QO-100 with Pluto - tracking Tx and Rx frequencies.

#1

Unread post by g4saq »

I would like to be able to click on a signal and then transmit, knowing that my Tx frequency is correct. Is there a way of locking the Tx and Rx together, please? Perhaps I have to manually fiddle with the down converter frequency until it matches but that is an awful job. 73

On the right-hand side of the SDR console screen (on the TX screen) there are buttons to connect the TX and RX.

Many thanks for that. I have since realised my mistake (plenty of those lately!). I now understand that the 'Sync RX' button tracks the Tx and Rx frequencies. However, that only works if the Tx frequency is stable, which mine, clearly. is not. I'm off to order a better TCXO for my Pluto. Something new learned every day.
