Hi Wayne, There is not enough information to help you out here. - Are you sure the Controller is on the same LAN segment as your DLE? The built-n computer in the 7000 will likely need to be disconnected. - Do you have more than one radio on your LAN? I found that the Controller could nor connect to ...

7000DLE MkII with 2.1.18 f/w. ....Erik.

The speaker disable function is much appreciated.

Uninstall/re-install worked. TNX de va7qi, ....Erik.

Hi Richie,

After installing rev 4 Thetis does not seem to connect to the radio properly. No firmware version is shown and the radio does not seem to be alive. The frequency windows and power button light up.

I was previously using the latest release.

Hi Scott, You do not need a keyboard and mouse to operate the Pi Controller for regular SSB/CW operation. All can be controlled from the touch screen, controls and the menu. The interface is actually very well designed. As for the documentation, I did an edit of the original (version 1) controller d...

I see that the latest versions are no longer listed on the first part of this discussion.
Where are the latest RC versions posted now?

Thanks Anthony,

It looks like the installation instructions have not changed then. Thanks.

BTW do you have a link to the upgrade process? I remember seeing it somewhere, but have lost the link. I upgraded yesterday and lost audio on Ch#1. Ch#2 works fine, so I ran in split mode this evening, I did not see any other changes, so perhaps I did something wrong. 73 de va7qi, ....Erik.

Hi Anthony,

Try changing the profile in the initial screen - the one you see before a radio is actually discovered.

Hi Volker,

I haven't found any way to calibrate the S-meter and on my radio the S-meter shows about 6 dB low.
I took a - granted brief - look at the code to see if there was any obvious place to change the meter reading, but I did not find anything.

The noise floor indication works well on 21k3 here. The lines may be a little thick, but that may just be my monitor.

one for the wish list: The ability to use the bandstack or memories from RX2. If I run FT8 on RX1 I cant just swap the receivers to change to a bandstack entry or to one of the memories. The bandstack and or memories could be the same as for RX1 or they could be separate. 73 de va7qi, ....Erik.

The enabling of CFC seems to disappear when I switch from digital profile to the canned CFC-28, which I modified a little. Other modifications seem to remain in the saved profile. I have to go in and enable it every time I switch from digital mode. I agree with Scott that the TX profiles are very us...

Hi Anthony,

I haven't tried, but the PiController supports CAT as described in the user guide, which you can download from the Apache web site.

73 de va7qi, ....Erik.

Another small issue noticed: When saving the current profile, the CFC on setting does not seem to be saved. The CFC equalizer settings were saved OK as was the bandwidth setting. Are you feeling a bit like Medusa Richie? Seriously, thanks for your work. It is really nice to see the development of Th...

Thanks for the link Mark. Yes, I figured that the lockdowns were getting pretty bad there. The low number of vaccinations is a surprise. We may be in this situation for a long time. I still wonder - do none of the employees have Internet access and can give us a regular update? This uncertainty is n...

Hi Richie,

I am using the released version of 2.8.11, f/w 2.0b on a 3000 DLE MkII. The button is on the lower right side of the Andromeda display.
Sorry, can't do a screen shot at the moment.

73 de va7qi, ....Erik.

Found a bug when using the Andromeda display format. When clicking on Antenna it correctly switches to antenna#2, but another click does nothing.

73 de va7qi, ....Erik.

Has anyone actually seen a live Andromeda coming out of the factory?

73 de va7qi, ....Erik.

Andras,

Did you set the microphone gain? There is a 20 dB gain that can be enabled in the menu.

73 de va7qi, ....Erik.

The manual has been updated. It is now version2.1. Can anyone supply text for the PS section?

Hi Enzo, I have had a brief look at the source code and it appears that remote access is at least considered. However, I have not found any documentation related to that, so it may be a future feature. Just to confirm that the piHPSDR Controller works well, I had Thetis running on my Anan-10 and the...

Hi Enzo, I have both Thetis and piHPSDR and I do not find any difference in the way the audio sounds or the overall signal processing. With Protocol 2 you can actually get up to 1.5 Mbps sample rate, but the audio will then sound very choppy. Up to 760 kbps it is fine. In piHPSDR you have little con...

Have fun, va7qi, ....Erik.

All, First of all, sorry about the link to the user guide that did not work. My web design tool seems to have a disconnect somewhere. All subordinate pages have to be specified in lower case: http://www.va7qi.ca/documents As for the piHPSDR controller, I find that it has the vast majority of the con...

All,

First draft of the Controller V2 User Guide is available at: www.va7qi.ca/Documents

Corrections/updates/comments are welcome.

Hi Leif, I do not use LinHPSDR, but WSJT-X has a radio setting for "FlexRadio/Anan PowerSDR/Thetis, which works fine here for both my Anan-10 and the 7000 DLE. Now, that is the setting for audio and don't forget to configure the VAC devices as well. Good luck and 73 de va7qi, ....Erik.

My 7000DLE MkII was shipped with version 2 firmware and has been working very well for several months.

73 de va7qi, ....Erik.

I hooked the Controller up to my Anan 7000 DLE MKII for a SSB QSO on 80 m. Here is what I noticed: - After selecting Protocol 2, it found the radio very quickly - It works well with one receiver. I used default sampling rate. - Interesting that the AGC/Gain cannot be set below -100. In my case, that...

Hello All, This posting should really be under its own heading, but I did not see a way to create new forum. I would like to see others share their experiences and questions here. My Controller v2 arrived last week and I have put it through some initial testing with my Anan-10 running v1 firmware. I...
