The Portsdown DATV transmitter project provides an easy way to “get on air” with Digital ATV at a relatively low cost, covers most of the common modes and involves some basic construction.

The aim is to enable an amateur operator with little or no knowledge of Digital ATV to construct the hardware elements, load and configure the software and use the system to send live Digital ATV signals across town on his existing aerials. It will include the new DX RB-TV modes and the ability to receive and transmit to local repeaters using the more traditional 2 and 4 Msymbol DATV modes.

It is based around a Raspberry Pi3 and uses a touch screen LCD to control all the common functions.
