Hi guys
I have a Black Radioberry board that comes from Aliexpress witch I testing out.
First with SDR-Console V3.1 2320 and it is same hardware as Hermes Lite RX works fine but when I hit TX nothing is transmitted, the PTT out on Radioberry works it activates on TX
but no RF at all.
I thought it could be some faulty board but when I tested the board in SparSDR software TX worked OK
I have seen in (Hermes Lite- radioberry google forum) that there has been problem with some Radioberry boards in SDR-Console
So is there any new news about this for SDR-Console ? can I se some logging other than the logg file what is happening when i press TX, as i mention the PTT out
on Radioberry is activated on TX so the board receives TX but can not modulate ?
The meter does not show anything either.

Hi,
I didn't even know that this board exists! You can attach the logfile and screenshots to a reply, maybe there's some information there, but again this is the first I've heard about this SDR, maybe you can send me a link?

Thanks,
Scrroll down in the TX options, please show me the Spectrum window, I want to be sure you are generating audio.
Use the Tone option as well (Drive set to 100) - we should see some ALC action, your screenshot with TX on shows no ALC so either the input device is not working / connected or there's another problem.

Hi,
You must have a Microphone connected!

Re: Radioberry black board (Hermes Lite) no TX Solved !!!
Hello again Simon , yep I have found the problem , microphone was disconnected in windows even if it was connected it was not allowed to use, i have a external mixer for all sound in/out normally so
for some reason it was not allowed directly to windows.
So now it works Ok with SDR-Console also.
I was a bit confused when i could TX with FM and AM Carrier only in the other SparkSDR but not in SDR-Console
Think's for support Simon and your great software
I have added to the subject with solved .. could not change the original top subject

Just FWIW and I MUST document this - a working microphone is needed as the samples from the microphone are used to pump the whole transmit chain. Anyway, glad it's working.PeterW wrote: ↑Wed Jan 19, 2022 6:43 pmHello again Simon , yep I have found the problem , microphone was disconnected in windows even if it was connected it was not allowed to use, i have a external mixer for all sound in/out normally so

Hello Simon
I have another question about CW, I saw in the settings that i could use a Serial comport CTS signal to activate PTT but TX (Ptt) button does not give any RF out
is there a setting for this in SDR-Console or is it depend on RadiooBerry Firmware ? (Hermes Lite)
