Mark, I know what you are saying, but regardless of the scaling (it is a tad different, I noticed), the noise floor sinks very low, AND, the floor goes up and down so even with slightly different scaling (I will make them the same), it is obvious that something isn't right. Thanks! Juha UPDATE: Matc...

Mark, RX1 had an End-Fed-Half-Wave connected and RX2 is using an inverted V dipole at 33'. I will do the "swap" and post tomorrow. When it comes to signal strength, depending on where the station is, there can be a difference of 2-3 S units when I bounce between the 2 antennas. 73, Juha UP...

Gary,

No, the box is not checked.

Thetis version you can see at bottom of my post.

Again, I wish I could have attached a brief video clip but can't. The noise-floor ebbs and flows ion RX1 whereas it stays "steady" on RX2.

Scott asked me the same question many weeks ago.

Juha

"Last gasp" effort to understand why this is happening. To me, it would seem that there is something wrong with RX1. As I had reported quite extensively many weeks ago, RX1 exhibits a strange anomaly - noise floor dropping and then bouncing back several times in a row (regardless of band o...

Well, it is just a hobby, nothing earth-shattering and I guess I am better off going back to being an appliance operator and sell the ANAN. It was fun while it lasted

73,

I backed up the OpenHPSDR Program Folder and the OpenHPSDR Roaming Folder before deleting those 2 folders (Thetis still showed up in Apps, so I also uninstalled Thetis there), wanting to see if starting from scratch would make a difference. I won't go into the issues I had been observing, including ...

Scott, Router is plugged into the switch. Again, the hardware set-up is exactly the same as it was a few weeks ago. When I used the Bootloader I assigned ("WRITE IP") the IP address that I saw on the "H/W Select" form where it says "ANAN Address." From what you are writ...

Decided to go back to using the radio via an Ethernet switch rather than having radio talk directly with the PC (I used Bootloader to assign static IP addresses to radio and NIC in the PC). 1. Imported the Database that I had been using successfully (radio talking to PC via the Ethernet switch). 2. ...

For some reason, I had assigned the static IP address for the NIC incorrectly while thinking that I had found the problem

Got it fixed.......
Disregard

Not sure, but when using the Bootloader (to assign static IP to the radio, as I have done successfully previously), the utility finds the board in the ANAN and also displays the MAC address, but after I restart Thetis, nothing works and no MAC address is to be seen. See below.

I wait long enough for the hardware in the ANAN to be up and running before I click on the Thetis icon on my desktop.

ANAN is connected directly to the PC (static IP), no dedicated NIC.

Again, this has started happening only recently.

Juha

Lately, I have been seeing a pop-up (after clicking on the Thetis icon on my desk-top) to the effect that the radio isn't (hardware) connected or powered on, but it is. This is something rather new and I can get it all working after I restart my PC (powering down/power cycling the radio won't help)....

Thanks Steve!

How do you make sure that a meter floats (perhaps that isn't the correct term as I want the meter to stick to the GUI) on top of the main GUI? When I switch from GUI to surf the net, the meter shows up but not the GUI. How do I avoid the meter showing up (with no Thetis GUI visible) when I am in &qu...

Is there a thread that speaks to the BH-7 and BH-4 filter windows specifically on the DSP>Options form?

Juha

Scott,

Would be a nice-to-have, the ability to unselect though.

Juha

Sigi, Scott, OK. When I want to de-select parameters shown on the various forms that I do NOT want to be saved with TX profiles, I assume that I just click on the yellow highlighted parameters, correct"? Trying that on the main GUI, I see the yellow color to change into GREEN or RED, telling me...

Scott,
I didn't know of this feature, but I ascribe that to reading manuals or operating instructions too fast.
Thanks!
Juha

Hello Sigi, I was curious about your Ring Buffer and Audio Port settings. So, are you not seeing many under/overflows at all? Also, people tell me that numbers in the IN and OUT boxes should be the same although I am not sure if that is a requirement. There was a video about these settings, not sure...

Hello Sigi, I do use VAC but I switch from LSB to AM/SAM, the VAC1 box gets unchecked. This has never happened before., only on the latest Thetis version does it happen. After I checked the VAC1 box, I do get audio on AM. I find it odd that the "MIC" and "COMP" functions get swit...

Was monitoring 40 m just now and noticed a commercial AM station, booming. Switched from LSB to AM, and SAM, for kicks also, To my surprise, there is NO audio whatsoever and I also noticed that "MIC" and "COMP" buttons changed to green. I have never seen this before on earlier Th...

Scott,

It is working as I wanted.

CAT band data via USB and controlling amp via VNC from PC.

As has become patently clear, I have a huge "talent" for making basic things very complex

Juha

Scott, The designer of the amp posted (by "control the amp through USB", he means, being able to access the VNC server in the amp won't work via USB): "There is no way to control the amp through USB. IP only either through VNC or through a program like Node Red using the commands in t...

Scott,
That's what I thought of too, but I believe that the amp needs to be configured to use either USB or Ethernet, not both at the same time as that would cause a "conflict." I have posted this query on the amp community page too.
Juha

Moved to amp sub-forum.

As part of experimentation, I have migrated from using Ethernet (and TCI) between my radio and an RF2K-S amp to USB for CAT control. Now, I would like to continue having my RF2K-S amp communicating with the radio in a way that I could still use VNC (the amp has a VNC server) as I did before. Does an...

Hi Scott, I posted this also on the RF-KIT yahoo groups.io page as I am not certain how the RF2K-S amp would "interpret" an Adapter. Presently, I have the ANAN plugged directly into the LAN port of the NIC of the PC, with the priority set at 1, with priority of the WiFi NIC set at 100 whic...

Happy to report success using that Ethernet USB adapter. Not an ideal solution but it works, especially once the Interface Metric was changed to a value of 1. Setting up VACs and other things are proving very difficult. Some of these may be gremlins between Win10 and Win11 versions, since most of t...
