (and so on up the chain). That's why when you put in a hard drive in Windows, you see less than expected. Here is an example. I have three 4 TB drives in a RAID array on my server. Yet these supposedly 4 TB drives (that say 4 TB on the box and label) really just have 3.639 TB of storage. That's 9% shaved off - or 361 GB. That is indeed quite sizable. Across these three drives, the amount of storage that has been shaved off is approximately 1 TB! With three 4 TB drives, I would expect to have 12 TB of storage. Yet I only have 10.9 TB of storage.
When hard drive manufacturers started this nonsense, they used to put fine print on the package saying that they defined a kB (or MB or whatever) as 1000 instead of 1024. Then they got the idea to simply rebrand the measurements so that no fine print was needed. That was certainly evil, but rather ingenious. This sort of thing unfortunately happens quite often.

The adalm pluto has drivers that has to be installed, go to their
web site and read about how to install and access the device. On 1/9/2022 3:16 PM, Siegfried

I only experienced the problem over ethernet, not over USB. After I did the ground mod, the problem went away. But last week I've put a 20 meter network cable instead of a 2 meter one, and the problem is back.
In my case, the problem is triggered by a light in the house with a motion detector. If someone passes by and the light goes on, it seems to trigger some noise/spike on the cable to the pluto and I loose the connection. Only solution is powering off and on the pluto to bring it back. I was looking at the Pluto+ last week: built-in ethernet, metal casing, better crystal standard. Wondering if it would be more stable. |

Per
1 Mebibyte (MiB) equals 220 or 1,048,576 bytes. 1 Megabyte (MB) usually refers to 106 bytes (1,000,000) bytes. So I seriously doubt this is misspelled by Simon. 73 de LA9XKA - Per On 09.01.2022 21:21, daiche via groups.io wrote: Simon! |

Siegfried - Not familiar with the PLUTO radio but it seems it plug's into a USB port. If RTL_test does no work, then a backup maybe learn how to run
WINDOWS MUTT to see if there are I/O errors on the USB port. My 2 Cents. JPH

Horror of Horrors! The word Megabyte is misspelled as Mebibyte in the panel listed above. I am sure that is causing some obscure problem in SDR Console. HaHa! Regards, Dave Aichelman N7NZH Grants Pass, Oregon |

in most times replacing the cable helps a lot cause in the cable is the "flexible" (worn out) part of the usb connector dg9bfc sigi Am 09.01.2022 um 16:18 schrieb Roy

Re: Server: Getting Started With ?
#sdrserver
You have to run the server application to get your SDR’s online to act as a server. I wouldn’t recommend running the app unless you really want to put them online. Once you run the app once (just once) the default settings kick in, and your inoperative server will be pinging Simons site every 10 secs with error codes until you open ports in your router and forward the open port to the specific computer hosting the SDR’s.
There is a step by step tutorial for that to which I posted about the same time as the link above. 73 Kriss KA1GJU/AM |

Re: Server: Getting Started With ?
#sdrserver
It’s all in most very old post here:
https://sdr-radio.groups.io/g/main/message/51635 You may have slightly different screens due to already having your ‘local’ SDR definitions built. As the document mentions, be sure NOT to hit replace definitions when adding servers. You want to ADD to your list of definitions. Sitting in an airplane in Boston, MA… 73 Kriss KA1GJU |

Douglas, the usb connectors on the Pluto are not of the highest quality and if you do enough connecting/disconnecting you will find they start to fail.
It is a very good idea to always have the second usb power-only connection in use at all times. This helps alleviate a lot of problems. Also, not all usb cables are equally good as far as the quality of their connectors. Some certainly have a better, more solid fit than others. And finally, replacing the on-board connectors is not trivial, unless you have very good smd skills and equipment. regards, Roy |

Server: Getting Started With ?
#sdrserver
rmrrgs <rgsrose@...>
Hello,
Thought it was about time I learned something about Servers, so have started trying to learn about accessing a remote radio in other parts of the world via Console. Really sounds interesting. At this time, I am not interested in putting any of my radios on line. Once I get going, will strongly consider doing so though. Have read all the setup instructions, several time, but as expected I have several questions. And, as usual, probably even more later. In Radio Definitions:
Is this putting my radio on-line, or just to allow access to Servers elsewhere ? If the latter, why is my radio called for; wouldn't it be only the remote radio that is required ? Firewall:
Where does one find the "IPV4 dotted address" that is asked for ? I'm running W10.
Bandwidth:
Do I want LAN or WAN ? What's a good default value to start out with ? And, How do I pull up the map from Console showing the world wide Servers, and what's presently on-line, ? Much thanks, appreciate the help, Bob |

Doug - I assuming you are plugging your pluto SDR into the computer and have tried various ports. Get a copy of rtl_test.exe on your computer, and install it some where convenient. https://osmocom.org/projects/rtl-sdr/wiki/Rtl-sdr , or just
google rtl_test . My case I created a rtl_test directory on my C drive: Key [Widnows]r cmd {Enter] cd C:\rtl_test rtl_test -d 0 (This will show lost/dropped data between the
computer and your SDR dongle) If you get a continuous stream of dropped bytes try [RESTARTING] your computer. In my case a second had laptop has and issue starting/communicating with the USB ports. By restarting after first turning the computer on the communication issue resolves it self with only a few random drops here and there. JPH On 1/9/2022 7:56 AM, Douglas Pervine
