THETIS Crashed during an FT8 Contact and no longer functions with WSJT-X
Postby Dick » Thu Jun 16, 2022 3:21 pm

Greetings All

After several Issues (blank Panafall screen after upgrading to THETIS v2.9.0.6 x64) were solved with great mentoring, I was successfully running THETIS with WSJT-X (v2.5.4 ...

With that information we cannot tell what firmware is actually loaded into the ANAN-200D, but it appears to be Protocol 2 firmware.

Were you the one who loaded the firmware? Do you have the firmware file you used to load the 200D? If so, what is the name of it?

Please use this link, Method 2, to ...

Dick, this sounds to me like it could be RF getting into your Ethernet cable. What happens if you set the Level control in Thetis to zero to cause zero power output and then click "tune" on WSJT? Does it still fail? If not, start advancing the level control and see if there is a point that it fails ...

OK, so it's just copper Ethernet wiring between the PC and the ANAN. Nice and simple. All I can offer is to continue to run and gain more experience with your current configuration and see if problems persist.

Note that is could be a bad cable. This has happened before. Move just one piece of ...

Dick--I've explained to you that it's one problem per topic and you are now combining at least 4 problems into one topic :?

1. Blank spectral display: fixed with Windows update.

2. OC control of amp: not tested by you yet, may not be a problem.

3. Thetis quit working unexpectedly.

4. Some sort ...

You can try the suggestions at this link:

However at this point it might be worth considering a clean install of Windows 10 on a new license.
Good morning Scott

I am exceedingly pleased to report after failures ...

Glad to read it sorted itself out. Windows 7 is a dead OS. No longer supported. It'll be a bit of work, but ultimately you probably want to migrate to Windows 10.

Greetings All

After experimenting with the "OC - Pins" on the relevant THETIS screen, I was able to use whichever pin I chose to ...

OK, where you instruct ===>

It looks like you've hit the nail right on the head there, Dick![/quote]

The first thing you want to do is make certain that your Windows 7 installation is up to date. Open the Windows Update control panel and check for updates. The PC will have to be connected to the ...

I hope this attachment works !

In Setup > H/W Select, what happens when you click the "Firewall Check" button?

When I 'clicked' on Firewall Check the result was shut down THETIS and run as Administrator.
I 'clicked' on the power switch and then the red X at the top right corner of the frame. It required me to do extra push-ups ...

Good morning Scott

- Is the panafall blank all the time, only during TX, or only during RX?
The Panafall display remains totally dark during RX and TX

- Does the panafall work when you are using phone or CW modes (not WSJT-X)?
I selected every available mode (CW/AM/etc) and the Panafall ...

Greeting everyone
I downloaded and installed the most recent THETIS SW v2.9.0.6 x64 (4/23/22).

Now, with the new THETIS SW running, I see the expected activity of WSJT-X FT8
decoding BUT the Panafall display in the THETIS main window is totally BLANK !

What's happening with the display ? I make ...

Hello Scott

1 - OK, I downloaded and installed the most recent THETIS SW you specified.
2 - I accessed the 'page' you specified and chose "Pin #7" BUT have not verified
one of the pins on the DB-25 connector responds - have to move the computer
out to the remote site to verify
3 - I was ...

Hello everyone

Now that I am using THETIS v2.8.11 software to control a 200D I am no longer able to
use the rear panel connection to control an external amplifier.

The THETIS User Manual says to use a USB-to-Serial port converter to control external
things like a CW-key and controlling an external ...

Greetings all

For whatever reason unknown to me, the squeal has suddenly quit.

Thank you for reading this series.

Hello

Yes, I power-cycled the 7000dle and reset the database and nothing changed.

The way it is 'singing' to my ear, it is quite undesireable - very penetrating tone.
I need to change the WSPR tone frequency and see if the squeal changes note too.

Maybe some sort of transformer lamination ...

Recently while typing in a frequency an error was made and HPSDR mRX PS software set the frequency
to ~62.xxx MHz. A BIG resounding bunch of relays clicked inside the 7000 and ever since that event there is
a fairly loud high-pitched tone coming from inside the case during digital (FT8/WSPR ...

Tony -- Tony EI7BMB -- Many thanks for the detailed picture of Voicemeeter's signal routing.

VM and my computer have been playing well for me for quite a while now BUT sometimes I
have to resort to my detailed notes for all the settings in the WSPR/VM/Soundcard
configuration when everything quits ...

I have Voicemeeter setup as it was working fine connecting audio between computer and HPSDR - ran smoothly
for months.

In the past I tried with the help of many to get HPSDR mRX PS v3.4.9 to work and always suffered 'can not get there from here' messages. Next tried v3.4.8 with same results and ...

Arrrgh ! I got my SW ID's mixed-up!

That should have been HPSDR mRX PS v3.4.7 and WSJT-X v2.1.0 (with FT4) and back to WSJT-X v2.0.1 (W/O FT4)

Well, the continuing saga of system problems with my ANAN-200D continues!

Everything was running to my total satisfaction for quite while with my ANAN-200Da using OpenHPSDR mRX PS v3.4.7 and WSJT-x v2.0.1 on a DELL laptop running Win-7 (using Voicemeeter Banana for cordless operation.)

THEN, I ...

Greetings All - Many thanks for the suggestions. I now have things set up correctly and the 7000dle/SW is working well together.

Why not follow the instructions in the tutorial instead of guessing? Your setup is completely wrong.

Excellent suggestion ! That is something I have to do AGAIN tomorrow. I have been referring to the notes I maintain and they
have not extracted me from the 'ditch' I got myself into this afternoon ...

Hi Dick, perhaps try clicking on MUTE on the external mic slider in voicemeeter banana ,perhaps there is a feedback loop that with latency sounds like reverb. Having said that that the input is not selected anyway but worth a shot. I notice also 0.01 - bass on voicemeeter banana , reset that to 0 ...

Dick,

We need a whole bunch of screen shots to know what is going on. There should be no reverb sounds or anything else weird. You almost certainly have a problem with your setup somewhere.

Please post screen shots as follows:

1. Panafall with DUP on showing your transmitted FT8 waveform. Show ...

As Scott would say "google is your friend" ... here is what a quick search brought up ("set affinity using WIndows 7"):

2 Find the program on which you want to set affinity. ...
