DATV-EASY fails to produce any RF

[G3YQC]

I can’t get DATV-EASY-v3.05 or v3.08 to produce any RF despite the correct lights appearing for ‘Start’ and PTT. I am using an Adalm Pluto loaded with F5OEO current firmware (v0303) which works fine using vMix and codec scripts. I have checked and re-checked all the settings. The correct drivers and Libiio in the package are correctly installed. All indications are that it is transmitting but there is no RF going out. Any ideas please? John G3YQC

Hello John

This happened to me too.... So I uninstalled and started again.

The result was exactly the same.

Then I noticed that under the configuration tab whilst I had set Tx Gain to 100% I had left Max% at 40% resulting in 15dB loss in output power.

Setting to 100% restored output to that of v2.17.

Hope it's that easy for you !

That’s really helpful to me ! I’ve just gone from 2.17 to 3.08 and had much less RF. seems the default setup leaves it that way !

Many thanks to both of you for replying to my question. I am pleased to say that your info has sorted out the problem here and taught me a bit more about using the program. Much encouraged I will have a go at 'Not So Easy' shortly. Thanks again and best 73. John G3YQC

A reading of the manual is always interesting
