Re: Anan G2 no front Distorted audio only 15 meter band

- did you perform the power adjustment on 15m correctly (Drive 100 = abb. 100 Watts)?

Re: G2 Transmit issues

This experience occurred with my (early release?) G2 with display that I received in August last year. I still have the front reverse-wired mic input for which Doug mentioned they had no practical way of fixing. Apparently that socket is a surface mounted jack on the display PC board.

Re: Experimental upgrade Raspberry CM4 to a Radxa CM5

Christoph wrote me, that both audio signals shall be available at an external audio device (RX0 and RX1). A bigger audio buffer should be needed for routing to headphones and speakers which might increase latency.

Hi Norbert,

I am using built 2024-01-26. I can run 2 receivers at 192000 without problems. Second RX is assigned to VFO B. you can change to RX2 (activate) by clicking on the spectrum. The S-meter and headphone audio are always related to the active RX. Split is working as well.

G2 with Display piHPSDR encoder issues

Hi all,

my G2 is running well with the latest updates installed, except of the fact that all 4 (8) dual rotary encoders do not react on every second step. If you are rotating the knobs slowly this is very annoying. Does anyone have the same problem?
