Well, that is super awesome news 😊
Glad you guys made these improvements. How would I know this, I don’t think I have seen this information anywhere?

C UBX-40 daughter cards Hi John/Robin: The calibration utilities rely on leakage across the RF switch. The newer UBX boards (rev C and later) have RF switches with much higher isolation. The benefit is a lot less leakage from TX onto RX. The drawback is that the calibration utilities will only work if you connect the TX/RX to the RX2 port with a 30 dB attenuator in line.

We’re generally using offset tuning, but we still need that extra 15-20 dB suppression we get from the calibration procedure. The issue we’re seeing with these newer Rev C boards, though, is that the calibration doesn’t just fail to improve LO suppression; it actively makes it worse. Offset tuning is pretty fruitless when the LO spur alone is >0 dBm at the mid-point of available RF gain.
