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 an...

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 broke...

Re: GPSDO Tutorial?
I agree with you Scott....it shouldn't be happening. I have changed the the trigger source around to check on other possiblities, but when you end up triggering from the oscillator and the two GPSDO's are moving in different directions at slow but similar speeds it can't be the oscillator causing th...

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 som...

Use Midi for Thetis and Voicemeeter
I have and use a Hercules DJ controller with Thetis on my 7000 mkII. I also use Voicemeeter Banana and am using CMASIO to connect the two. When upgrading Banana to the latest version 2.1.1.1 I noticed that Banana will accept midi inputs. I have tried to set midi commands using by the Hercules contro...

Picture of 7000 board showing jumpers 22 and 24
Hi I'm busy contemplating opening up my 7000 mkII to add the jumpers 22 and 24 to ground and put 50 ohms into the 10 meg external reference circuit. Two things.....has anyone got a photo of the board area in question that they can share, and what size/spacing are the jumpers ?

UMC 202 HD interface issues
I have just purchased a new behringer UMC 202HD and have been trying to get it work with my 7000 mkII. The issues are audio from the 202 input arrives in CM or Voicemeeter like there is a high wind in the back ground. The audio from Thetis via CM or via Voicemeeter (banana) is chopped up with dropou...

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.
I'm going to open an other discussion about what I think is my problem.

If not would it be possibl...

Re: Thetis v2.9.0.8 - meters and then some more
Really loving the new meters !
One thing occurred to me is that using an amp and pure signal.....is there anyway of using the pure signal feedback signal to drive a meter and scaling it so that I can look at the actual station output signal ?
