Hello,
I own a LimeSDR USB board. I’m a hobbyst not an expert, so my understanding of RF is somewhat basic, but I experience some issues, that seem very strange to me and can’t really tell if it’s due to the faulty hardware, or is it just as it’s supposed to be.
I can see and hear very clearly mirrors of broadcast FM radio stations (88MHz - 108MHz in Poland) on other bands, that they shouldn’t be present on. Is it normal, or is something strange happening in my hardware?
LimeQuickTest fails with one test:
[ RF Loopback Test ]
Note: The test should be run without anything connected to RF ports
->Configure LMS
->Run Tests (TX_2-> LNA_L):
CH0 (SXR=800.0MHz, SXT=805.0MHz): Result:(-16.1 dBFS, 5.00 MHz) - PASSED

I wrote 2 time to the email which I found on the internet, which was supposed to be LimeSDR support (enquiries@limemicro.com) but nobody have never answered me.
Could anyone help me verify if my hardware works properly?
Thank you.
