BATC Forum

Hi Dave,

Just updated to the latest version for my Portdown and that all appeared to go ok.
I checked the LimeMini config and got the following screenshots - any suggestions on the failed LimeMini tests and how to proceed?

Hi Ciaran

I note that does not appear to be a BATC LimeSDR Mini, as it is Hardware Version 1, but it should not fail like that. My version 1 passes that test.

The update appears to have worked OK, but the LimeSDR fails LimeQuickTest (used to generate the test report in the first photo).

Questions to consider:

Have you ever run LimeQuickTest on it before? Does it still work as a transmitter? Are you still within the warranty period? Does it pass LimeQuickTest on a PC? Are you using a powered USB hub?

If you want to return it, you will need to post details on the Lime Microsystems forum: https://discourse.myriadrf.org/

Sorry, meant to add that I have also tested the LimeMini on my laptop with DVB-Express s/w and it works as expected.

Thanks Dave,

Using the LimeMini on my laptop with USB3 ports, the test app gives me which is a change from a while ago.

Just checking about the warranty but I can tx on both the low and high bands on the lime using the Express-DVB software.

Digging out a different powered hub just to see if that makes a difference.

Hi Ciaran

If it works with Express, there is no reason why it should not work with Portsdown. None of the tests are required for transmit.

I can see that this is going to be a challanging day !
That is after unplugging it from my laptop, removing and replacing the stock antennas and plugging it back in.

Will let you know about the retest on the Portsdown.

Warranty, btw, assuming 12 months from dispatch is about 2 weeks out!
