[hpsdr] Problem with Penny!

[Phil Harman]

Hi Peter,

I hope Bill can help you with the software problem, I'm using the same version of PowerSDR and do not see that issue. 

The present code in Penelope should allow you to get 0.5w out with the ALC running. Have you tried adjusting the per-band gain in PowerSDR to get some more drive or are you finding that the ALC is restricting you to 140mW?

  Hi all,

  Penny worked on transmit without Janus installed giving 140mW out using an earlier version of the PowerSDR software - can't remember which one, but when I updated via svn to the latest version (PowerSDR branches kd5tfd PennyMerge 1.10.4 + Base SVN 2326), the PowerSDR load fails with a message asking if Janus is installed/powered. The problem is peculiar because it is intermittent. The setup is just Ozy + Penny on the Atlas bus, - using entirely separate receiver not SDR1000. Any advice please?
  On another issue - is a general release coming soon which allows Penny to operate at 0.5W output - with ALC disabled? I don't have any facility here to delve into the source code.
  Thanks
  Pete G3LWT
