Re: setup refusing to open window

Thanks Scott I didn't realise that I could move the second screen under the first one and thus enable the mouse to go straight up and down between screens...thanks ! That shows how familiar I am with window 10/11.

I, like many others...I suspect... have a love / hate relationship with windows 11 ...

Re: setup refusing to open window

Hi Scott,
What I’m doing is to have my big wide screen driven only by the ‘radio’ PC and Thetis. A second smaller screen is connected to both Thetis and my ‘shack’ computer using a HDMI switch box with the default to the ‘radio’ PC. I have set it up so that my mouse can travel off the RHS of the ...

Re: setup refusing to open window

Ok, I think that I have the issue that I was having reduced down to being able to cause it and recover from it at will.

To start it I need to have thesis running on both the main screen and the shared screen with the other computer off.
Then I need to start setup and shift the setup screen to ...

Yes thanks Scott I have managed to get into the database manager. I will set-up a new “clean” data base. Along the way more evidence has emerged, I run a shared screen between the radio computer and the “shack” computer via a hdmi switch. My issues appear to be linked to which order the two are ...

setup refusing to open window

Hi to all,
I've run into an annoying issue with startup...when I try to run it from the setup pull-down it goes straight into minimised form and won't expand when I click on its minimised icon.

My setup is 7000dle mark II running V2.10.3.8 and firmware is V2.2.2 protocol 2. The computer is a HP ...

Re: cmASIO Why Not Everyone

Thanks for the comments. I have had less than stellar results using VAC. So for me cmASIO was a very welcome solution. Is there another way to get good latency without using cmASIO or a proper A to D ?

Vin you're not the only one. I am in the same "boat", I finally shelled out for a "proper" audio interface and have been using cmASIO ever since. The irony is that I don't use the UMC 202HD at all. It sits there on the shelf connected into the computor via its USB connection. I use my favourite USB ...

Re: GPSDO Tutorial?

All noted and accepted. I didn't want to use a GPS directly because having been hit (the house) by lightning twice over the years I'm rather allergic to having too many aerials connected in my shack. So having a OXCO not connected to the outside world was preferable. I could use a GPS yes but its ...

Re: GPSDO Tutorial?

Well I didn't know there was actually a law relating to my issue " Segals law" but its true enough. All I wanted to do was to set up my oscillator (out of a serious GPSDO) to an accurate 10 MHz to use on my 7000 mkII.
It turns out that its not a simple task.

Neither of my GPSDO's are broken. They ...

Re: GPSDO accuracy and what the satellites are doing

Tests that I've done imply that the 10MHz signals from the GPS satellites are changing frequency randomly by small amounts.

I've been using an "old" but very stable reference 10 MHz crystal oscillator which is in its own oven to supply the 10 MHz external reference to my 7000 mkII. For some reason ...

Re: Changing Windows 10 Network Throttling Index for Better Performance

Scott adding in the UMC drivers doesn't affect the throttling index so for me Voicemeeter was the culprit.
