Setup examples

This example describes connection of a ColibriNANO + RPi4 set up for remote operation with a local Expert Electronics transceiver (MB1, SunSDR2 DX/PRO/QRP).

1. Set up remote ColibriNANO + RPi4 following the instruction.

2. Launch ExpertSDR3 on a local PC. Enable ExpertSync in the Device Manager with default Server port 50040.

3. Start local transceiver ExpertSDR3 instance, then start remote ColibriNANO ExpertSDR3 instance.

The device you launch first acts as Main. This feature doesn't have particular functionality at the moment, it is reserved for further development of the ERS.

At the moment if you use two transceivers this way both will turn to TX mode when you enable it from any instance by any means (TX button, PTT, etc.)

4. Enable E.Sync in the transceiver's and then ColibriNANO's ExpertSDR3 instance (button will turn green).

5. Voilà! ExpertSDR3 instances are synced, tuning frequency in any instance will have effect on both. You can lower or mute local transceiver instance and listen to remote ColibriNANO (which is probably placed somewhere far away from air noises). When you turn to TX mode with local transceiver, ColibriNANO will be muted.

This example describes connection of a ColibriNANO + RPi4 set up for remote operation with a local Kenwood TS-2000 transceiver.

1. Set up remote ColibriNANO + RPi4 following the instruction.

2. Connect a classic transceiver to a local PC via COM-port or USB-COM adapter (example below). Make sure that COM-port is displayed in Windows Device Manger. Install proper drivers for your COM adapter if necessary.

3. Launch ExpertSDR3 on a local PC, then start remote ColibriNANO ExpertSDR3 instance and RadioSync.

4. Make sure that ExpertSDR3 instance and RadioSync have the same TCI port.

5. Setup Rig Sync (in Experimental state) in RadioSync for your classic transceiver (TS-2000 settings as an example below). In the Port name field indicate the COM-port used by your transceiver (displayed in Windows Device Manager).

Remember that each classic transceiver has its own settings.

6. Enable TCI in ColibriNANO ExpertSDR3 instance and a SyncPair unit you've set up earlier.

7. Voilà! ExpertSDR3 instance and your classic transceiver are synced, tuning frequency in ExpertSDR3 will have effect on a transceiver and vice versa. When you turn to TX mode with local transceiver, ColibriNANO will be muted.
