Re: 14 Bit Card and 10 watt amp board Connections

I believe those are UMC connectors. A Hermes bill-of-materials (BOM) can be found here: https://community.apache-labs.com/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=2335 Thank you Scott for pointing me to the BOM file. I could not find a cable assembly on the list, but I did find the UMC Emerson / Digitkey pcb conne...

Re: 14 Bit Card and 10 watt amp board Connections

Does anyone know what type of connector that is needed to connect to the 10E board for the RF out and the RF in on the Amplifier board? I am thinking it might be the MHF4? I really don't know. Please see pic. Is any of these the correct ones? Anyone have an idea where to buy. I was told do not buy f...

Re: Voltage On PTT Out After Power Blink

Hello Paul, Thank you for pointing this out. I used one for years. I am sure it was a bipolar transistor of sorts, but what type I forget right now. Something with the numbers 42 printed on it. It was a circuit someone else had come up with and it worked just fine. It was originally met for Icoms su...

Re: Voltage On PTT Out After Power Blink

I'd start by taking a look at the 2n7002 FET used in the PTT circuit Perry. I believe it's in close proximity to J11 but that's reaching pretty far back in a dim area of my brain! Then look around it for other damage. I sent you an email with an attachment that might be helpful if you do a search i...

Re: 14 Bit Card and 10 watt amp board Connections

Thanks Scott,

Yea, everything seems to correlate back to the schematic from what I have been looking at.

I haven't taken a pic of the transceiver board as of yet and at the moment I have placed it back into its
cover and placed it back into the box. Later I will edit and add it as well.

Re: AM Carrier Adjustments (Transmit Tab)

Hi Ken, Thetis does a remarkable job with the AM mode and is capable of producing a broadcast quality signal using the CFC processing if that is what is desired. My simplest understanding of what's going on is that Thetis produces a double-sideband signal and adds the carrier in at the end. So, unl...

AM Carrier Adjustments (Transmit Tab)

Hello, How does the AM Carrier adjustment under the Transmit Tab actually work in the Anan Software? Typically as I understand it, if you have a 100 watt transceiver that transmits 100 watts on SSB, the output power for AM needs to be set for 25 watts. (AM modulation = 4x the carrier at 100% ) (4x 2...

I couldn't have done it without your help, that's for sure. If it's okay, I have another question.

It does this in OpenHPSDR and Thetis but the SWR on the External Meter will be no higher t...
