APACHE LABS All band all mode or UHF\VHF hardware

Not sure where the best place to ask this question is, so it seemed as if under Apache Hardware was probably the most fitting, I have spent a lot of time recently looking for decent UHF\VHF radio's and even on here researching transverters for interaction with my 8000DLE, I have searched these forum...

Re: Not sure how to use Open Collector Jack and Thetis settings...

You could use something like this: https://www.amazon.com/BUELEC-Connector-Breakout-Terminal-2pcsDB9/dp/B08SKYMX4W/ Thanks for the link... Funny thing is I ordered this one (a little higher quality metal can) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09W28BR6K?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details and rece...

Re: Not sure how to use Open Collector Jack and Thetis settings...

Thanks for the suggestions all... After reading Paul's reply above the LED idea also popped into my head. I typed up a fairly long reply that I thought I posted but seems to be lost at this point while all these other replies were being posted by all of the rest of you... I may have a 12V LED laying...

Re: Not sure how to use Open Collector Jack and Thetis settings...

BTW I did the same testing with PowerSDR OpenHP and get the same non-existent results....

I might just need a fresh education on Open Collector use... It appears I am likely missing something.

Re: Dual transverters possible?

I am trying to figure this out myself. Im in the market for a transverter(s) just not sure what to do\buy.... do I need one or can I use 2? If I understand correctly the 7000 and 8000 (I have an 8000) both have two ADC's configured. One ADC1\RX1 I believe is connected to the ant1/2/3 jacks and the o...

Re: Satellites - Duplex with 2 different transverters

I am still trying to figure all this transverter stuff out as well. Trying to figure out if I need a Q5 Multi-band transverter or two individual single band Q5 2 meter and 70cm transverters. I am looking to have the same flexibility only using the 8000DLE. I am not intending to work the birds right ...

New to Transverters & considering transverter(s) for the 8000DLE

So I am considering adding 2M & 70CM to the 8000DLE using one or two transverters but I have no experience doing so on the 8000DLE, I have looked through the documentation for the 8000 I have and have not found any transverter hookup\config guides for the 8000 either. First let me put my goals o...

Re: Transverter range

Nick you are most welcome. I used a "Ukraine" transvertor. This had buttons to switch to switch from 2M to 70CM and to change the Lo frequency up by 2 MHz to help band coverage. All worked very well ......as advertised with exellent noise and sensitivity. As above you don't need to use th...

Re: Transverter range

Ok I've answered my own question. I set up transverters in the setup table for 2M and 70CM. I then did some injection of 28 to 40 MHz into the transverter input and checked what happened when on the transverter bands. Basically as you go through the band the providing you have setup the top limit f...

Re: Hercules MP3 E2 not working on PSDR 3.4.7

I picked up The Hercules MP3 E2 at a hamfest last weekend for $40 This thing works great with PowerSDR 3.4.9 although I did have some issues getting the drivers installed in Windows 10 Enterprise. I ended up using the disc that came with the controller and although Windows 10 does not identify my co...

Re: Anyone figure out how to modify or add band and frequency tags?

Thanks Scott. I figured out that the software reads in the database when you open PowerSDR and writes it back out when you close PowerSDR which makes perfect sense. Run with it in memory and write it on exit in case anything has changed during the session. I have even taken to modifying the file whi...

Re: Anyone figure out how to modify or add band and frequency tags?

Thanks for the replies guys! Direct edit of the database.xml file does seem to recognize my band tag edits\modifications just fine where importing a modified backup file does not. Guess I will take NC3Z's advice and make a text file of my edits and keep it around. Do you find yourself copying your e...

Anyone figure out how to modify or add band and frequency tags?

So as I have been playing with PowerSDR OpenHPSDR mRX PS v3.4.9 I have decided that I would like to add some frequency range tagging to identify some frequency tags or specific frequencies of my liking or that fit my local site. The software already does a great job of tagging most of the spectrum.....
