Hey Folks,
I’m having some problems with my LimeSDR-USB; I was one of the original backers, and since I first got it I haven’t had any luck in using it. I tried reinstalling and following multiple guides, but had no luck - I even got to the stage that I was recompiling the libraries in case it was a dependancy problem.
Never the less, recently I’ve tried again from scratch - running Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS, and installed from scratch following this guide: Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, GQRX, Limesuitegui, gr-limesdr, LMS7002Soapy and Qspectrum
I’ve then run LimeQuickTest and consistently get the RF Loopback tests failing (as shown below). I’ve run LimeUtil --update to update to the latest firmware successfully, and LimeUtil --find shows the device.
Does anyone have any suggestions/recommendations, or am I out of luck?
Thanks in advance.
LimeQuickTest --no-gui
