Re: Transverter for HL2 etc.

Hi Paul

Thanks for information. That is certainly interesting. A little more expensive than I was looking at and also I am not a great digi-modes person, but I will certainly keep an eye on it.

Here is some info from DEMI, a very well known USA company, on their latest transverter.

DEM V/U XVERTER is a multiband transverter with six separate I/O ports covering up to 6 separate amateur radio bands between 4M and 13 cm. All frequencies convert to/from 28/29 MHz.

This is not a cheap transverter but for 6 bands AND stability I actually think it is very cheap..... From the sales literature

In your video the processor load is reasonably high, well higher than mine, so you might try altering the execution priority. You can raise the priority to “above normal” from program options startup which, I believe raises the priority whenever the program starts. The brute force way is from Windows Task Manager by finding SDR Console, going to details and setting “real time” in the change priority. To keep things simple you have to do this every time you run the program.

I have very occasional sound breaks and changing priority reduces the effect to almost non existent. At least if it changes the rate at which breaks occur you know its something to do with load/Windows grabbing resources etc.

Shutting down anything you can that is running in the background on the pc may also help.

Hope that helps.

Hi Martin
The development of Omnirig v2.1 was sponsored by myself :-)
http://www.hb9ryz.ch/omnirig/index.html

But it works only with the latest Swisslog version and HDSDR.

Can you not use V2.x of Omnirig, it supports up to 4 rigs?

SDR Radio Console without Omnirig with direct CAT Control (external Radio) for IC-9700 #usb #ic-9700 #cat #icom

Wolfgang Sidler

#57163

Hello
I'm using the external Radio feature with omnirig with my IC-9700 for the QO-100. It works fine but I had to tweak the IC-9700 Rigi INI-FIle.

I have three different ICOM Transceivers and would like to use the IC-7700 and the IC-7610 with Omnirig v1.19 as RIG 1 and RIG 2.
As you know, omnirig is only supporting two RIGs concurrent.

So, how can I connect the IC-9700 via USB directly without Omnirig as an "external Radio" in order to synchronize the freq. of the IC-9700 with SDR Radio Console for the QO-100 SAT operation?

Any idea?

Subject: [SDR-Radio] Easiest/cheapest way to 6m/2m/70cm?

I have Hermes Lite 2 which seems now to be working extremely well with SDRC as a very effective HF station and GC HF receiver.

Now I am looking to have a play with other bands, particularly 50 MHz, but also maybe 2m and 70cms. Just wondered if there are any opinions on how best to achieve this with SDRC and maybe also the HL2?

I can see there are some very well priced 6m/2m/70cm transverters from the Ukraine on eBay. Has anyone got any experience of these units?
https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/221828490344

If not transverter (or perhaps a different model) then what else? I thought initially Pluto, but it does not seem to go low enough in frequency? Maybe 70 MHz but not as low as 50MHz?

Suggestions? I don't want to spend big bucks as usual!

Many thanks

Max

if you connet your sdr to if out then no need for the spyverter ... only sdr needed then (example an rtl dongle should do the job fine)

in hdsdr you can set that the sdr is connected to if and not to antenna (and then via omnirig both can be synced)

or you can set that sdr and rig share same antenna (not on if output) but then you need the spyverter (shortwave upmixer)

....

and the same can be done in sdr console (set sdr to if out or share antenna between rig and sdr) ... see picture

the setings here in that screenshot (63 megs) is just an example and depends on the rig used

Hi All

may i interject a question, or if untimely i can wait to explore this with those interested...

i’d like to use sdr-c & omnirig with an ft-817

to see the IF and click on active signals to tune the 817

but if i understand correctly, the sdr (airspy+spyverter) must remain tuned to 63.xxx mhz (IF)

as the actual freq will not be tuned by the airspy, thus it will not pass the selected freq through omnirig to the 817 (?)

can this only happen by splitting the antenna feed between both airspy and 817, so that both sdr & 817 are tuning to same ?

Thanks in advance

That's more like it. It is readable Nothing comes to mind for me. I think I remember you cited choppy audio with an audio clip that was not conducive to hearing the chopped audio. I heard a very tinny and weak voice in the background that was all treble with little bass.

I would fiddle with the Rx Gain control. I do NOT know typical good settings for the Lime so it'd be time to experiment. You might have the gain high enough that you are seeing crossmodulation problems.

If the audio really is choppy try bringing up Google Earth in hte background doing nothing. Sometimes that will cure choppy audio.

Others might have better suggestions.

If you can go backwards in revisions with their installers then load the new one and test it yourself. Report the problems to Simon, if any. Then if there are show stopper problems go back to the version you are using now.

Does the cause "any" problems for the present vers. of Console ?

If it does, will it be corrected on new Console vers to be releases shortly ?
