Double frequency. #7

Closed alfille closed 7 years ago

alfille commented 7 years ago

When I ran on P1 1B I get a frequency on GP4 that is double the specified (and reported frequency). For instance, trying 20m the frequency should be 14097100+- but is actually 28194200. And my TAPR filter filters it out.

When I specify 7048550 (half the frequency) GP4 actually is at 14097100 and the beacon works at 20m.

That's very odd... Can you send me the actual command line you used?

Originally:

ExecStart=wspr -r -s -o K1PHA FN42 20 20m

(part of a systemd script)

But then to test

wspr -t 14097100

gave a doubled rate on pin 4 (measured with a HP 5432A frequency counter to the nearest Hz)

and now I use

Seems to double the frequency

so use 20 meter 14097100 / 2 = 7048550

ExecStart=/usr/bin/wspr -r -s -o K1PHA FN42 20 7048550 0 0 0 0

Sucessfully (I added to extra pauses so as not to clutter up the airwaves)

I'm still not seeing this behavior... Can someone else confirm this? Are people receiving your transmissions on the double frequency?

This is a Pi 1B. And yes, my beacon is seen in Belgium Venezuela Texas (from Boston). (This is set at 7MH read at 14MHz=20m).

It's a standard Raspbian setup, headless.
