Re: Controller V2 Preorders

Thanks for the update Abhi.

I think we all understand that delays can happen due to the pandemic. It is the lack of information that has been a bit concerning.

Re: What client software are YOU using ??

Having tried a few of the other options, I can equivocally state that Thetis is the best client. It gives you full control over (almost) every RX and TX parameter and it is very stable. I have run it for weeks at a time both in digital and SSB modes and with no problems. One thing to keep in mind is...

Re: Packet Radio ?

Last I tried Winlink with ARDOP I briefly managed to connect, but it failed after multiple re-transmissions. Seems to me there is a timing issue, which I have yet to explore.

Re: Thetis 2.8.11 Released!

Geoff,

Thetis 2.8.9 works very well on my Anan-10 - still with protocol 1. It is a nice upgrade from PowerSDR. I use it with WSJT-X on an old i5 machine.
Will update to 2.8.11 tomorrow.

Sorry, that is 2.8.7.

Also, the hardware here is the 3000DLE MkII. Also tested on an Anan-10 with Protocol 1, but RX only.

Re: Thetis 2.8.8 Released!

A bug in 2.8.6? Doug, thanks for the new Thetis release. The new Memory form is very interesting. Now, it could be my ageing brain, but I am not able to get any power out in SSB. No audio when I turn Monitor on, either. The microphone settings are the same as for 2.7.0. Any suggestions? BTW, I made ...

Re: Need to restart Thetis to restore amp after fault?

Hi Laurence, It looks like the database got corrupted. I had to re-load an old version. One of the other problems showing up is that it increases the S-meter readings by several S-units. You may well be right that it relates to tuning. I mainly run WSJT-X and change bands many times during the day. ...

Re: Need to restart Thetis to restore amp after fault?

Same hardware here; same fault. The radio gives very low output on tune. In my case I don't think it was a fault in the amplifier, but it happens occasionally and the cure is to turn power off Thetis as well as the 7000. Could be that RF gets into the computer. I often run QRO. 73 de va7qi, ....Erik.

Re: VAC Problem

Hi Scott, I am using Thetis 2.6.9 and it WAS working with just the default VAC installation. Neither TX, nor RX works. I suspect a Windows update even though I have an update blocker installed. MSFT has a way of sneaking some updates through, anyway. Under the VAC tab I can see activity in both dire...

Re: VAC Tutorial

Thanks for the tutorial. Although I did use VMB in the past I decided to use VAC with my new Anan 7000. I use Thetis v 1.9. After a day or so of testing WSJT-x rc2 and after restarting my Windows 10 Home (most recent version) WSJT-X cannot find the VAC devices. I use a single cable and when looking ...

Re: New 7000/8000 Orion MKII Protocol 2 Firmware Topic

Thanks for all the great suggestions. It works very well now.

The fix: some sleep, re-installed PCAP and re-booted Windows. Thetis is flying... Now on to getting WSJT-X working with Thetis.
