Hi Guys, Thanks for the reports on v1.6 I usually choose the next version to come with a _preX appended for pre test images. The difference between 1.6_pre1 and the TAPR release 1.6 is a change to the clock which feeds the Attenuators: "change clock for Rx Attenuator from CMCLK (12.288MHz) to C...

Hi Gary,

v1.6 is on the repo.

Jeff reports that 1.6_pre1: https://www.dropbox.com/s/3wjluftuaomg3um/Orion_MkII_Protocol_2_v1.6_pre1.rbf?dl=0
works better than whats on the repo.

It would be helpful to know how it is working for others.

Tnx

I've made some changes to Vasiliys Hermesintf DLL: https://github.com/k3it/HermesIntf to support Protocol 2. I have tested it on the Orion II with up to 7 receivers with good results. It will work for CwSkimmer, SkimSrv, and RttySkimmer: http://www.dxatlas.com/ I've enabled it for all P2 platforms f...

Hi John,

Yes that is correct, only for MKII.

Starting a new topic for 100D and P2. Migrating the updates from the Orion P2 releases in to the Angelia (100D) Please give a try of: https://www.dropbox.com/s/e560dzv53tzttz4/Angelia_Protocol_2_v11.8_pre2.rbf?dl=0 in case that has problems for you and you have not yet tried, please also try the pre...

Hey All, I've been watching the incoming rpt's from the v1.5 releases on the P2 MkII & MkI. It seems the MkII has been experiencing some crashes on a shift from rx to tx while using PS or Diversity where the MkI hasn't. At least thats what is seen in the reports. I've come up with an update for ...

Rob,

Tnx for taking the time to do that. Its very helpful.

I think I might know why the _pre2 image isn't working for you guys if you guys are running your 200D
using DHCP. I'm running it OK with a static IP.

I'll check that code later tonight.

Hey Dave/G3ZQH & All, Dave I replied to you on another thread. I look forward to hearing back from you. Tonight I have made some slight modifications to the 200D FW and would like for you and anyone interested to try it and compare to previous. I find it to be an improvement over Orion_NP_v1.5_p...

Hey Dave, Actually that post you replied to was intended for David A92GE a few posts up in this thread. I did see your posts concerning the spurs and the updated pics. Tnx! I meant to get back to you but I'm back at work now and it sure is distracting me from my real interests. I have had mixed resu...

Hi Pierre, I have seen Thetis 2.6.2 crash now and then when I was using it, but only intermittently, not regularly like you are reporting. One thing I have found successful when strange things are happening is to reset the database and start over. Have you tried that and does that make any differenc...

Hi Dave, When you have successfully programmed the Protocol 2 firmware via the bootloader. Power off 200D, put bootloader switch back to operation mode. Power on 200D, does the front LED to the right of the front power LED come up to a steady blink on/off? That should at least confirm the firmware i...

Guys, I've made some updates to the v1.4 P2 FW release. This was mostly to address issues posted here on the Apache forum. Some may have already been fixed in the v1.4 release, but I was still seeing spurs on XMIT at > 30m and Seq=> errors sporadically mostly on sample rates > 384K Problems addresse...

Here's some pre-3.3.0 Windows versions:

Hey All, I've been looking in to the 200D v1.3 FW L & R 'ANAN headphone output' being swapped. First I tried the 200D v1.3 FW with Thetis and my test was to use the Thetis pan for RX1 while listening to a CW station. For me that pan followed the movement to left on my headphones (as well as the ...

I had sent out an update ~ a month ago that perhaps Abhi had chosen to use: I put the 6M LNA logic back to the way it was in version 2.3 and created a version 2.5 NOTE: for v2.3 comments in bpf2_select.v and HPF_select.v said the LNA kicked in at 27 MHz but was really at 35 MHz, which it is again no...

I made some timing changes to hopefully address the Seq=> errors as well as the sporadic CW key click. There were no changes to anything that I could find that would affect CW between v1.2 & v1.3 so I'm hoping this is also timing related. Although I wasn't able to reproduce the key click I was s...

Conrad, I remember there was some issue with the internal 10mhz oscillator on the Hermes board being discussed a while back. I wonder if this may have something to do with the anomoly your seeing. Check out this thread: http://lists.openhpsdr.org/pipermail/hpsdr-openhpsdr.org/2013-May/092459.html 73...

Scott,

I notice the same here, even running on bare Linux.

Strong signals get very high volume, you then adjust to compensate but then mid to low
level signals are very weak in volume.

I should try playing with the audio/filter configuration...

Scott, Sorry your having issues. Your startup looks very similar to mine (copied below). I see nothing that stands out. I usually setup the network interface in VirtualBox to be a 'bridged' adapter, just in case you haven't and that may help. You could put a Protocol 1 FW on it and try this version ...

Scott, I run just the opposite, Linux with a Windows 10 hosted in VirtualBox: https://www.virtualbox.org/ This does allow audio through the VM both ways. Also you may consider running Linux within a Docker container although I think it is only supported on Windows 10. A quick search turned this up: ...

Hi Gary, There's quite a few changes between 1.7 & 2.3: https://github.com/TAPR/OpenHPSDR-Firmware/blob/master/Protocol%201/Orion_MkII%20(ANAN-7000DLE_ANAN-8000DLE)/Release_notes_Orion_MkII.txt It would be interesting to find where your CW problem started. If you have some time you could work yo...

Hey Guys, I saw what looked to be a bug a while back in the SPI.v module for the Protocol 2 firmware when sending the 2nd retry and had fixed that. When I saw this thread today I checked the latest Protocol 1 FW and found the same bug. It attempts to send the Alex data twice, but didn't set the data...

I've actually had 20 running, albeit a bit taxing on the Intel I7 CPU.

I only added the sound and extra receivers, the impressive interface is all Hermanns (DL3HVH).

If anyone has a Linux development system that you can build QT applications on, I've got a version that I modified adding local sound (alsa) and the capability to run up to 20 receiver slices (used for testing firmware) up on github: https://github.com/n1gp/cudaSDR 73's -Rick / N1GP https://cloud.gi...
