No Autoput Power Pluto QO100

DM6TT Marcus
Hi guys,
I have a strange behaviour that I can't sort out and need your help. My QO100 station was working without any problems for months now. After Updating to SDR-Console 3.2 I had no output power (I don't know if that was the reason, downgrding to 3.1 did not solve the problem) When I switch on TX with Tune or Tone in SDR-Console I measure only about -55 dBm directly on the pluto Drive set to 100. The first strange thing I recocnized: In the Spectrum I normally see the Tune or Tone signal, but here nothing at all. The spectrum of the output: Do you have any hints why I see now signal in the Sepctrum of the tramsit window of SDR-Console? Does someone have an idea why the TX is not working anymore? Thanks Marcus, DM6TT |

Please attach a full screenshot, not just the TX part.

Check the chip setting on the Pluto - I had a similar problem after upgrading the Pluto.

Hi Simon,
Here we are: The input (SAT.LNB) is not connected. 73, Marcus, DM6TT |

Hi Max,
the Windows Audio (MIC) setup was the problem, thanks. I changed nothing in SDR-Console, but pressed ''Reset' in App-Audio dialog (Wiondows Setup, I have the German dialogs here, so I don't know exactly how they are named in the English version). After that, I can see the Spectrum in the Trasnmit DSP dialog in SDR-Console and the Tone and Tune is working as well: Conclusion: If there is a messed up Windows Audio configuration SDR-Console will not send Tone or Tune as well. Now, my Pluto delivers about -20dBm, I will investigate further on that. First issue solved, thanks. 73, Marcus |

Hi Max,No problem Marcus. Glad we found the issue. I know this because I was also caught out some time ago with exactly the same problem. 73 Max |

Max,
Many thanks for helping, it's allowed me to get on with some coding.
