Re: Power measurement theory and practice, and S-meter operation

Thanks again, Scott.

Is it suffice to say that that the S-Meter scale along side of the Pan display or PowerSDR offered little value to the user?

Re: Power measurement theory and practice, and S-meter operation

Early versions or PowerSDR or variants thereof offered the choice of either the dB scale or and S-Unit scale on the left (...center or right) hand side of the pan display. I'd like to see that option available in Thetis. This won't work. What is shown on the panadapter is not measureable in S-units...

Re: Thetis v2.8.11 - current issues

FWIW - I recall early on having a world map in the background and the CPU usage was very high. I neutered it and CPU useage dropped substantially. I don't recall what else might have been in play at the time.

Re: Step attenuator on Thetis setup

In the openHPSDR hardware architecture, in the receive path there are two switched attenuators in series on the PA/RF board, 10 and 20dB, and a 31dB step attenuator on the actual SDR board. In Thetis (and it is similar in PowerSDR), when the ATT button is shown on the main console UI, you have acce...

Right you are, Scott. I hadn't explored programming that button too deeply. I has assumed it would need a Keyboard Equivalent. However, there is 'Center Click' which seems to be the equivalent of 'Wheel Click.'

It has been suggested that the disparity is due to the wideband rece...
