Re: Distorted audio on 15 M and then on 17M finaly FIXED

The problem is not with the 10MHz port, it is when a 50 Ohm connector is plugged into the XVRT port.

Yes, the signal does drop when the terminator is plugged into the xvtr port. on a 7000dle mkIII. And when removed the signal does goes up for me so far 15m 3dbm either way. On my radio the 10mhz ...

Re: Distorted audio on 15 M and then on 17M finaly FIXED

I have a 50ohm terminator on my 10mhz. because the open port would pickup my station signal and I would sound like Darth Vader during high power according to my friend. But I'm going to check the signal drop. I reported that here on the forum. Took me almost 4 months to find the problem. But at ...

Re: Required Calibrations - am I overlooking anything?

Scott,

In the run-up to conducting the actual level calibration, when you write " temporarily increase FFT bin width to maximum ", are you talking about
the "Slider" that governs the FFT "size"? If I max out on the slider the BIN width (Hz) is reduced.....Oh, I believe I addressed my own concern ...

Re: Replacing switch on bottom of 7000dle

It is moderately difficult to disassemble a 7000, depending on the case style you have.

Here's a video that, while not specifically a disassembly video, should provide some guidance on how to go about it.

After that it's just a small matter of de-soldering the old switch and soldering on a new ...

I cannot duplicate your results.

Is the DEXP and everything else 100% identical across the board except for the state of VOX?

When using MOX vs PTT I get a different transmit eq during transmit It sounds thinner or not processed/adjusted. I discovered this while adjusting the dexp.

It is a useful request and allowing NR2 on TX would help in noisy situations. DEXP won’t help high levels of room noise. The SunSDR TX noise reduction works well. If you have the Blue USB microphone with their tools it will also work well.

Noise reduction on transmit audio. I know it must be complex to write something like that into thetis. But I heard my buddies noise reduction in his sun sdr radio via software and it was good. It blanked out all the noise in the background. Pretty cool, similar to sonars noise reduction.
