Hi Paul,

My ANAN is a blue-faced 200D and it has been very reliable for me in daily use for years. Scott's caution regarding the PA board inside the rig is on the mark and will make a big difference in the simplicity of your setup. Obviously, the Rev 24 board is the most desirable to have and ...

I think you sound perfectly normal James! Too many electronic toys is defined as one more than you currently have! 73, Rob W1AEX

Thank you all for taking the time to hit all the right spots. Mark, I went through and checked every device in the SOUND settings to make sure everything was set for 48k. Jordi, I hit the Network Throttle Index Tweak and corrected that setting that I had neglected. Pat, I downloaded all the latest ...

Definitely not a stupid question Mark. I did check that the UMC driver was still set for 48k and it was. As far as I know that's the only thing in the path as my mic is plugged into the UMC202HD and the audio runs from there into a USB port of the computer for cmASIO to handle in Thetis. I might ...

Just a quick note of an unexpected Thetis experience after I finally fixed my broken Windows Update on the station computer so that I could move from Windows 11 v21H2 to Windows 11 v23H2 yesterday. I suppose that there really are no unexpected experiences with windows updates as they can be quite an ...

Richie and Ernst this project looks beautiful! Thanks for all the time and work to bring this along!

Richie,

I installed version 2.10.3.6 dev_6 (wip_1) about 20 minutes ago and the phasing control came up displaying my M1 - M3 presets perfectly in the phasing control. All the presets were using gain 1.00 so just to mess with things I made new presets with a variety of gain settings for 160 to 40 ...

phasing control press m3.jpg phasing control press m1.jpg Installed 2.10.3.6 dev_5b and so far all the features I use are working fine with one exception. One display error has showed up with the Diversity interface. I find that when I start Thetis the Diversity "Phasing Control" comes back in the ...

Nicely done Richie! I did a number of Thetis startups and shutdowns until I got all my auto-start "stuff" positioned just how I wanted it. Everything comes up perfectly including my memory positioning of the Diversity phase and gain settings. Everything new to the Dev 5 release that I have messed ...

I will echo comments about the amazing performance of NR2 running in Trained mode. Works beautifully and as previously mentioned it is like listening to FM with a squelch. I would agree with Stefano's comment as I do notice that the default -0.5 setting does cover up some moderately weak signals. I ...

Hi Sam,

I had a similar issue with my 200D that began to suffer from fluctuations in power at low power levels and when the power level was increased to above 40 watts it was stable. It was very annoying as my amp required very low power levels to drive it and the output was very erratic with the ...

Chas - K2BU mentioned this platform to me on the air several weeks ago. As Scott noted it will be interesting to see how the release of the OL Master software will be handled given that elements of the open-source work created by developers of the Thetis project are present in their software. One ...

Hi Brent,

As another ANAN 200D owner I am with Mark and very curious about your SetPk value. My 200D is running protocol 2 and displays a very different default value for SetPk. I too am using an Xtronic coupler with 10dB of attenuation inserted in the return line. Just curious if pure signal is ...

Hi Maurizio,

There was some discussion of this back in April of 2022 with some speculation that it was for debugging purposes. See link below.

Thanks for the combination Thetis + firmware fix for the RF appearing on RX only ports. With P2 firmware v1.9.20B installed in my 200D and running Thetis v2.10.3.6 Dev 2 there is no longer a detectable RF pulse during CW on ports marked "Do not TX". I have been running the firmware and the Dev 2 ...

Thank you Scott!

A friend of mine is struggling to get Thetis to run on a computer running a video card from the 2009 era. It's an Nvidia Quadro FX-580 which I am not sure is compatible with Direct X 11 or 12.

With no checkbox that can be unchecked to disable Direct X dependency in Thetis, what happens when you ...

This works very nicely Richie and as others have already said it makes setting up TX audio for your profiles a breeze.

Thanks for all the bug fixes and amazing features you have brought to Thetis in 2023 and all the best to you for the new year!

Hi Bryan,

I took a shot at running cmASIO this evening and it is nothing short of spectacular! Thanks for the PDF instructions which made it a pure plug and play experience with my UMC202HD. After doing the registry edit I was up and running in about 2 minutes. Great job!

73, Rob W1AEX

I just run run an audio cable from the headphone output of the ANAN into the "line in" jack of my computer. Works great and also makes the audio from the ANAN available for direct recording into whatever program you have on your computer. No need to rely on VAC to transport audio with this method. I ...

Thanks Richie! Version 2.10.2.2 has been running all day here on several different bands without any issues. I think my coffee even tastes better with this release!

73, Rob W1AEX

Thank you Richie! Version 10.0.2 pre-release has been running smoothly all day here. 73, Rob

I've been following your journey with this in the thread Mark and very glad that Doug was able to isolate the bad PA device as the issue. That's not a common point of failure with these rigs so you got bit by a rare one! We are very lucky to have Doug as our backstop for these issues when they come ...

Hi Ruben,

I also am running a 200D and will pass along that with some Orion boards (including my own) pure signal does not work with protocol 1 versions 5.1 and 5.2 . Protocol 1 version 5.0 runs perfectly so that's what I run when I revert to protocol 1 to play with CuSDR. I also have "ATT on TX ...

Hi Hans,

In the screenshot I can see that when I shutdown Thetis yesterday at 2:04 pm there were four files that were modified. I wonder if people who are experiencing this issue are seeing the same four files modified when they shut down. Could be the shutdown of Thetis is completed before ...

Seems like Thetis for some users is not finishing its task of updating data to the the database and other files used for data storage in the users section of windows when it is closing. Could it be a permissions issue with windows? Just a long shot but is Thetis running with admin privileges?

It may be a ferrite core that some of the internal ribbon cables are run through for suppression. In my 200D they can be heard sliding around when I flip the rig over to clean the bottom fan port. de Rob W1AEX

There is a button in the setupform->General, called 'Firewall Check'. When thetis is run as admin and this button is clicked it removes all firewall rules related to Thetis.exe and re-adds them back in. I have just added the Private profile as well, which now mimics the rules that are added by ...

Hi Tem,

I have always used a Marshall MXL-770 studio condenser mic with my ANAN and have had very good results. The downside with that mic is exactly what you mentioned, all the background noise that it picks up. The downward expander in Thetis can certainly restrain the influence of background ...

If it helps, I have a PDF document with a suggested procedure for how to adjust the driver and PA bias that I wrote mostly so I wouldn't forget how I did it. The document explains the steps I used with my ANAN-100 back when it was new. After the adjustment it certainly was more linear when Pure ...
