LimeNET Micro impressions

[9a4db]

Hi Adrian,
guess you missed nice discussion with Andrew and Zack about
configuration of CrowdSupply LimeNET micro in campaign.

The LimeNET Micro campaign is live!

Just to notice that I finally opened my LimeNET Micro on intention to prepare proper case and cooling. It is so called early bird board and on my surprise it is BOM_VER 1 (R34 NF) according to: https://wiki.myriadrf.org/LimeNET-Micro_v2.1_hardware_description that means -> SDR (without duplexers and WiFi module) For my needs WiFi is not necessary but duplexers may be useful. Any way can not remember that early bird boards was expected to be crippled on major RF side…

Any way I find nice use for my board after some considerations what to do

Something I nicknamed LimeToGo… remote RX system using Soapy Remote.
Any way now have whole ICOM PCR-1000 like preselector and taking the signal at IF 10,7 MHz than go on up conversion (at the moment with MoRFeus) to 85 MHz - IF
Now just about to make mods for Virtual USB interface for GNSS Ublox M8 communication to CM3.
Final intention is to locate and monitor nearest available Galileo satellite for 1,5 GHz COSPAS-SARSAT SAR transponder.

BTW during my testing in direct USB mode was able to RX with LNA4HF lowest at 7 MHz and lowest TX signal was available at 21 MHz
