Lime mini USB to 23 dbm + whatdo u use?
Posted: Sun Oct 30, 2022 1:46 pm
Hi all
My chinese driver amp has died so I am looking for a better solution to increase the gain of my Lime mini USB.
I have measured the output on my HP 436A and it is about -7 dbm (0.19W) qhen set to a sym rate of 33, FEC 9/10 and gain 100
Using latest Portsdown 4 and connected to USB " of pi.
With the failed amp and driving this into my AMSAT driver amp, I get 16dbm (40mW)
I have ordered another AMSAT UK Amp to make as a driver ie, two AMSAT UK amps but wondered what others use to get this tiny output from the lime up to something useable for driving a bigger amplifier?
TIA
