Re: piHPSDR - DL1YCF running on a PC

I have piHPSDR on two Mint 21.2 PC's and both sound good.

The only difference that I have noticed is lower power output with the same mice gain compared to Thetis.

Phil, piHPSDR v2.3 on a Mint 21.2 PC with 7000 & P2 audio is good.

Re: SEQ errors 7000Mk2 all of a suden

Hi Scott, I do think that it is the cable, not the conductors but slightly sloppy plug and socket. The spare CAT8 cable is no better, don't like it as it is very stiff. Using a flat CAT 7 cable but will get a replacement. For a brief moment I was blaming the Windows update as I read on the forum jus...

Dennis, thanks for the Initial observations.

It has been disappointing that other G2 owners are not sharing their observations and pictures of the control face version.

Re: Windows 11 22H2 and Network Throttling hack

Windows update reset the throttling index here as well, the builtin setting feature took care off it. The other thing I notice is the System CPU usage display in Thetis is incorrect now, flickering between 0 to 1%. In resmon system is using 6%, also according to resmon Thetis is now using 0.3% prior...

Re: What Laptop?

Hi Scott, I just came across your question here. No I haven't set up a dedicated NIC, my desktop has been running perfectly since the throttling index mod, even before that seq errors were rare so I felt no need. The note book is purely as a temporary back up and is fine for that purpose. For intere...

Re: Lenovo PC's No Good ????

Thanks Larry,
I hear what you say about not fooling around with old OS. Reason for asking was that I happen to have an old i5-4570 PC and unused Win8 Pro so I thought I might see how it behaves with Thetis. Will not be going online.

Hi All, 1. Is there any truth to the assertion that Lenovo brand is a poor choice for ANNAN and Thetis. I have heard this statement and that Dell is a very good choice. The reason for asking is that I am considering in getting another PC for my station. Currently using a Lenovo SFF with Ryzen 7 2700...

Re: Can not see entire Thetis screen on my Notebook

More Info As the notebook is only a back up for Thetis I reset the scaling factor back to 100 and confirmed the issue came back. Today I was back in the settings and noticed that 150 (scaling) was now being recommended, I set it to that but it was no different. So again went back to 100 and this tim...

Re: Can not see entire Thetis screen on my Notebook

Thank you for all of the replies, changing the scaling factor to 105 did the trick, it is a 14" 1920 x 1080 resolution screen.

Re: SPE Expert Amp Interfacing

Hi Steve, as Scott said much easier to use USB/Serial adapter. I use my notebook as a backup like that, adapter is very cheap $7AUD.
I ended up making 3 cables and have one spare, unfortunately wrong country to send.

Re: SPE Expert Amp Interfacing

Scott, I can not downgrade the SPE firmware, need to reinstall and SPE dont make this readily available you have to request. I will give my agent a bit of time to see what he can find first.

I will look into the null modem connection and emulator apps, have not done this before.

Thanks Andrew
