Pico Tuner

Post by g3uis » Tue Feb 03, 2026 6:05 pm

New Pico Tuner (Ethernet) tested at Tim’s ( G4wim) . Returned to shack and it wouldn’t get a dhcp address on my network ( on a different subnet). Is it stuck on the original subnet perhaps, and how can it be released.

Hi

BATC Wiki on the Pico tuner says The DHCP flow can be viewed by connecting to the USB serial port just after power up.

This may help but I have never tried it.

It doesn't remember the last address it had. It always starts DHCP from scratch whenever it's plugged in.

What make of router do you have? Are the LED's double blinking?

As Keith says, you can connect to its USB port and it will appear as a COM port so that you can view the startup dialogue.

You can do this on a PC. Find the COM port in Device Manager and then unplug and re-plug it and open the COM port with putty or something similar just after you hear the USB beep.
