Today Simon Brown announced that he has SDR Console working with the Lime in TX mode. As we all know SDR Console is the best RX Software out there, and is donationware, and having played with his TX side on my Anan I am waiting with baited breath for the Lime TX release.
Alas Simon does not have an expansion board on hand so he cannot integrate the software for 0 to 10GHz whilst he his writing the TX side of SDRC with the Lime. Shame as I still dream of the Lime being a uW EME SDR TX/RX.
10G - One nice DBM and you are up there without problem…
I tested that in lab, looks ok. Just waiting for signal generator,
(EraSynth+ ,on Crowd, delay) to continue with some on air testing.
In case of further delay must look for another LO source.
Looked on Simon’s SDRConsole website and I’m not seeing any announcement regarding LimeSDR transmit - Where did you see this announcement (link)?
Transmit with the Lime has been in place and operational/usable on SDRAngel since August for Windows (Win32 and Win64) and Linux for the entire time, too. But the comparison will be interesting to see.
Thanks for the link - saw this as a post to the LimeSDR Facebook page early this morning, too - It’s good that there’s a solution for SDRConsole coming but it’s still a little further out there in time, but good to know.
Ok, thanks for the update. That was faster than expected. : )
So what are the options now for transmit?
I saw once some posts about some apps or scripts for a Spectrum Analyzer, and a Waveform Generator / Function Generator / Signal Generator, which is what I mostly need. But I haven’t been able to find them.
Any idea on those? I think it might have been GNU related or Matlab related.
I “Think” SDRAngel " is fixed, after the last firmware update. BUT, you must use the Zadig driver for the Lime.
THere have been a couple recent, or recently resurected threads on the other subjects in the past few weeks. Look around for them.
I haven’t been in the forum in a while. Now that I’m back, it looks as the forum gets bigger its harder to find the right information.
I should ask 2 more questions I’ve been dealing with.
Is there an accurate or better quick start guide these days? My old Lime computer broke. But I wasn’t able to get the software for Lime working on the newer one, despite the 10 hours I put into it. Seems to have gotten stuck at Cmake.
I’ve been thinking of hiring a programmer off of freelancer or something. Is there something I should tell them as far how to get started with it, or just let them figure it out?
Thanks! sorry if its too many questions, but my eyes have gotten sore digging through the forum for hours.
It works for me on Limesdr mini. However i cant transmit under 27mhz.
Anyone know how can i transmit in the hf spectrum?
I want to try wspr on 14mhz. I reach to the other side of the earth on 200mw. Want to check the 10mw of the mini
