Is there a list of the differences between the G1 & G2 and what make them different from each other.
Just trying to figure out what the advantage & disadvantages between the two radios.

So based on the current design if you plan to use at the full 100w rf output for extended time always keep an eye on the PA temp and don't mod the internal fan to go slower :) :D

Well since there is sensor output on J22 then it is possible to create a variable temp controlled cooling fan MOD if ...

Does the G2 have Thermal Overload Protection to protect the P.A from over heating?

@KC2QMA

Which G2 are you using, and are you using Thetis? If you use Thetis most of the time (which I believe you do), it isn't much of a benefit to upgrade to the Radxa CM5 module. The current RP Cm4 can easily handle the transmissions of packets between the G2 and external PC. In the future, AL ...

I sure hope Flex doesn't steel Dr. Warren Pratt's code to get pure signal working with the new 8000 Series radios.
Just saying

Now were finally getting to a "Simplified Update Procedure"

Thank You Jerry KD4YAL for your work on the install script !

When you buy a new car at the dealer, they don't also expect the customer to also be a auto mechanic

I would probably re-make my cable.

As for your pihpsdr issue, can you try typing in, and post back the output
of those commands?

cd ~/github/pihpsdr
make clean
git remote -v
git pull
make
ls -l

Sort of fixed it, I can run if open the app from the pihpsdr folder.
But No desktop icon and the ...

New Title for Post:
"G2 Updated files and NOT simple update procedures"

WARNING!!!!
Those who have your HF amplifier connected to the G2 Via DB9 Open Collector port on the back of the radio for Band Switching control make sure if you update your radio software/firmware you check that your amp is switching to correct bands or MAJOR damage to your amplifier could ...

Good thing I didn't blow up my amp!

So I need to figure out and re-map the pin assignments in Thetis Or make a new cable?
I see even the darn Ground pin is different!
Just want to make sure i understand.

Discovered NEW Issues with update....

Now the OC control output is now incorrect, For example when i am on 40m my amp now goes to 160M, Thetis shows the correct Pin State? Worked perfect before the update.

After the update Still cannot open pihpsdr app. (File not found)

What would be nice is if there were a CLEAN bootable Image file with the OS and only the necessary apps that ship with the G2 that can be downloaded then transferred to a blank microSD card.
Then if the G2 had a file corruption or the internal microSD goes bad the user and make a new card.
I guess ...

That worked!
Thank You Richard.

"if you have no display, how are you running p2app: is it set to autostart, or do you plug in a display and keyboard, or log in remotely?"
I have a keyboard, mouse & monitor connected to get into the G2.

I ran these commands:
cd ~/github/Saturn/sw_projects/P2_app
ls

And don't see the P2app without ...

I'm having the same issue as the others here with Thetis does not seeing the radio.
My radio has been down for 3 days now.
I have the early G2 no screen with the CM4 without the microSD installed.
F/W V19 installed.
When I try to perform the update it seems to complete without error but if I try to ...

If I wanted to upgrade my G2 no screen from CM4 to CM5 I have just a few basic questions.
I see this post has been going for a while now and thought I would possibly give it a try.

-What exact CM5 would be recommended *please provide Part Number for reference*?

-I have an early G2 that has the ...

Hello I just wanted to recommend an affordable USB audio interface with GREAT Spec’s if you want to use CM ASIO with Thetis.
Yes there are cheaper AND more expensive interfaces out there but this one on my opinion is a great value!
It has been tested with Thetis and works perfect!

Here is a link to ...

I am interested in getting into digital modes and would like to get a basic fldigi setup with Thetis.
Is there a setup guide anywhere for setting up fldigi with Thetis.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

This is how I have been powering off and On the G2:
Not sure is this applies to the latest versions of the G2?

Hello about to go down the cmASIO path and have a few questions.

1. How does cmASIO handle multi I/O interfaces like an 8in 8out unit or others?
I know you only need a min 1 in 2 out interface but was just curious what can be done.
2. Is all that's needed it to edit the registry?
3. Is there a list ...

So, in theory almost any hardware device that has a data contention such as a DB9 COM port or other connection such as antenna tuners, Rotor control, HF amplifiers and more can have a container that allows display and control of that device with a properly Buit container.
AWESOME!

Here is a container display for the HF-Auto that I created.
Once there is a way to save and share these container setups people can then create their own and share with others.

I think if you connect a Flex product to an ANAN it will cause a shift in the fabric of time. LOL

Is it possible to save and export each container setup as a file?

When/If this new product comes out It Will Be A Game Changer!

Thank you again!
I have Thetis TCI default setting how do I set up twigger with Thetis TCI?

You are Amazing Sir!
Thank you!

If you paid with PayPal or Creditcard you can file a claim. Just send them copies of the FedEx info and any coms with Apache-Labs's.
Good luck.!
