W10 + DATV- Express SW + Lime Mini + C920.

[G8DGR]

Minitioune shows all OK but no pic. Any ideas?

Does MiniTiouner work on other signals such as 437MHz, GB3HV, Oscar 100 or broadcast satellite?

ie, is it a MiniTiouner or Tx system problem?

Hi Noel
THe only signal source I have is the Lime driven by the DATV-Express.
I don't have antennas set up for any other source. ( I can't work outside in the winter for long these days)
I am working on getting everything running on the bench pending warmer weather.
All of the parameters set in the DATV-Express config come up on the MT as expected on TX
There's just no decoded picture. I have tried most of the C920 settings.
If the weather improves then I may be able to realign the eshail dish and test the MT.

Hi Rob,

The problem is that both MiniTiouner and DATVexpress software are possible causes of no video.

With MiniTioune have you run all the test programs including video decode which will pretty much eliminate that one.

Then if the Tx is OK you will see all the "LEDs" are green on MT and you see your station ID come up along with video resolution etc....

I can always give you a signal on 70cms or you can pop over...

From 'memory' there's one extra file you need to run in the MT directory. Think that fixed the same issue for me....

USRC.ax or Lav filters maybe?

Also, if I'm right the very latest MT 989 version doesn't seem to have the test programs in the zip...

I can let you have a copy if needed...

Hi Noel
Thank you ..
It was USRC.ax not installed
All working now on MT V0.8 and 0.9
Now to see if there's enough Oomph from the Lime and its two series PA's to get 20W + from the Spectrian Amp which has tested to 25W at 2400 Mhz
Uplink 1.8m dish is in place and helical backfire feed made.
Then its a matter of waiting for better weather.
Can HV do 333k/s on 437Mhz?

Good

Can HV do 333k/s on 437Mhz?

Well it could but I've lost remote control of the PC on site so not at the moment....

What does it need to fix it?
