[hfsig] 20M WSPR Raspi Board issue

[N7QNM]

Just tried the board with a better antenna and it seems to be working fine – I can decode locally with no issues and the signal sounds/looks (on my P3) a lot better.

 

I put the PI/TAPR Board and a POE adaptor in a waterproof Gantex box, with a 20M dipole made of fence wire.   This afternoon, it’s going up on the pergola above our deck, with the dipole in a bit of a Vee (10 degrees or so off 10 degrees) and we’ll see how it gets out.    I have a solar powered weather station on a mast in the back yard – thinking about deploying it there as an inverted V – there’s plenty of power.

I will add my two cents in... My board worked fine and is now live on 20. 

Did you tune around 14.071 freq a couple of kc's to see if you hear a tone but off a bit?

Hi, Mike – I’m having a similar issue – when I transmit; I see broadband noise (freq +/-  5Khz) and hear no tones, buts a really raspy buzz.  At first, I thought it was a power supply (POE), so I tried using a 12V battery supply with an in-line regulator,  still the same.   I’m guessing that I’m hearing the “raw” GPIO output; but wondering why.

 

Thanks in advance!

Good afternoon everyone,

 

   I recently purchased the Raspi 20M WSPR board and over the past weekend put it on a raspi.  I followed the instructions on the tapr website for installation and put on Wsprrypi following the guide.  When I run the command line in the document, it says it is transmitting but listening on the frequency I hear nothing.  I tried putting a power meter in 5 watt mode to see if the needle would even move and no luck.

 

I am not quite sure how to debug and wondering if anyone can point me in the correct directions.

 

Thank you!
