Hi,
I now understand that it dosn't matter what firmware is on your Pluto before installing F5OEO 0303.
When installed it automaticaly installes v0.32-dirty.
You live and learn.
Thanks to Matt for taking the time to explain this to me.

Hi,
I don’t use a Portsdown just OBS Datv-Easy and then the Pluto.
All very interesting on peoples findings.
I will continue to use 0303 with v0.32-dirty as it is working.

Hi Martin, I am looking for a firmware which allows me to use the Pluto for DATV and SSB narrow band. I want to use the PA for both. I have tried to TX and it works but I get stuttered speech. I am not sure that this is due to the firmware on the Pluto I have an old version from F5OEO. I also suspect the LAN but this works OK witrh DATV.
If you can use both with your firmware and DATV Easy, where can I get a copy of your firmware and do you need any patch?

With the older F5OEO firmware you need to select pass-through mode to use it with SDR Console and DATV mode for er, DATV use. With the latest firmware that is no longer necessary but I have not tried it, not wishing to break a working setup. I use Ethernet rather than USB, it seems more reliable.

Hi Paul,
I followed the information on Tom's website ZR6TG.

The above link should enable you to get the correct files you need.
Worked for me.
