FTDX3000 Panadapter using IF OUT
Posted: Tue May 29, 2018 6:24 pm
Hello Group!
I am very new to the SDRplay world!
I am attempting to connect my RSP2Pro to the IF Output of my FTDX-3000 to serve as a panadapter.
I an attempting to use SDRUno.
I previously had set up OMNIRIG and it is working properly.
In the MAIN SETTINGS-->ORIG screen I have SET IF FREQUENCY to 9000000. And clicked ENABLE.
However, when I click on an amateur band ... say 40m. The Waterfall is showing the correct information about 85 kHz low. Then, when I tune the VFO on the FTDX3000 the waterfall moves up and down ... in the correct direction. So, when I tune 85 kHz down I hear the signal through the SDRPlay, but it reads 85 kHz low on the FTDX3000, with no signal heard (correctly).
I must be missing some setting.
I saw a reference in this forum to a Facebook page about the SDRPlay products as panadapters, but I am not a Facebook user.
I have done a wide search on Google and have found nothing that gives step-by-step instructions for setting this us, which seems odd. I am sure a LOT of folks have made this work.
SO ... if you can offer any help here I would be ever so grateful!
