Hello Group,

For your information i compared my freshly built Langstone/portsdown PI4 with my FT736 on the 1296.000 EME beacon ON0EME using 6 meter dish pointing to the moon and a G4DDK preamplifier. Both receivers on a digital audio mixer.

I can't give you any measurements unfortunately, but the reception is quite okay imho.

Here's the link to Youtube:

Got the reception compared to my Yaesu FT736 using WSJT software, and both the Langstone and FT736 give exactly the same RX report on the ON0EME beacon :-) good news!

Anyone knows wether this Pluto is used for 6cm EME?
