Some better news U2
QRPLabs
This morning I got round to sorting my arrangement for using my external LPF's with the U2. I now have the possibility of output on any band except for the moment 136KHz.
The 200mW of RF out

Re: Ultimate2 kit status summary
Hi Keith
Can you give me a photo of how it looks with the digit missing off the
right? Or, write out exactly the display, character by character? Then I
can try to get it corrected/moved.

Re: U2 Frequency and 1PPs
Ok Andy, Colin!
Ok! I will add an indication that GPS lock has occurred! One more for the
wish-list!

Re: Wish List
Hi Eddie
That's an interesting request, and I can certainly see the use of it! I
added it to the wish-list!

Re: Ultimate2 kit status summary
Hi Hans,
I've been doing some testing and changing the SPEED parameter so that my callsign fits nicely in ten minute frames - If I set speed to 10 then my callsign fits with 20 seconds to spare so

Re: U2 Frequency and 1PPs
Mmmm, tried "all"? settings. freq stays at 125.000.000. Time does not get updated
It seems to sulk with GPS on and do nothing. tried inverting and all pulse width up to 50%. GPS is GARMIN GPS16 LV

Re: IW2DZX WSPR
Also I forgot to add something regarding my original spectrogram
tests.
Whilst watching the signal when receiving only the two bit streams,
the same could be heard on the receiver.
It was just like

Re: IW2DZX WSPR
Well I know for a fact that I did have my own 28Mhz WSPR decoding
at one point on whatever 10m random freq I chose for the test.
Then I moved to another, and it all went skew whiff.
I have no doubt

Re: U2 Frequency and 1PPs
That sounds like a good idea to me, how about some 'square brackets' around the Locator i.e. in my case IO84 becomes [IO84]?

Re: IW2DZX WSPR
Yes Hans
Its a funny arrhythmic problem when it variable.
I have done some more investigations I will contact direct.

Re: U2 Frequency and 1PPs
Is is a good idea to have a small indication on the LCD when in
normal operatin gmode that indicates that the GPS has locked ?
That would save having to check the DDS Ref Freq menu.
Hans ?

Re: IW2DZX WSPR
As the other Andy says, more confusion. Although I remember you having your signal on 28MHz WSPR on your Grabber and the tone spacing was most strange, stretched at the bottom. Probably WSPR can

Re: IW2DZX WSPR
My U2 kit was also very happy on 10m wspr. I moved it to 20m now and all is well there too.

Re: GPS behaviour very inconsistent
It's quite entertaining that ADAfruit call it the "Ultimate GPS module"....
and here we are playing with what *I* called the "Ultimate" QRSS kit!

Amazingly, Aldo IW2DZX continues to operate 10m WSPR successfully with the
Ultimate2 kit, see http://tinyurl.com/plqpk29
Aldo tells me that he is using 3x BS170 transistors in the PA, operated

Re: QRSS ARDUINO shield questions
Hi Colin
Yes, I see. Yes, you can provide a battery voltage > 7V, through the Vin
pin, on my QRSS Arduino shield. The QRSS shield provides access to all the
usual Arduino connectors on the two 6-pin

Re: U2 Frequency and 1PPs
The DDS oscillator will have its calibration figure altered by the GPS 1PPS, changing up or down from 125 000 000 and of course the signal output will be accurately on frequency. Providing you have
