NPR would be a much better way to test the SDR architecture, but the appropriate filters are not available to me. I used to do NPR measurements on microwave link equipment, so I am familiar with the technique.
I had a first contact using the IC9700 this evening. Admittedly it was ising the 9700 only on receive on the QO100 satellite. As much as I would have loved to use the transmit side for the uplink, I could not find an 8 pin DIN to connect up the SEND output to drive the transverter and PA, so I had to connect up the FT847 for transmit.
My contact was with G7OCD. Jason was using a Lime Mini for transmit and receive.
