About this example

A Pluto transmitter sent the existing OrcSDR Robot36 test pattern on 145.500 MHz through a cable and a 30 dB attenuator to the receiver. Programmed transmit attenuation was 60 dB. The current RF level was not measured, so this example illustrates the dashboard and received picture, not receiver sensitivity or off-air reception. Pluto was muted after transmission.

Tune and inspect the signal

The Tune tab shows the receiver on 145.500 MHz using NFM, with RF and audio waterfalls. This capture was taken during the cabled Robot36 sample.
