Bruce:
Why would a Technician licensced Ham have so many HF Transcievers? Seems unusual.

200D normally draws noticeably more current on 6M .at 100w cw or FM.Sounds like yours may be in trouble. Are you testing with a dummy load? Some loads are poorer matc at 6M than lower bands as well.

Any chance of:

1 Squelch is on. Turn it off if so.

2 Receive AGC not on fast enough setting to recover quickly on ptt release ? Both AGC type Fast, slow, normal and agc level set by slider and shown as a horizontal line on the spectrum display. If set to auto agc try setting to normal or fast as a ...

I use the RF2KS also. Also 450 ohm line on similiar antennas here. The power meter in it factory calibrated works fine. Bypassed or not. Just do not drive it with too much exicter power.

Sounds like you are on the correct track. Simplest is to use a reasonably accurate watt meter on you Anan transmitter out into a dummy load rared mire than 109 watts. May need ti keep transmisions short to not overheat the dummy load and transmitter power will change a few watts as it heats up. DO ...

1. Did you power calibrate all bands when you got the radio or recently.. Do again if you reset your database
2 Check all DC 12 volt power connections including fuse and fuseholder. They must be tight and clean.
3 Measure voltage in power supply wire during transmit at power supply end and at radio ...

Last I knew that Android app will not work with Thetis. I used to use it.

Doug had to replace my whole filter board due to serious burning of board where the
10/12 band capacitor flamed. Unit was under warranty and unlike now the part was available. No further issues with that 200D or my 8000dle

Maybe a bad bandpass filter .

Unless you are hearing audio pops clicks or dropouts on receive and similiar on tx sequence error not a worry. At higher sampling rates you may discover rx audio gets nasty if you are underpowered. Newer version processors whether win 10 or 11 may have more cores than your older win 7 machine that ...

He fixed my 200D same problem under warranty long time ago. Cap fried for band filter. Scorched board.
Maybe more Anan server madness or he is away .

Good luck

I found the same results with lower strength signals as Stefano and tried same settings to improve. I use AM a lot and New NR2 seemed to have more difficulty keeping audio levels up . Possibly samples used for developement were mostly ssb and other narrower modes than AM so understandable but it did ...

One more pic of coupler and splitter.

Looks like lost first post. ...redo

I settled on using the Xtronic coupler feeding a mini circuits 2 way bnc splitter to feed 200D and 8000. Added appropriate attenuation to each radio added to 3db loss in splitter.
Used relay for quick use of internal 8000 ps feedback but not needing it much ...

Almost finished a reply and think It was sent before finished. Different attenuation in each leg for 200D and 8000. Will see if post shows or resend.

Try reset to default for ADC.

It would probably be better to switch it to a 50 ohm load when not in use.


That would add complexity to switches. Found terminating relays/switches costing as much as a new Anan.
I have a well shielded t/r relay 12v N connectors with spec of 80 db isolation between ports and non shorting. I see ...

Preparing to use external PS signal from an RF2KS amp to either my 200D rev 24 and 8000Dle.
Also have Xtronic XDC-1 44 db attenuation measured 42 to 44 dbm. Also measured "-55db" sma out from Amp at 1500 W into dummy load using 2 different service monitors. My fuzzy math says should get about +7dbm ...

Hooray:

Rf on rx port fried my magnetic loop amp years ago. Verified it with Doug at the time. Updated firmware and new Version Thetis dev2 . Can no longer see any rf on rx only port. Updated my 200D and 8000dle. No new issues found so far. Pure signal and diversity good.

Great work on the ...

Had RFTKS amp a few months. Set up TCI early on and all fine. Think 50001 port is working for me. 200D Thetis Prtocol,Win 10 Dell I5 and old HP Win 7 laptop also worked.

So it's 1/4"TRS not XLR?

The manual says 6.3mm jack??

Now I'm lost....

1/4 " is 6.3 mm

My first thought was AGC level setting wrong somewhere but seems like bad T/R relay contact in receive side. How is receive on RX 2? Not antenna 2 ? A different path to RX2 antenna connector.

Try wider receive bandwidth filter. For US should be at least 5Khz for wide deviation .It may default to 2.5 khz wide .

Hi All,

Return to processor load.

I installed both version of Thetis on my new laptop (i5 2.5 GHz 8Gb Ram 250 Gb SSD) linked to the
home network via WIFI @ 5 GHz. Using VAC 1 & 2 to route the audio to the computer sound interface.

Still a big difference between 32 & 64 bit : (settings being ...

Rob:
I had this experience first year I had my 200D. Was OK then low to very low power 10/12 meters at least. Doug had to replace entire filter board as an inductor cooked a nasty scorch in it.

Use an 8000 also no power issues.

Hope you sort this out Richie.

Look for the Bootloader switch on the bottom or back of case. No jumper except on 100d and older ones. My 200D has switch on the bottom and 8000dle and 7000 on the back. Yours should be below the 10mhz reference SMA connector.

I am probably having the same issues. Anan 200D using USB mic. on Vac. Reported on LSB. Does appear to be grabbing a bit of RX audio on initial keyup. Thetis 28.11. I suspect that changing some keyup delays may help. Have not tried to modify any lately.

Greetings:

Have had this issue off and on since last year. Same issue all bands. Testing with dummy load when calibration maximum power out to 100w on all bands. Months ago I replaced the original fuse holder with a beefier one using a larger blade fuse type. I have kept screen shots of my PA Cal ...
