"Sorry for the delay in responding. I'm still kind of a noob with github. Some stuff initially got uploaded to the wrong branch. You can ignore the comments everything was compiled from the master SiK branch.

"Lively discussion is never a waste of time. I think Michael stumbled on something really cool with the AFC tuning register.
One thing I plan to do is make a good beacon mode for the firmware. Being on frequency is helpful for that."

"@Michael Utz... That is an awesome idea! A runtime tuner is perfect! Once both radios are tuned in, the air unit can continuously adjust it's tuning value to stay matched to the ground. The air unit is likely to experience the most temp drift,…"
"I didn't find any data about the "spectacular range boost" Seems like an entertaining albeit rather pointless frequency analyzer exercise
Hopefully I haven't billed this as anything else. You are misquoting me though. The title was "Spectacular…"

So the basic procedure is to download Jake_Tune_Adjuster_(925 or 434).ihx, and flash it onto your radio using the standard 3dr radio config program.

"Point about 915 vs 433... My test firmware "Jake_Tune_Adjuster.ihx" is written for 915 radios only.
It *should* work on 433 radios, BUT it will still set them to 925 MHz. The 3 lines are these...
MyFreq = 925000000UL;
Should just have to change…"

"Re: Live autolearn tuning... I thought that it might be handy to have one radio transmit while you get RSSI from the other, and in that way tune one to the other.
In fact, RSSI does seem to work with the radios, even in their beacon state. So some…"

"I'll have the source up soon. All credit goes to Michael Smith and Andrew Tridgell.
I just kluged in some code into the at.c file to make the needed changes. It's ugly, but it does the job and wasn't meant to be flight firmware. "

"I'm running 208 (+4) on one and 199 (-5) on the other. One was high and the other low.
You certainly can just tune one or the other radio. Luckily for me, as you can see above, my radios were on opposite sides of being correct. Therefore I just…"

Works fine with my old 915 MHz v1 3DR radios. Otherwise YMMV.
The test firmware is only for testing purposes. It's poorly written and it is very easy to just grab the right firmware…"

If you happened to get one of those $7 SDR radio dongles from ebay and need to put it to work... here's one thing I tried...Tune in with the R820T... (Using HDSDR)This is both radios running on one channel. They are out of tune enough that the…

Go to the Bactrack/Kali linux download page and find the VM image (I used 32-bit on 64-bit windows).
