LimeSDR antenna selection #85

Closed Alle1307 closed 4 years ago

Alle1307 commented 4 years ago

Having LinHPSDR working with the Red Pitaya I decided to give it a go with my LimeSDR. I have installed the latest LinHPSDR and have connected it to the LimeSDR over USB. I have the latest LimeSDR suite installed and SoapySDR 4. On starting up it detects the LimeSDR, but I cannot configure the antenna input (LNAL), the only thing I see on the Spectrum display is a strong DC component. Using SDRAngel it seems to work okay. Is there something missing?

Thanks 73 de Alle, PE0AJF

Found out that the LimeSDR is not selected under SoapySDR as expected, but selecting the ANAND 8000 it works. Unfortunately on 2m the bandwidth is limited to 768kHz. Also there seems to be no squelch (very poor). Next task is trying to get the LimeSDR to transmit.
