Re: Thetis v2.9.0.8 - meters and then some more

@ramdor During the last few months, I have not been able to dedicate much time to my favorite distraction – the Anan and Thetis. Today I had a little dive to see what’s been happening on the forums. - WOW !!! :o Richie, you have done an amazing job with all the code for the meters! Putting on my “de...

Re: Mic audio birdies/spurs 100D/7000/P1 vs. P2 firmware

That's very interesting. It looks like nearly identical behavior to the problem that Bret reports above. I wonder if the behavior tracks with his observations: Yes, It would appear to exhibit identical behaviour. - Mic boost makes it worse? To some extent - it "elevates" the "floor&q...

Re: Competition for Pure Signal ?

Just want to share some information on possible availability date for the IC-PW2. I have received some “unofficial” feedback from an Icom Sales employee that the official pricing for the IC-PW2 will be announced sometime in December 2022. Once the price is announced – he said - the Icom Dealers will...

Re: Thetis 2.9.0.7 x86 (4/23/22) MW0LGE pre-release (meters testing)

With regard to the higher CPU% with the 2.9.0.7 meter test pre-release – I have compiled the “release” version of 2.9.0.6 – last know good from Richie’s GitHub - and I get similar CPU% to the 2.9.0.7 meter test pre-release. This makes me think that the official 2.9.0.6 version which is available as ...

if/when, they add predistortion, in the 7610 firmware, that they would allow it to work with or without the new amplifier Props to ICOM if they decided to do this - but I can almost guarantee - this will never happen - why? Because Icom is a very marketing ($$) driven company. The 7610 had been aro...
