Thanks ever so much Rick and thank everyone on here that has tried to help me get a handle on this amazing Radio!

I flashed to the new firmware2..2A tonight and all seems to be running fine, when checked use external 10 mhz ref it instantly came up with a correction factor and WWV being observed in AM moved to dead center in the crosshairs. 10mhznewfirmware.png Question, Is the burst of RF on the RX ports solve...

Wow, I have been busy and just checked this thread, looks like good news! I haven't had much trouble out of my MKIII of late but I had given up on the 10 Mhz reference. I will certainly try these versions of firmware on my radio when time allows and see if things line up with the 10 Mhz reference. M...

Hi Joe, Thanks for the reply, the version I am running is listed in my signature and I believe its the newest out or close. My calibration section is as follows: freq cal.jpg When I check to use the external 10 Mhz Ref, It will not change if I move the correction factor up or down and it actually re...

I have been experiencing since day one my Anan 7000DLE MKIII locking in two different places when powered on, I typically just run a calibration with WWV in Thetis to resolve the issue and it stays OK most of the time but very seldomly jumps back off again the correction or offset is to around 0.999...

Hi Guys Thanks for the help and thanks to Ronnie for making the post. I have resolved the issue! Previous owner had put a static ip on the unit. Used bootloader to force it back to dhcp and all good. Many Thanks... Jim Please tell me how tp program for DHCP? I put a static IP in mine months ago and...

Good Morning Scott; Yes I believe I have the newest Cyclone V FPGA in my radio, Haven't actually opened it up yet to look but specifically asked Apache support when it got here on Good Friday so I could decide on Firmware and that is what Tony told me was onboard. I would like to employ an external ...

Sorry Guy's not been on forum for a few days... I've loaded Metis_Orion_MkIII__CV_P2_v2.1.12A.rbf into my radio. Thetis reports it in (General/H/W Select) tab as: Ver: 2.1.12 Protocol 2 (v3.9) PLL Locked I am so glad mine doesn't do it that often and really concerned to hear that some have acted muc...

Thanks Rob, I'll give it a look, and thanks to Volker , DL4ZBG for sending me an E-mail with complete instructions in pdf format!
Now it's just a matter of time until my curiosity gives me the courage to explore the insides of this radio, and maybe the warranty has expired.

Thanks Scott, I was on the thread you referenced about the firmware and am using the beta firmware with the QSK fix... Before I installed it my radio was really acting up with audio glitches and sequence errors galore.. Didn't know anyone else was seeing the freq shift so it's good to know. It can g...

I received my 7000 DLE MK 2/3 on Good Friday this year and have seen it jump frequency maybe 10 times or so since I have owned it. This happens randomly and maybe on band change? keeps catching me off guard. I can't tell if this is a software or hardware issue but a quick frequency calibration routi...

OK Scott, Went through the paper again, this time with some understanding that you can only use Vac1... Looks like I will have to go with Voicemeeter to get everything playing, Now 2 more questions: Not sure which one to go with? Banana or Potato?, and Why? And even though I see a checkbox in Thetis...

Well, It was pretty basic and for powerSDR so had no specific info on Thetis. I know they are very similar in VAC setup but it didn't really answer any of my questions... Anybody want to take a swing at them ?, please read my original post above. I'm certainly no guru on this subject but I am using ...

Will do...

Thanks Scott, 73

Ok, I've had this radio for over a month and still not sure how to look inside. After reading about chassis grounding and such I'd like to look inside of my 7000DLE MK2-3 whatever and verify the chip, check to see if the paint is cleaned off under connectors and screws etc. I'd also like to see if I...

I have a USB mic coming in to try on my 7000DLE and want to keep it simple, USB mic selected as VAC input, no voicemeeter banana, or tater. I have a few questions about setup going this way. I see the selection of (mic in) (line in) in the transmit tab but not a selection to use VAC? Do you leave on...

Hi Walter, Thanks for your informative reply, and the setup screen pictures really help.. I would like to see how you would select the antenna routing? I don't see options for the VHF+ buttons to route antennas through 1,2,3 BNC ... It seems to me that if I use a 28 Mhz if transverter I would loose ...

Ed, Could you please elaborate on how you set up your transverters and if you are able to drive 5-10 watt transverters?

Thanks, 73

I would like to ad one or more transverters to my new 7000DLE and reading all of the posts here I am more confused that ever about what I can and can't use. I have a trustworthy 2 meter- 28 Mhz combined tx/rx (IF) that takes 5 watts to drive. I also have considered purchasing a new xvrtr but it also...

Thanks Jay, I purchased a tiny SA and calibrated mine this evening.

The tiny SA will be handy to have here anyways, thanks for the tip on it.

Thank you Walter & Gary... I figured it was possible but I have been away from this stuff a good while and my memory is not as clear as it once was.
I will give it a shot.

I am curious if we can go into a file somewhere in Thetis and enter additional band labels ? I can remember doing this in powerSDR about 10 years ago. I think you went in and put a marker like greater than/ less than >< then a freq and the label you wanted like "10 meter FT8" or possibly a...

Hey Jay, Be sure and let us know if the S9 signal generator works out for you... I tried an old signal generator I had here and it failed to work. I see the S9 sig generator has some different freq available but none of which are on even Mhz. Thetis didn't let me put in anything other than the Mhz d...

Thanks for the information regarding the filters in the Anan, and the attenuator advice. Since " The bandpass filters in the preselector are only third order, therefore have limited ultimate out of band rejection, and thus are of limited usefulness against a very strong, out of band signals.&qu...

Mark, looking at the form you have open in setup, I wonder if I could tweak the lower cutoff freq on the 12/10m filter to just above 27.5 mhz? Would sacrifice the 12m reception but might mitigate the CB overload when on 10 ?

edit: wouldn't let me cutoff above 24 Mhz,

Ok, Thanks Mark, been experimenting this evening but haven't had the local on yet...will try and find a place to set it... This radio is amazing in many ways, actually retains ATTN settings per band! Hope to catch the signal on and find a happy spot for my ADC. Strange I haven't caught anyone on 10 ...

I just saw this post and with 15 db ATT on I can very slightly see the waterfall change when I pull the antenna off. -108 to -128. Does that mean there is still 20 db of wiggle room? I put in 30db of attenuation and now unhooking completely yields same -108dbm on 10 meter AM. Good grief, I'm gonna h...

Hello again Mark, I follow your comments pretty much all the way but in the back of my mind attenuation equals noise floor... Been thinking that way all of my Ham tenure. Worked weak signal UHF for years and coax loss + connector loss is always added to noise floor. Guess what's really important is ...

If I am reading the Wideband graph correctly This guy is hitting -70 Dbm peaks.
I may need to come up with a trap of some kind to protect this radio?
