Re: VK Amps KM3KM Sampler Comparison

on my home brewed sampler I used a flange mount male 259 and it screws directly to the antenna socket. The result is a secure connection and 1 less patch cable required.

Re: Sure SM7B andG2 XLR

interfacing issues aside I think the SM7B is a poor choice for AR usage with it's dominant low frequency response. A quick investigation to the numerous pod casters "posing" with SM7B's will demonstrate the resultant muddy audio response.

Re: VK Amps KM3KM Sampler Comparison

Thankfully, RF is visually blind. Some of best performing devices I've measured are aesthetic nightmares (and vice versa).

I've no idea about the KM3KM sampler but it's likely a local project from Miami. My understanding is the Lux and Mercury III amps are designed by RZ1ZR (not just the LCD ...

G2 and the future of remote operations

In the sales blurb for the G2, Apache labs claim the G2 will be remote operation capable but this feature will rely on further software development. Can anyone say if this development work is in progress and what form it is likely to take? True thin client like the Flex or simply via a VNC?

Re: midi function to control rear speaker on 7000

I have not tried them but have a look at item 15, 69 & 72 in the midi controls list. 15 is simple mute on off while 69 and 72 switch VAC1 and VAC2 on/off, might be useable as a per VFO mute albeit in an inverted manner.

Re: IMPORTANT: different firmware for 7000DLE MKIII/Andromeda/8000MKII hardware shipped after 1 January 2023

If the newest revision 7000 is factory designated as Mk3, I guess I must have the Mk 2.5, formerly unofficially the Mk3. One wonders if in the future there will be a unifying firmware to cover all the variations. Sure is developing into a minefield choosing the correct firmware.

Mundane as it might seem but the config dialogs really need cleaning up if only to help out new users. By which I mean disabling controls that are inoperable in particular modes.

Well I seem to have solved the problem. Did a scan as below

Right click on it and select Run as administrator

Type:

Let it run
