Pluto on QO-100
Simon Brown • January 17, 2020
Works Well!
One of my Pluto units has been modified to use an external 40 MHz reference input, I use a unit from Leo Bodnar so it's nice and stable.
The pluto drives a CN 0417 pre-amplifier
which in turn is driving a SG Labs 20W amplifier, output ~ 5W.

After too much grief, I've decided to stop using Wi-Fi to connect the small NUC systems in the computer room to my network: DX Cluster (Ubuntu) SDR Server (Windows) User Forums (Windows) These servers are in constant use, causing the wireless transmitter on my TP-Link AX50 to fail. By switching over to a wired network there's less demand on the wireless transmitter and the whole network has become far more reliable. In future I will only use Wi-fi when there's no alternative. I'm keeping a spare router ready just in case the AX50 fails.
Inside All this equipment is installed in my computer room, next to the office.
