SX1301 Calibration Test #142

Closed sgodey closed 3 years ago

sgodey commented 5 years ago

Hello:

I am seeing a calibration test failure when I am running it on my RAK2245 concentrator on a RaspberryPi 3B. Below is the log output. Can the experts review this and let me know what is it I am doing wrong?

thanks in advance, Sreekanth

Below is calibration log which report problem with radio A for image rejection and radio B for TX imbalance.

Can experts comment on this? Is my concentrator bad?

In an effort to improve our customer support experience and in recognition that our support backlog on GitHub has historically exceeded the capacity of our engineering team, we have taken the difficult decision to focus on the most contemporary issues reported and to close all others without confirmation of resolution.

Our belief is that issues which have remained unresolved and unaltered for extended periods of time are less likely to continue to pose a significant problem to the user than when they were originally filed. More contemporary issues however may still be relevant and hence are more appropriate to prioritize.

For those users who remain interested in resolution of a reported issue that was closed, we are encouraging usage of our developer portal forums [https://forum.lora-developers.semtech.com/] and commercial support portal [https://semtech.force.com/ldp/ldp_support] as the preferred avenues to receive support. We will continue to monitor the GitHub issue trackers as well, but want to encourage all users to take advantage of the increased community presence on the developer portal. For commercial customers, we highly recommend using the commercial support portal which is uniquely tailored to service such support requests.
