Chris,

I assume you are referring to packets you are generating locally.

I’ve only tested with the Pi boards and noticed no difference with locally generated signals between the 70cm board and the 2-meter board after getting the frequency correct.

My 2-meter Pi board appear a bit deaf on signals from the local APRS digipeters.

Guess I need to get the LaunchPad set up.

I’ll review the schematic on the daughter board but the schematic should be identical to the Pi schematic.

Let me explore.

Jim,

I have the AX5043 working on 145.835. It ranges correctly and receives packets. At least it receives them some of the time. It seems to be quite deaf compared to wje it was working on 436.8, which is my 70cm RX frequency. That receives every packet without error.

I had the same issue on 70cms until you told me to tweak the frequency. But with the TXCO it seems to be right on frequency. I ran a test to TX on the RX frequency and it seems to be correct according to my TinySA.

thoughts?

Chris
