Never do that, it sucks the "punch" away from the signal. Also, I prefer getting that effect by using tape delay if I can help it

Hi Scott,

I am using a Large-Diaphragm-Condenser mic and a pretty good outboard audio interface which is actually a Digital Mixer so, perhaps, I should give cmASIO a whirl.

Psychoacoustics is a pretty convoluted matter and I have come to fall prey to "traps" that can partially be attributed to ...

I was on the air the other day and talked with someone and we fell to discussing verisons of Thetis that have the cmASIO feature implemented. The fellow told me that the audio that he is hearing (not sure if this would hold for transmitted audio as well) appears "cleaner" than it is when using a ...

Paul,

As always, you provide gems of information.

I was always under the impression that as provided by AI:
"Sending Speed (WPM): A faster sending speed increases the rate at which dots and dashes are sent, increasing the bandwidth and the spacing of the signal's sidebands" (as per AI Overview ...

Hi Richie and Laurence!

Tried CWX form and don't see much difference. See embedded images below. About 40 W out and 1300W.

NOTE: The scale used to display the X axis is 4x!

Amplifier is a German RF2K-S full-legal limit and it is keyed with a PTT line between the ANAN and the amp. The RX/TX ...

Hi Richie,

Thanks for the suggestion. I have never used that form, but I guess I can figure it out. Will report back.

Hi Chris,

RX1 sample size is already 192k. Reduced it by a notch. No appreciable difference. Will also see if changing MOX setting makes a difference. Tried and no joy.

Hi Chris!

Vertical scale:
Max -20
Min -100

Will try to play with MOX.

The only reason for me using a very old version is that on SSB, any version that features cmASIO (I don't need to use Voicemeeterpotato as I don't need/want to) is that when I have Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) in the audio ...

Nobody has any comments or advice? Perhaps, most bought this product for the amazing Audio quality ? To me, I need quality on CW too

Other images

For the first time ever, someone told me that I generated awful key-clicks on CW. Also, I was told that it seemed like there were more than 1 CW signal at the same time. The station I worked told me afterwards that I was "clean" on his end. I have embedded some images below.

Even barefoot, with amp ...

Very interesting and important points being made here. I, for one, had no idea that the wisdom file was PC specific! Well, I have no idea of a lot of things that make Thetis such a uniquely positioned platform in the world of ham-radio !

Juha

Mark,

Good to hear from you, but I am confused. Install Thetis that generates that file BUT I need to delete it...... Why would Thetis generate it IF that degrades the performance of Thetis?

JJ

The Digital Mixer enables use of more than one ASIO instance which is one of the reasons that I bought one. So, I have no need whatsoever for Voicemeeter or VB anything and just love the way things sit.

Thanks!
Juha

Scott,

I sure value your comments. :)

My 2 main audio chains are as follows:

1. Thetis->
External Analog Mic-pre/EQ ->
Digital Mixer/Audio Interface (Soundcraft which comes with native VST plug-ins, too) ->
Live Professor 2 (DAW)

2. This is the same as above except, I have taken the DAW out and ...

James,
I appreciate your feedback!

I exchanged messages with Bryan - W4WMT - several months ago, asking him about use of cmASIO and Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) when processing audio. He is, I would imagine, part of the group having written some of the code, I don't know. Bryan, I hope you don't mind me bringing up your name ...

Scott,

Wonderful that you keep things moving and updated!

SOLD (pending receipt of full payment)!

Love the 7000 DLE MKII so much that I acquired another one so I have now two of them. Decided to sell the latest acquisition (1st owner bought it new in July/August 2022) as I want to buy another "toy." Cosmetically, it is 9.5/10 and I will provide more detail along with more pictures to serious ...

Scott,

I did, but I am still confused and can't figure out which FPGA the radio has in it. From what I read, the physical radio must have "MKIII" printed on it for the Orion board to have the Cyclone V FPGA on it! However, from earlier exchanges with Doug several months ago, he opined that the ...

Scott,

I am confused with regard to which ANAN 7000 DLE radios come with the Cyclone V FPGA installed? ALL radios after
July 1st, 2022?

Would sure appreciate more CLARITY on this and, apologies, if the answer to my question has already been answered!

Juha

I appreciate the response Roger!

Juha

Hi Roger,

Thank you for your post. I would be very interested in learning about your findings.

I am not familiar with the G2 at all so I have no idea of how many firmware versions are currently available and if bouncing between them makes any difference! Out of curiosity, it would be awesome if ...

Rick,

I value your time.

Incidentally, I noticed - upon additional testing - that on 10 and 17 (from memory) I do see the 2 "spurs" when the amp is not in line when I transmit a carrier, using "TUN". None to be seen when I was on 40, 20 or 15. But, again, the experiment with SDRPlay in line did ...

Hi Rick,

Very curious and intrigued by your response.

NOTE:
I do not see any of those "spurs" when I run bare-foot! As soon as I put the amp in line, I do see them. The spurs aren't there when I put my other 7000 in line. Perhaps, I give this version a shot, just the same ;) ! My problem is that I ...

UPDATE:
Note that the "spurs" I have been alluding to appear around 15kHz above and below my actual TX frequency (regardless of whether I am on SSB or CW). They don't appear when operating barefoot, only when the amp is in line.

Warren emailed me in March a couple of times (see relevant partials ...

Just wondered if Apache-Labs currently ships from Australia? Not that it helps all that much in terms of tariffs. My other ANAN radio (bought it second-hand) is Made in Australia although, I guess that may have been the result of Covid and disruptions to supply chains.....I don't know. I assume that ...

Scott,

Your consistent feedback is very much appreciated. Will look at the math in detail.

When I am talking S-9/+40dB, I am referring mostly to local contacts on 40m where I am extremely strong, on receivers with calibrated S meters. On 20, I also do get very strong signal reports, +30dB every ...

I was pulling my hair out over an odd problem that had to do with flashing the correct firmware onto my ANAN 7k. When I received my box (my 2nd 7k), it merely showed FW v2.2.2 which is designed to work with the MKII model if I understand correctly. The FW it actually had on it was either v2.2.2A or ...
