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 one. ...

Re: 6 Meter ONLY Power output Problem
The Orion MKxxx schematics are posted in the schematics sub-forum. Unfortunately, Apache still considers the RF schematics proprietary enough that they don't want them posted in a public forum. They will, however, send them to you upon request. No doubt someone on the forum here has a copy and could...

Re: Thetis & CW Skimmer
Progress!
How does the spectral display (horizontal waterfall) look in Skimmer? Does it appear OK, clean, without any weird artifacts, spurs, etc?
Did you put the buffer settings on auto? Try increasing the VAC main buffer size?

Re: Thetis & CW Skimmer
You didn't post a screen shot of the Skimmer side setup. The VAC cables are setting themselves to 192KHz, not 48KHz, and the under and overflow counters are running wild. Check your sample rate in Skimmer and ensure it matches with Thetis. You might also leave all the buffer controls in Thetis set t...

Re: N1MM: Radio goes into TX mode when in S&P mode
Use the Thetis built-in keyer but keep the Winkeyer attached. See if it locks up with that. If it does then disconnect the Winkeyer and try the built-in keyer again. If it works ok then it seems like it might be RFI associated with the Winkeyer.

Re: N1MM: Radio goes into TX mode when in S&P mode
This is starting to sound like an RFI problem.
Is N1MM keying the radio via Thetis and a virtual serial cable? Or is it using hardware keying of some kind?

Re: Orion MKII board RF output level
The 200D has the original Orion board, not the Orion MKII. Schematics for the Orion can be found in the schematics section of this forum.
AFAIK, all boards from the Hermes to the Saturn output 500mW max. on 160-10M, and 350mW max. on 6M.

AFAIK there is no off-the-shelf product available at this time.

Or, even better, order something like this (there are a million choices) and, again, cut an...

Re: Monitor: 60Hz vs 144Hz
With the bottleneck being the FFT processing, it's unlikely you can get Thetis to run much faster than 60Hz at 384KHz or larger IF bandwidth. Thus a faster display is wasted on Thetis, but you may find it valuable for gaming.

Re: External feedback level calculations
PureSignal can use the entire range of the step attenuator, which is 0 to 31 dB in 1 dB steps.
However, remember not to exceed +13 dBm at the rear panel input to avoid the risk of damaging something.

Re: External feedback level calculations
Unfortunately I don't know what the coupling factor is for the internal coupler.
From a linearity and measurement accuracy perspective +/-1dB is pretty good for the hardware we've got.
