The PLUTO PLUS is a popular full Tx/Rx SDR with some upgrades to the original. It is prolific in the homebrew builds of QO-100 groundstations. Improvements include a more stable inherent crystal oscillator, onboard ethernet, external clock input, PTT output and also makes available two Rx/Tx chains. Recently it has become competitively available from the usual far eastern emporiums. Unfortunately the small aluminium box it ships in makes no provision for dedicated external clock or PTT sockets. Its size and lack of vents encourages heat build up. Many operators just resort to removing the upper case half or reinstalling in another box.

The multilayer PCB is populated on both sides with many SMD components and care should be observed in its manipulation. It would be all too easy to damage if inadvertently manhandled.

This design accommodates the PLUTO PLUS board and makes available a c
