I just looked at your manual. Section 7.4 would benefit from some expansion. Note the hot links below for the URLs... . . VSPM is another free (to hams) option. However it has only the most basic capabilities and has not proven to be as stable for me as the other choices. Scott, Not sure what you m...

Update: it just happened to me again. I guess I jinxed myself by even mentioning it...darn it!

Thetis 2.8.11 Have tried P2 FW from V1.2 to V2.0b . . If I click diversity on/off/on ... over and over, sooner or later when turning it off the RX1 noise floor is elevated by 40-50 dB. I found that clicking diversity on and off repeatedly could induce the issue. It also occurs when not doing that a...

I use Diversity often to eliminate single-point noise sources, it works superbly. I was using it on 40 meters today to remove a roughly 3khz-wide 30db spike and was easily able to remove literally all evidence of the intruder from the panafall and the received audio....and there was a faint QSO hidd...

Flatlander, I tried to send this to you as a PM but for some reason this forum has never let me send a PM (whenever I try to send something it just sits forever in my Outbox and never actually gets sent). Here's a link to my latest 7000DLE MKII database: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1x58NmIDSOOQh...

With these radios there's no need to park them on the bench. I've got my black 7K located in a corner of the shack behind a 1/2" drywall partition. I can't hear the fan at all.

Just something to consider.

The problem is that the mic that you last associated with AM mode is remembered for that mode (as it also is for the LSB and USB modes), and all of the settings specific to that mic's Profile get reinstated every time you change to that mode. So Save the Transmit Profile for the mic in question afte...

Another idea, you might import a previously saved database if you have one, so you'll be back to the audio settings that you know were working at that earlier point in time.

Mark

Rodger that, thanks for clarifying.

That means your mic is working.

As a sanity check, perform the following test:

Transmit into a dummy load by speaking into the mic while the TX multimeter is set to Fwd Pwr. If the mic is working at all you should see some power reported.

Mark

Scott, I think he's referring to transmit audio, not receive audio....his statement was, "When I went to transmit no audio."

Mark

Welcome Tim!

You've come to the right place, there's lots of good help in this forum.

The system you propose should work fine, but make sure your ethernet card is gigabit capable.

Share dem skins, please!

Hi Phil, Running Thetis v2.8.11, Protocol 2, sample rate is 768K. When I was running 32 bit Thetis (prior to 2.8.11) I typically saw roughly 13-15% system load running RX1 alone. When I went to 64 bit I saw a drop in load to roughly 9-10%. When I add RX2 it goes up to maybe 12-13%. When I add HRD an...

Ah, thanks for the reply Rob. I can easily align my thinking along that logic.

Mark

Just an observation, the RX Ant button on the W2NBC Scope Dark Skin is stuck in the On position.

I use Bitdefender Antivirus free edition, it's very low overhead and doesn't seem to interfere with Thetis or any other use of the PC (I have Thetis added to Bitdefender's exclude list).

Not sure if this is the proper place to post this, but I can't seem to make the RX EQ work for RX2.

Am I doing something wrong or is that a bug?

Thanks,
Mark

My 7kdle mk2 also varies approx. +/-.2 volts but the OP is seeing a swing of over a full volt.

Not having any more information than you gave us, there are a number of variables that could be contributing. 1) Where are you connecting the other voltmeters you're referencing? Directly at the power supply? That's not where your radio is connected (it's connected at the other end of the power cord...

I use Bitdefender Antivirus Free, it's very low overhead (much lower than Windows Defender) and doesn't appear to openly interfere with any aspect of use of the PC.

Edit: I have Bitdefender set up to Exclude Thetis from the things it's watching.

as Scott mentioned here viewtopic.php?f=32&t=3571&p=12403&hilit=seq+error#p12403
there is no longer a need to report seq errors.

Scott, you've stated elsewhere that you've turned off Seq Error reporting. Where can I find such a toggle?

Thanks,
Mark

Try renaming the database.xml file to something different (in the Thetis folder) and reopen Thetis.

Still using my older Astron RS35M it's not 40 amps but it's clean, quiet and plenty stout enough to support my 7000DLE MKII.

Bryan,

Thank you sir, you nailed it! The RX2 receiver was not running. I turned it on and VAC2 is behaving correctly.

I posted this in a different thread but I suspect I should have posted it here...

VAC1 is stable on v2.8.8 but I'm getting crazy runaway Underflows on VAC2, nothing I change on buffers, sample rates or Force even slows it down.

This wasn't happening before, including in yesterday's v2.8.7, so something has changed in v2.8.8.

Thanks, Gary.

Heck, I'm still running 2.7.0 a3, I thought that was the latest!
