Re: Band Noise

If their signal is in your passband…it’s in your passband. There are plenty of SSB signals that are intended to be 3kHz but so dirty with IMD they are 9 kHz wide or worse. Doesn’t matter what your receiver is, if the signal is in your tuned passband, you are going to receive it.

Re: PS without amp sampling

I run it all the time, one amp works well with the coupler output, one does not. With the one that doesn’t work well, I simply run PS on the local loop back. Over the air there is no distinguishable difference. It is the cleanest signal you will see on the bands. If it bothers you when it hunts arou...

Re: Thetis 2_8_11 changes/ideas/wants/wishes

Champagne wishes and caviar dreams. A cleaner voice keyer interface.

Re: Transmit oddity

I see the same, I just toggle power. I call it a “visual glitch”. On SSB the whole screen goes wide, but I’ve verified it’s definitely not going over the air. Sometimes it will show the TX in the opposite sideband as well, again, just the visual display. I think it’s something to do with packet sequ...

Thanks for all the work you’ve done. I’d love a diversity screen that scales so when a corner is dragged it just resizes and scales to the window size.

Re: 7000DLE MKII Frequency Drift

That diagonal drift is something I ran into with fldigi early on when I was figuring out my Anan. My “fix” was to ensure VAC and everything in the chain was 48kHz, buffer to 2048 and clicking “force” on the resampler. I left the buffers on auto and I was good to go at that point. I have a 7000 but I...

The latest version of Thetis should “just work” with P1 running on it. Try that first, radio should work. To load P2 I recommend using the Programmers instead, download both the P1 and P2 Programmer. Use the P1 Programmer to load the P2 firmware (2.0.0b has been working for me) and you should be off...

Yup, just tested it this morning. NR2 has no effect. Buffer size didn't change it either. The filter size is where it was with the combo of the low-latency option. At 4096 it's so minimized, nearly gone, 8192 it becomes more prevalent again. So easy enough just run it at 4096 for me and it works wel...

I thought I'd asked this before but maybe not. I've noticed an odd "jangling" like shaking a bag of metallic objects or shaking a metal chain that is an artifact on voice peaks that I can hear on receive with strong signals and it can be heard on my TX audio as well when signals are strong...
