Ryde receiver works with Picotuner over USB but not over the LAN
Posted: Fri Sep 26, 2025 10:16 pm
Hello,
This is my first post here in the BATC Forum, and I am trying to get the PicotunerWH to work with the Ryde receiver.
1.) After running the netcat -kluv 9997 command on the Pi I get the correct data screen with an IP of 192.168.1.130
2.) When I run the: echo "[to@wh] rcv=1 freq=2395000 offset=0 srate=1300 fplug=a" | netcat -uw1 192.168.1.130 9920, it seems to take the command without complaining, but the monitor still says "Source not Connected"
3.) I can ping the PicoWH at 192.168.1.130 on the PI successfully.
4.) A strange thing I noticed is that the PicoWH will only get a DHCP IP immediately after I flash it with the .uf2 file. If I power it down after it is flashed it will not get the DHCP IP on power (solid double green LEDs). I have to load the .uf2 file again to get the DHCP IP. I am flashing it with the ptwh0v3e-w5100s.uf2 file.
Am I missing something or doing something wrong? I am trying to receive 2395 MHz with a 1.3msPS rate and this works with the USB port.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
