BTW, Streamdeck will also do a lot of Midi emulation also. My decks with Thetis use a combo of Midi (knobs and buttons) and TCP/IP CAT.

Knob:
VFO A and B
Volume
Zoom

Buttons:
Preset power levels
memories
AGC (Auto vs fixed)
Tune
2Tone
Tune step
Voice keyer
recorder
The list goes on.

We are not your average midi users, we are HAMS!

Not sure there is a way with Midi but the way I do this is via a StreamDeck button. But that is just making a command line/batch file call (via Serial or TCP/IP) to set the drive level.

Not clear exactly what you are asking. Is it to use TCP/IP to do CAT control? if so WL doesnt support this like other programs can (e.g. another VARA mode program called VarAC will do this nicely).

Other than that WL is just like any other digital program with Thetis. Virtual Serial for CAT control ...

SC doesnt work with Flex either, I use either SDC or FRStacks3 for that.

Is there a specific reason you need to use SpotCollectors spots?

4 ways I use or have used is via TCI using:

Current way - https://www.oe3ide.com/cluster-tci-bridge/

Previous ways - https://www.lw-sdc.com/ or https://www.log4om.com/ or https://www.swisslogforwindows.com/

How many of these rigs are out there?

I think if you follow my notes up above you should be able to figure it out. A discrete data folder for each and a CLI that points to the appropriate one. Use the -nowarn argument to keep away the annoying pop-up.

I run 2 instances of Thetis at the same time, it has been covered before in the forum as to how to do this, but simply use Command Line Switches and 2 discrete data folders. Here are what my 2 look like:

Thetis.exe "-datapath:%appdata%\OpenHPSDR\Thetis-x64\7000DLE"

Thetis.exe "-datapath:%appdata ...

You can also subscribe to GitHub and get emailed updates if you wish.

I still use the CLI to select the proper database. But I also add another layer, I take the Thetis.exe and copy it in the same dir to say Thetis2.exe and use that for the second instance. But I am running 2 Thetis instances simultaneously, 1 for a 7000DLE and one for a TRX-DUO.

There is no issue running Thetis on Win 11, been doing it for several years with 100% reliability.

@Richie Just a little typo this should be .org not .com

In the Release notes:

- [add] colour picker for TX-ATT control background in appearance->general

Just looking to put this in a text overlay block to make it more visible.

Richie,

Is it possible to add a variable for text for the QSO Timer counter?

That fixed it, thanks!

I get that, just cant get the %vfoasub% variable to display anything regardless of RX2 and SubRX conditions. Will keep playing with it.

Variable %vfoasub% now displays no data regardless if SubRX is enabled or not.

I know dev_6 wip_4 is a WIP but found an issue with Text Overlay variable %vfoasub%. If you use this and turn off the SubRX the freq display goes to -999.999.000

VFOB variable nicely goes blank when RX2 is not enabled. That would be nice if vfoasub would go blank when turned off.

Your HFAUTO ap is NOT pointing to an exe

How about a screenshot of how you have it set. Autostart works fine, here is how mine looks:

Tony, I found if you use " it will prevent Thetis from opening. In that case you simply edit the db and remove those ""

So try it without the " "

e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\HamApps\JTAlert\JTAlertV2.exe /jtdx

Yes Richie, putting it through it's paces and 5b does allow command line arguments to work! Brilliant!

Using the new new start up options works fine except for programs I need to start with a command line switch, such as Log4OM where you identify the config file. If I use the command switch then the program does not open, if I remove the switch syntax the program loads.

Unless I missed it are there any articles or docs that explain these now algos?

I'm not trying to knock it, but on our eve 160M net we have had this discussion how to get around this. Currently I am using StreamDeck to send a Voice ID, but I have to hit the SD Button for it to work.

How does it prevent the ID'er transmitting when someone else is already transmitting?

Curious on what BandMaster brings to the table?

Well you have to have your settings correct. Specifically make sure you do NOT have enabled General > Ant/Filters >Antenna > Gnd BPF2 on Tx
