Pure Signal issue on Black 7000DLE MKII
Posted: Thu Apr 14, 2022 10:14 pm
I recently moved to a new home (new to me). I've been trudging through getting things reconnected and tuned. Today I connected and tuned the AL-80B amplifier. On the output of the amp I have an RF sampler that I was previously using without issue. The brand is CleanRF. I have the output of the sampler connected to EXT1on the rear of the transceiver. At the SETUP>GENERAL>ANT/FILTERS location I have "EXT 1 on Tx" selected. The issue is I am not seeing any feedback from the sampler to EXT1 when I transmit. in this state. Here are my settings on this page.
Without "EXT 1 on Tx" selected, PureSignal works perfectly with the feedback in the transceiver.
With "Ext 1 on Tx" selected and using the amp, I do see a slight bit of feedback. The feedback indicator is Blue with a signal level of 29. Even with no wire connection from the sampler to EXT1 I'm seeing a level of 29. I tried a different cable with the same result. I tested both cables and no problems were found.
My question now is there something else I may have selected (or not) that is opening the path from EXT1 to the PureSignal path in the receiver? I have read through the Richie's notes to see if there is a change I might have missed. I am running Thetis v2.9.0 (4/3/22) (Protocol 2 v2.1.18) MW0LGE 22b (test). The only thing I have really changed ,other than all the updates as they have been available, is the firmware.
I changed from Protocol 2 v2.0.0 to v2.1.18 this morning. Everything else seems to be working fine.
If more detail is needed please advise. Thanks much for the help.
