Re: G2 not powering up correctly…

Many thanks, I didn’t realise it was that easy to clone the card.

Re: G2 not powering up correctly…

Update:

I have powered down removed the top cover, pulled the SD card from the board and made a coffee! Re inserted SD card, and applied 13.8v, no lights, however pressed power button and got instant green lights…and then after a few seconds a slightly ugly relay click and two red LED’s lit in the ...

G2 not powering up correctly…

Hi Guys,

Not sure what has happened this morning with my ‘no screen’ G2. Normally when turning on the 13.8v power supply feed to the G2, I hear a little click or two and there is a red glow from a power LED visible through the cooling fan inlet on top of the case. Then obviously power up using the ...

Re: Dropping power output during TX…

Thanks Robin & Scott, glad it’s not just my G2!

I wonder if I can add some additional air cooling to help, although the 120mm case fan is doing a fine job I’m sure. Either way it’s a relatively small issue, only highlighted as I’ve been using more power than usual due to the solar activity and ...

Dropping power output during TX…

Hi Guys,

I’m very happy I waited for the G2, it’s been a learning curve, despite being a seasoned SDR user, but well worth the time spent!

However I have noticed that during transmit on SSB that my output gradually drops. Driving 40w into my linear, I’ve witnessed a 10w drop, during a 2 minute ...

Re: G2 distorted audio using TRS and standard mic input

Hi Guys,

Further to the comments above I spotted N4VFR’s video on you tube “unboxing a G2” …in this video Darren removes the top cover and fits a clip on ferrite on the XLR to Preamp cable…as recommended by his friend Art. So as I’m having so much trouble getting audio without noise from the XLR ...

Re: G2 distorted audio using TRS and standard mic input

Hi Norbert,

Yes, there are many Neutrik units available. The ‘F’ versions for Female XLR and ‘’M’ for male, with a variety of sockets available at the other end of the device. I ordered the Neutrik NA2F-D0B-TX, as recommended in the wiring post I mentioned earlier. This one has a phono/RCA socket ...

Re: G2 distorted audio using TRS and standard mic input

Thanks Laurence,

As far as the audiotest app is concerned I was just checking that the occasional hang wasn’t indicative of another issue, so I’m relieved that is to be expected at this time…and for me, is really not a big issue. It works very well and as you suggested, and I hinted, I did move my ...

Re: G2 distorted audio using TRS and standard mic input

Hi Guys,

Yes, Scott is correct, RE320 dynamic mic. Cable is good and tested, plus wired as suggested in manual. I’ve also swapped out with two other XLR dynamic mics for comparison, they all respond identically.

I also noticed that the audiotest app locks up after a couple of tests, failing to ...

Re: G2 distorted audio using TRS and standard mic input

Hi Laurence,

Just to confirm all tested again, with same result on the ‘XLR’ rear input. XLR selected and functional in Thetis also. During test, PTT functions correctly, click burst is witnessed, but no audio….however a quite large signal is registered on the audiotest meter (see pic) This is not ...

Re: G2 distorted audio using TRS and standard mic input

Good Morning Laurence,

Yes, XLR was selected with no response, just a ‘click’ at the start of the test as the PTT is depressed. Then tried with the mic boost, just in case drive was too low, but still no audio. I’ll check again in a couple of hours and confirm all settings.

Thanks as again,

Re: G2 distorted audio using TRS and standard mic input

Hi guys,

Well audiotest app does not record any audio from the XLR input. My Electrovoice RE320 is plugged int the XLR input with a converting cable from XLR to balanced 1/4” plug, with wiring checked as recommended in the manual. PTT is my foot switch into the PTT socket on the back of my ‘no ...

Re: G2 distorted audio using TRS and standard mic input

Good Morning,

Please find attached a pic of what is listed…audiotest.c appears to be first on my list, with only 3 files in that location.

Thanks once again, I really appreciate the help.

Thanks Rick,

I’ve tried with both techniques which is now accepting as a command, but telling me there’s ‘no such file or directory’
Double and triple checked the script, still no go?

Then noticed in the directories there should be an underscore after sw_projects etc …the underscore is hidden as ...

Re: G2 distorted audio using TRS and standard mic input

Not sure if any solution was actually found to this issue, reading the above?…However what is clear is that Laurence suggests using the audiocheck app (more than once) and so as I’m experiencing very distorted audio, I’d like to start here.

…only problem is I can’t get the script listed in the ...
