Transmitter Software Capabilities and Issues (Jessie)
Re: Transmitter Software Capabilities and Issues (Jessie)
Hi Tim
Lime SDR Mini is very much work in progress.
The 7 inch screen does take the capability to the next level!
Edit: To other users - the 7 inch Screen and RPi 3B+ are only supported by the Portsdown "Stretch" software release - not the older Jessie release referred to in the title of this topic.

New Portsdown Jessie Software Release 201807293
This release improves the streamer viewer, adding the ability to monitor a stream for activity, and reconnect after the stream drops out. It also recycles the viewer if it starts in audio-only mode.
Also, it adds the ability to boot to the Stream Viewer and key a repeater input line when a valid stream is received. Full details here https://wiki.batc.org.uk/Stream_Receiver.

Re: Transmitter Software Capabilities and Issues (Jessie)
We've added the streaming rxr to GB3HV for beta testing and to replace the unreliable Skype system.
The receiver just looks like another input and will automatically key the logic when a stream is received. A useful addition to any repeater with an internet connection on site but be aware that the input stream will be transmitted over your transmit output and so should only be used by licensed amateurs observing their license conditions.
Please contact myself for the stream name and key if you would like to test / try it.

New Portsdown Jessie Software Release 201810311
This release is only intended for Portsdown Repeater Streamers. If you are using your Portsdown Jessie for transmission and want an upgrade, you should first rebuild your SD Card with Portsdown Stretch (instructions here https://github.com/BritishAmateurTelevi ... /portsdown). The release includes the following features:
I must stress that this is a one-off upgrade to Portsdown Jessie for Repeater Streamers only. Other users should upgrade to Portsdown Stretch.
