LimeSDR mini low output on 2.4 with LimeDVB firmware

Post by G8XZD-TV » Mon Apr 27, 2020 9:08 pm

At output 99 I get circa +4dBm on 437 and 1249Mhz; 90 -6dBm and at 80-12dBm
But at 2.4 I seem to get < -10dBm @ 99

Is this usual? What do other people get - trying to drive a Stealth 2025-44 (which needs -10dBm)and getting no where near what's expected.
All the leads are good quality and tight.

Any suggestions/comments? Has anyone plotted the output/frequency with the LimeDVB firmware

73.
Ian.

Hi Ian

Lime Gain is set and saved separately for each band.

Please confirm that you have Lime Gain set to 99 for 2400 MHz. You should then get -2 dBm output at 2400 MHz (DVB-S2, 333 kS, FEC 9/10 displaying RPi Desktop). I measured -9.8 dBm output (as you reported) with the default Lime Gain for that band of 90.
