BATC Forum

Hi all,

I have an old Portsdown unit with IQ modulator without any use as I removed the 7" LCD for my Portsdown 4 version, but thanks to this forum I found out a new 5" LCD compatible and very cheap at mouser, the problem is when I use the Portsdown 2020 version I can't see the IQ filter modulator available on the menu, as far I could read on batc wiki, it seems compatible ...

>> DVB-S Transmissions using a BATC Filter-modulator board

So, for anyone using this old system, can you confirm that 2019 is the last version for the IQ board ?

Hi Jacinto

Are you sure that you have the Portsdown 2020 software? Maybe you have Portsdown 4 by mistake?

I have just tested the latest Portsdown 2020 software with a Filter Modulator board and it works perfectly. You do need to select "Portsdown" as the "Output to" device.

Hi Dave,

This old unit has an RPI3B+ and later I instaled the 2019 and I have the "Porstdown" choice ...
I received the LCD yesterday and it was really late when I tried so I also could have done some mistakes, will try one more time when I get home, many thanks for testing and confirming it's working!!!

Hi Dave,

Yesterday I tested again Portsdown 2020 and as you said there is indeed the Portsdown choice and everything works OK ...

Sorry and thanks again ...
