Re: Thetis 2.0.3.6 dev_2 issues

I am also having an issue where when the radio has been operating for some time, then I close Thetis and come back and operate later....I seem to have very low RX signal level even if I change bands. I must physically power off the radio to recover normal signal levels.

Re: 700DLE/Thetis ext 10 Mhz sorce( AND) correction factor?

I think I have this very same issue on the EP4CE 7000...not sure if we can take a look at that too. Usually it starts up on one frequency, then after transmitting it'll suddenly have a different frequency reference some 200 Hz off.

NO, This does not fix the issue. This records the I/Q quadrature output, NOT THE TRANSMITTED AUDIO. This is insufficient and incorrect as a representation of the TX AUDIO.

There's a checkbox in the VAC config page, "Bypass VAC for recording playback". Make sure it's checked.

On the OC output for the pin I select, say 7, If I select TUNE on the drop down, on transmit using the TUN button in Thetis , pin 7 will go to ground and sink the voltage that was on pin 7 at the amp side to close to zero volts?

Switching vs Linear supply, noise on carrier

I realize this is totally down in the noise, but what causes this?

On a high quality switching supply, I've noticed a little bit of noise on my carrier.

Re: Suggestions to improve PS operation on 7k DLE Mk2.5?

Thanks Rob, and Scott, for the info.
I measured the total draw in RX at 1.07 A, and when keyed with silence 3.4 A. I think that's pretty much in the ballpark, assuming 1A per device.

Do we know what the stock bias is meant to be on the recent 7000?
