Re: Andromeda drive power drop in low power mode

Have tried resetting database and also trying older saved versions of Thetis but that did not help. I think it´s a hardware issue or a bad solder point. Have been running only 5-10W drive for over a year so maybe the hardware doesn't like running idling all the time :-)

Andromeda drive power drop in low power mode

Hi guys, have a problem that stared occurring a few weeks back. Have Andromeda running Thetis 10.3.6 and protocol 2 v2.2.3. Have a Expert 1.3K-FA amplifier and it only needs about 10W drive. For some reason drive power began dropping to zero in the middle of TX session. This occurs intermitted so I ...

Re: Pure Signal Does not work on Protocol 2 - 7000 MKIII

How do you think it got changed from the defaults?


P1 had a different SetPk value that I don't remember. This was several months ago. After installing P2 the old SetPk value was still precent. Clicking Default changed the SetPk to 0.2899 and PS was working fine again.

How and why I don't know.

Re: Abrupt reduction of noise floor on receive

Try connecting another receiver to the circuit or different antenna. I had a similar problem some years ago. RX would suddenly drop. A short TX brought RX back. It was a bad connector on the antenna feedline.

Re: Interfacing Thetis to N1MM?

Here is my setup for playing .wav files in N1MM. First record the .wav messages you want and put them in the N1MM Wav directory. In N1MM SSB message editor you select path to the messages.

In N1MM audio setup & monitor you select appropriate VAC feed to Thetis.

Well I don´t know the reason. I think there might be a problem when the 7000DLE MK2 and PC with i7 processor share the same DC power source.

Yes its the same on all modes. Also just by tuning. The shutdown happen on 15m were the PA was not calibrated correctly. Full drive gave 125W output. Have recalibrated PA on all bands to about 95W with 100% drive and increased voltage to 14V so hopefully that will solved the problem. I would guess t...

Nope, there is no fluctuation on voltmeter when running CW. I have never had any RFI problems before. The 0.5-0.9V fluctuation when running 100W is on all bands 160-6m. Running 10W fluctuation is less 0.2-0.4V. Running 1W 0.1-0.3V. Even in RX with 0A it 0.1-0.3V. The load in the I7 processor is only...
