Many thanks Tony but 2.9.0.29 didn't work for me, it refused to even open up in a session. Steve thinks maybe it had something to do with Win11.

Re: Thick vs Thin Client (Pros and Cons)

James, I had a Flex 6300 at one time, I never was happy with the fact that there was nothing I as an individual could to to improve the rather dismal TX latency (on the order of 100-120ms, if I recall).

Re: 1000 watt protection

It's the thermal management I am curious about, A 1000W+ is a lot of heat to dissipate! My guess is since it’s still the same heat sink as in prior versions of the 8000 its going to need a lot of Hi-Speed/CFM fans for cooling so fan noise may be an issue for heavy users? I've got my 7000 and my amp...

The current 7000 already senses high SWR and protects the PA from damage. I see no reason they'd abandon such a feature in a newer rig.

Re: ADC2 Overload! Condition?

Robert, I've never fully understood the function of those filters, nor the operation of the Bypass/55 MHz BPF.

However, I will report that the effect I'm observing on RX2 of the 6m LNA and the Bypass/55 MHz BPF are not at all what I was expecting.

Sorry I'm not of any help to you there.

The radio appears to have a 6-meter preamp (Low Noise Amp) that you can enable or disable but I've never used it so I can't attest to its functionality:

Re: ADC2 Overload! Condition?

Robert, The only reason I advised you to dial in 15-20 dB of attenuation was so we could suppress the strength of the offending nearby signal sufficiently to get rid of the ADC Overload condition. If 5 or 10 dB of attenuation will suffice to accomplish the same thing then there's no need to run more...

Re: ADC2 Overload! Condition?

Yes, now you're actually witnessing what I was referring to. If the noise floor drops when you pull the antenna then the attenuation isn't having any negative effect on any signal that's above the band noise.

See the pic attached, the two yellow arrows on the mid- and lower-left portion of the screenshot are pointing to the S-ATT attenuation settings.

The upper arrow is pointing to ADC1 attenuation, the lower arrow is pointing to ADC2 attenuation.

Jordi, make the following adjustments and see if that helps. 1) Increase your VAC1 Buffer Size to 256 (your current size of 64 may be too low). 2) Reduce your VAC1 Sample Rate to 48000 (your current rate of 96000 may be too high). 3) Increase your Ring Buffer latency (both In and Out) to 20 (your cu...

My feeling is that Pure Signal runs better, more stability?? My feeling!

I do believe I'm also seeing a bit of improvement in PS performance. And VAC is rock-steady, I'm not seeing any overruns/underruns anymore. :)

If no one else has reported such a problem in the months since 2.9.0.8 was released I don't think it can be summarily attributed to being a "Beta Bug".
