Official bladeRF forum

Good day,

I see that the XB-200 is only compatible with the X40 and x115 versions. Can someone please explain why that is, and why it would not work for the xA9 for instance? Also is there a way to lower the xA9's frequency range to below 10 Mhz for example - whether it's a custom board/with the xb-200? And if it is possible, are there any caveats that one should look out for/disadvantages?

Thanks for your time and assistance,
Regards,
Darius

Hi
Any updates? I have the same question. I'm especially interested in frequency reduction.

If "xA9" refers to a specific term, code, or product, please provide more details so that I can better understand your request and offer assistance accordingly. A Small World Cup

The Nuand XB-200 transverter board is compatible with the bladeRF x40 and x115 models because these models have specific hardware support for the XB-200, including the necessary connectors and software integration.geometry dash The bladeRF xA9, however, does not support the XB-200 because it lacks this specific hardware interface.

Lowering the xA9's frequency range below 10 MHz without the XB-200 is challenging since it would require custom hardware modifications or an external frequency converter. These modifications could lead to performance issues, increased complexity, and potential signal degradation. It's generally advisable to use supported hardware configurations to ensure optimal performance and reliability.

Hi Darius, the XB-200 is only compatible with the X40 and X115 because those models support its required interface and firmware integration. The xA9 lacks the necessary hardware connections and FPGA resources to use it. Lowering the xA9’s frequency below 10 MHz isn’t supported natively, and custom mods or external mixers could cause instability, noise issues, or loss of calibration accuracy.
