@davidkierz The USB_ETHERNET section of the config.txt file in the device drive should be edited, for example: [USB_ETHERNET] ipaddr_eth = 192.168.1.88 netmask_eth = 255.255.255.0 gateway_eth = 192.168.1.1 where 192.168.1.1 is the IP address of the router.

@davidkierz Yes, it is possible. You have to specify the device IP address on the application side, from the Connection string (URI) override field in the SATSAGEN case.

A new Satsagen release with improved LibreSDR/ZynqSDR support and some other fixes is available on #content" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">albfer.com/en/satsagen-do…

SATSAGEN v.0.9.3.6 is ready for download. Added LMX2820 support. The picture shows a 10.368 GHz centered DRO filter characterization using an LMX2820 board as TX and an ADALM-PLUTO as RX.

@g5juergenm Hi Juergen, thank you for your comment. Satsagen NF/G operations do not yet support some devices because they do not have sufficient RX sensitivity for most noise sources.

@albfer6 Hello Alberto, first of all, thank you for this amazing software. Problem: when I use the Airspy mini for NF/A everything works nice. But when I try to use HackRF or RSP 1A for NF/A I get this error. Am I missing something? Juergen DD4QU.

Some functions and compatibility are improved in Satsagen starting version 0.9.3.5 for a better experience on Linux Wine. See a little tutorial at #content" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">albfer.com/en/2025/06/04/…

@marcorus 🤣

Honestly, "This time is different" is always the same Yes, every hype cycle, we tell ourselves: "This technology will change everything!" "It's a revolution!" But remember the last time we said that? I do. Think about the dot-com boom. Blockchain mania. The rise and fall of 3D TVs. We got excited. We bought in. And then reality checked in. Expectations crashed. Dreams dissolved. Yet here we are again. New tech, same story. "This time is different!" But is it really? Maybe we just love the thrill. Maybe we're addicted to the hype. But let's be honest. The cycle repeats. Over. And over. And over. So next time you hear, "This time is different," take a step back. Breathe. Think critically. Because progress takes time. Effort. Patience. Not just hype. Stay curious, but stay grounded. Don't let the cycle spin you around. Because honestly, we've been here before. And that's okay. We learn. We grow. But let's not fool ourselves. This time isn't different. It's just another turn on the same old ride. Enjoy it, but keep your feet on the ground. 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗹𝗮𝗶𝗺𝗲𝗿: 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝘁𝗚𝗣𝗧 𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗽𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘁.

My friend Gianni IW1EPY discovered a tricky problem with the ADALM-PLUTO used above specifications: #content" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">albfer.com/en/2025/06/04/… #plutosdr #satsagen

Hi All, SATSAGEN v.0.9.3.3 #Content" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">albfer.com/en/satsagen-do… Highlights: - Synthesizer Generator and Power Meter devices equipped with a GPIB interface are supported (via a GPIB USB interface like an AR488) - Up to three devices for VNA operations - LMX2595 support - AirSpy HF+ support

@MehdiHacks Using the two LMX2595 OUT+/OUT- ports in alternatives to the splitter is possible.

@MehdiHacks The next Satsagen version can handle three devices (two Plutos, one LMX2595 board, and a directional coupler) to make a VNA real two ports with up to 12 GHz, and up to 24 GHz with 40dB of dynamic in SNA operation only. 😀

Dear RF fellas, I'm looking for a high dynamic range full 2-port VNA covering up to 7.5GHZ. My budget is $10k. Apparently only PicoVNA 108 meets my criteria. Do you know anything else in the market that I've missed? (Looking for a new product. No 20-year old 30kg boat anchors)

@MehdiHacks @BoscoMac You can use Satsagen as a Noise Figure and Gain Analyzer: #NFGAnalyzer" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">www-albfer-com.translate.goog/2023/09/04/sat…

@BoscoMac Haha. You don't have noise source, I don't have noise figure meter 🙈 Well, I got it to test an offensive security idea, not for noise figure measurement.

New tool in our RF lab: 18GHZ noise source from Keysight. Its main job is to generate wide-band noise, and is mainly used to measure noise figure of receivers, amplifiers etc. And yes, that's a CD and a floppy disk in the background, containing its calibration data.

@vittben @aborgnino e quel gioiello di meccanica dell'Olivetti T2 che si animava appena iniziavano le sequenze, con il frequenzimetro a lamelle ad indicare che il motore a spazzole a 110V forniva ancora il "clock" corretto...

@albfer6 @aborgnino quante ore di Associated Press, IRNA, TACC, etc etc ... e con gli rx che slittavano di qua e di là, gli occhi sempre sulla "croce" CRT....

Esce oggi il mio primo podcast che racconta una delle mie storie radiofoniche preferite, quella delle number stations, le stazioni radio numeriche che appaiono durante la guerra fredda e continuano ad emozionarci ancora oggi raiplaysound.it/programmi/numb…

@MehdiHacks Crystal (or glass?) ultrasonic delay lines, e.g. used around '90 in video recorders.

Found while cleaning up my workshop: Japanese analog delay lines (most probably made in the 80s) Not sure why I have these.

Dear All, SATSAGEN v.0.9.2.1: #content" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">albfer.com/en/satsagen-do… - Time Domain (IF demodulation) - ADF4351 and Si5351 support - VNA dual-port/dual devices configuration - Configuration diagrams for SNA/VNA settings And many other additions, improvements, and fixes.

@F5OEOEvariste Cool!!! Does it reach 8 MSPS with two channels activated?

Decoding FM station from a 15 Mhz stable i/q streaming from pluto in CS8

Progress with new firmware (not datv). Get samplerate of 11M/s through usb using CS8 mode without drop. At same time, free web spectrum thanks to maia-sdr. Investigate with DC offset. Lot of #plutosdr features to come. Stay tuned.

@tt12514 @dddamiann On the Satsagen side, the HackRF requires quadrature tuning by opening from the menu Tools the RX Device balance settings, following these instructions: #HACKRFQuadrature" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">albfer.com/en/2021/04/27/…

@dddamiann Αριστερά o συγκεκριμένος κλώνος με το software sdrsharp, δεξιά με το satsagen σε επιτήρηση φάσματος μεταξύ 400 - 500 MHz.

Κινέζικοι κλώνοι pluto sdr που εμφανίστηκαν το τελευταίο διάστημα στο αλίεξπρες. Η διαφορά τιμής δεν αξίζει ακόμα για να πάρει κάποιος ρίσκο αλλά πολύ σύντομα πιθανόν η τιμή θα πέσει.

@ClaudiaRatti Meraviglia!

I worked all afternoon on one of husband's favorite dishes: Chiles en Nogada. It is a 200 year old recipe of poblano peppers stuffed with meat, fresh and dry fruit, all in a walnut creamy sauce. Very special combination of flavors! Bon appétit!
