DOWNLOAD DATV-Easy v3.08

[radiogareth]

Needing a source for 5.7GHz DATV (IARU contest) I have had another try with 3.08 and my Pluto with 0303 in it.
It really does not like to work with OBS, yes, it produces RF but there is no data sent - minitiouner reports 100% Null and the data rate shows 0kbs.
It does work OK with C920 however.
Regardless of source(C902 or OBS) the Pluto continues to send RF even when I click STOP and/or EXIT in 3.08. This happens on my main PC too (2.17) but as I use the PTT to control the amp pre-driver this is not an issue.
Anyone else noticed this or have I missed something??

Gareth,

Same problem with v. 0303 and DATV-Easy 3.08.
I reverted back to F5OEO v 2110:
- DATV-Easy 3.08: Pluto F5OEO old selection
- PD4: benefit useable at 5.7 GHz ( recommended FIRM2101RC doesn't)
- MER: higher compared with later FW versions

Thanks Freddy, could you confirm that with "F5OEO v 2110" in the Pluto it works fine with the Portsdown 4 at 5.7GHz??
Even though Portsdown might say that it should have the 'For the Brave/ dirty' software installed?

If yes, that's great news. I will try later.

Thanks Freddy, I can also confirm that it works
No RPI-Camera or C920 on the PD4, but that is not important at the moment.
Good spot, I'll try it with my laptop now and see what happens with that.

Further testing shows that if I turn Audio OFF, I get a picture transmitted from both the RPi camera and the C920. If I select audio from the C920 I then get audio from both Test card and Contest numbers don't transmit any audio regardless.
Good enough for QSO's
