    Hi Sarah. What a great bit of software. Got it running with my Pluto+ over LAN. Had to connect with USB first to get connection. then go to settings and I could then change IP address (lower case) then disconnect USB. Bingo. Works a treat. Thanks for heads up. Take care. :-)

      When I first read this I thought you were talking about just running the Pluto itself over the LAN
      It's good to hear that it also works with the Pluto Plus

      @@SignalsEverywhere Hi Sarah. I know a lot of people are apposed to the rising number of "clones" on the market. But I have 3 Adalm Pluto's (They're great .. don't get me wrong)
      But the pluto + is everything a pluto should be !!. ... A tad more expensive but much more accurate clock (plus the ability to gps lock) the LAN is a big bonus and not forgetting the SD card slot. I still use the Adalm Pluto's with mods. But again many thanks for bringing the software to my attention. Very very useful. Please keep up your you tube video's ... Awesome content. thanks for reply. Please take care. :-)

      The Pluto SDR Plus is something that I definitely do want to take a look at, and I'm sure I will at some point.
      I do try to avoid clones and that's generally for the sake of trying to send support to the original developers.
      That being said, yes it sounds like this is basically the upgrade that takes it from an experimental learning tool into a device that you can use for damn near anything.
      When I have the extra cash on hand or if I can have somebody provide one to sponsor on a video at some point then I will absolutely be covering it

    i do use Satsagen since day one, i just love it. i use it most for really fast antenna alignments. With pluto sdr i can see a big chunk of spectrum and transponders almost in real time (depending on span Mhz)

    Nice! Thanks for the video! Have you ever used the wide band noise source on the Ham-It-Up upconverter? This works well with the RTL-SDRv3 dongle to check the FM and AM Broadcast band filters response. I'm sure it would work better with a calibrated SA! Thanks again.

    Another excellent video!
    I've had my PlutoSDR for couple years, seen this software but never installed it.
    If it ran on a Raspberry Pi you could make nice piece of stand alone test kit.
    I've been working on designing a universal VHF to Microwave transceiver for ham use using mine, add some decent filtering and a power Amp.
    Got a ways to go though...

    • @SignalsEverywhere
      @SignalsEverywhere  2 года назад +2

      There is a way to run it under Mono but I'm guessing the Pluto isn't going to handle emulation well. A raspberry pi, maybe?
      There is some linux tools available but this has been the most solid I've found so far for this kind of work. I will eventually cover something under linux.

      Thanks for the input. I have not had much success running my PlutoSDR on my Raspberry Pi 4 (4gig) under Raspian or Ubuntu. Under Ubuntu on my pc either.
      Works OK on my PC using Windows 10/11 though. You're right, running it in a container or with Wine would probably be slow if not unusable.

    Great video Sarah! I was looking for this, I am planning to buy an SDR and use it as a low cost spectrum analyzer for my studies of Bluetooth, Wifi and LoRa communication certification process. I really don't know the accuracy of this SDR compared to a real spectrum analyzer for this purpose, could you go a step further and compare it? I think a lot of novice RF engineers would appreciate that, thanks.

    Any thoughts on the LimeSDR.. it seems to be at a similar price-point as the PlutoSDR. On paper the LimeSDR seems to have better specs, but not sure about the software support.. for example, Matlab seems to fully support only the PlutoSDR.
    Or thoughts on the TinySA (Spectrum Analyzer), or the nanovna?
