Nevermind my question about the gains, I had way too high audio gain on input to FreeDV which was distorting the sound. With the correct setting everything is fine. On September 21, 2019 3:14:37 PM UTC, walt...@k5wh.net wrote: >Adria, > > > >Yes we do use FreeDV on LSB for frequencies below

Hi Walter, That's the beauty with SDR, I don't need different hardware to experiment, I can use any type of modulation I want on the same radio device. Feel free to experiment with it yourself, the code of this is free software and it's basically just an user interface wrapper around GNU radio

Ahh, very good Adrian. Sounds like some great experimentation you have going there. I believe I remember hearing in the past that the modem in FreeDV for HF does not work as well for VHF/UHF and David created the 2400A/B modes to help with that. You might have better success trying

Hi Walter, Thanks for the info, I'll add the correct filters for LSB. I'm not using it for Taurus-1, this is still experimental and not ready to be deployed on anything serious. For LEO sattelite usage on FreeDV, I need to add Doppler tracking like I have for the other modes. This is a

Adria, Yes we do use FreeDV on LSB for frequencies below 10mhz. Perhaps I did not understand your setup completely, but it seems to be using UHF that your transmitting on. Are you setting this up for the Taurus-1 satellite? Ie.. UHF FM uplink and ssb codec-2 downlink? I have

Hi, I got FreeDV 1600 and 700C working with the PlutoSDR and the RTL-SDR. if anybody is interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s63SSf9Yhjg Many thanks to A. Maitland Bottoms who maintains the GNU radio FreeDV module. I feel that either I'm not setting the input gain into FreeDV correctly or
