How can I see if I have a PreAmp Option installed?

Page 1 of 2Next

Hi,

got my ECO-150XA6 yesterday, and I wonder if the preamp is fitted or not. Can't find any traces in the licenses, however it is mentioned in the invoice.

Serial number starts C2-P-02...

Thanks for any input 🙂

Software keys (e.g. the preamp) are shown within the license manager.

I have been there already, but nothing looks like a preamp there...

Check if you have the license on USB stick (needs to be installed). You can also try to change the RefLevel. It should go to -55dBm if you have a preamp option installed.

Of course I have installed the licenses from the USB flash drive, but I found nothing about a preamp. And RefLevel does not go below -30 dBm. So I guess they sent me the wrong device, or, if the hardware already is there, forgot to send me the license 🙂

No problem. Please contact our sales. Its just a software key.

Do all devices have the preamp hardware and only activate it if the licence is applied, or does extra hardware have to be included at build time?

The reason I ask is if I buy a SPECTAN V6 now and have limited money can I pay more money later and get the preamp if I need it?

Yes its a software key.

OK, they sent me the missing key, now the preamp is active!

Hi there,

We also ordered the pre-amp option back in 2022, but the pre-amp selection is grayed out since ever.
I can also not find that item in the device list.
Pls. see below.
Could you pls. check?
Thanks!
