RedPitaya SDR project
I use simple and efficient digital setup for 10GHz based on low-cost RedPitaya and Kuhne 10GHz/144MHz transverter. The RedPitaya uses 125MHz sampling and originally it has 60MHz low-pass filters installed on-board. I have removed the filters and installed the new 144MHz filter instead. I use under-sampling on 19 MHz to get to 144 MHz.
I also have made a new 125MHz oscillator locked to external 10MHz GPS/Rubidium reference, modification is describet here.
Complete radio:
10GHz SDR RTX
10 MHZ locked TCXO
RP with input filter removed
Guys from RedPitaya were so kind to give me the Audio codec. The schematics - how to connect codec can be found here.

For the EME digital modes i use PowerSDR and WSJT-X. The commands between the two are sent via Virtual serial ports (VSPE emulator) software.
Audio is transfered over VB-Audio virtual cable.
