8m band 40mhz activated
Posted: Wed May 15, 2024 11:39 am
In PowerSDR ke9ns v2.8.0.300 I have opened up the 8m band (40mhz) for transmit.
This uses the 6m calibrations for the PA (since the Calibration routines do not have any 8m info)
And there is no 8m LPF and hopefully the radios firmware should be using the 6m LPF for the 8m band.
It appears to transmit power (into a dummy load) just fine.
For those with authorization To transmit on 8m, you will need to "Extend" or "Mars" the radio CTRL+SHIFT+D, Low Level Hardware tab, select Mars.
When after rebooting, you will need to open Setup->General->Options->Update BandText
Please let me know if you are able to use this band successfully (both Receive and Transmit)?
