Re: RX2 not receiving

If you mean the signal connected to ADC 2, I've had a similar issue. Seems the previous owner had input a high level signal into RX2 (ADC 2). It fried the filter labeled RLP-40 and the back to back diodes labeled D22 (part number GBLCo3C) . I was still receiving but signals were at least 6dB down ...

Re: lost radio sync

Thanks for posting. Perhaps setting ip address to static (vs reuse previous address which is how I had it set in Thetis) will eliminate the somewhat random loss of synch issue I had been having. this with a W10 computer directly connected to the 7000dle with a dedicated 2 port 1G ethernet card ...

Re: synchronize two thetis receivers

Thanks for listing the link but link has a typo. Should be: https://www.lw-sdc.com/

Also, get an error when trying to download the manual (error says not found or something like that).

Looks like an interesting collection of capabilities.

Re: >>> Thetis v2.10.3.6 - Release Candidate 3 <<<

Attenuation during transmit setting seems to randomly reset itself to zero. I noticed this during split operation on 20 ssb. I believe having the attenuation at max during transmission helps protect the 2nd receiver so would be great to set it and have the setting stick

Problem resolved. I have a speaker attached and its normally off when I operate cw. I turned it on then back off and the cw side tone issue was resolved. NO idea what interaction happened.

RE: cw sidetone

Yesterday I installed rc3. All seems fine except, the cw sidetone, which I used to control with the master AF control, is much, much too quiet even with the control maxed out at 100. Anyone else having this issue and, if so, what was fix?

I do use an external winkeyer.

Re: Saturn: A New Apache Labs SDR Transceiver (ANAN-G2)

In reading this and other posts I'n not sure the question of whether there are still relays in the T/R path has been answered. Since I've not seen any announcement that the G2 has made the switch to pin diodes I'm assuming, until someone corrects me, that the G2 still uses relays AND that the pure ...

Re: Old CW keying topic revisited

I'm that "other" fellow.

In the manual, which admittedly is quite a bit out of date, it said set CW delays (both key up and key down) to at least 30ms otherwise will get unusual results. Indeed I found, with other versions of Thetis, this to be the case. That and the long delay needed for all the ...

Re: 20db boost v2.10.3.3

Unusual behavior with diversity. Running thetis 2.10.3.3 on W10 64 bit and a 7000dle. Turn diversity on then off and rx1 goes full screen noise. Tried cycling Thetis off then on and it hung up. Had to go to task manager to shut it down.

Mark when I received my (used) 7000dle I suspected rx2 wasn't hearing as well as RX1. I was right. I found the filter immediately in line with the input was very lossy.

Re: Diversity Operations - RX2 protection while transmitting

Good advise. I checked and indeed, when transmitting rx2 is shorted to ground. With, of course, the "ground bpf" box checked in Thetis The signal I see on thetis must be internal leakage or something like that. Not a signal present on rx2.

Re "ground bpf2 on xmit

I have that checked but, when I transmit I still see a very strong signal on RX2 tuned, o course, to same as transmit frequency. I have always wondered if the rx2 band pass filter was actually grounded.

From reading the other string, seems no changes have been made. That is a REAL shame since, to me, the use of relays is a downside for the radio. Perhaps I'm doing something wrong but I found that, when using the internal keyer, a VERY long delay (hundreds of ms) was needed to ...

Relays in transmit path ?

Are relays still used for T/R switching or does the G2 use pin diodes? If relays, any differences from the 7000 series? Specifically, is the pure signal relay still in parallel with the T/R relay so its always used even if the mode isn't SSB?

Thanks

Failed to answer the first question you had. Yes, it works fine with the other laptop which is also running W10.
