I know that this is more a volunteer project than an industrial product like Kenwood TRXs..

BUT for 4000 bucks I would expect some kind of mod kit from the "factory" like the fan mod ANAN7000.

After waiting 4 weeks for delivery, my cable arrived on the 19th of March. On request I received wiring information the next day.

Unfortunately the cable provided by AL was about 4" too short. So I finally crossed Pins 9 an 10 (suggested by Laurence) in the old cable, this was not complicated. In Thetis there is no difference between using front and back 3,5mm jack.

But in piHPSDR (latest built) I can only use the back connector, the front connector still does not work, at least with a headset (bias).

Does anybody else made the same experience? Any thoughts welcome....

There seem to be two kinds of headsets: those where the tip and ring connector are joined together (and provide both audio path and bias) and those where the two functions are not directly joined at the headset end. I have two headsets and they are the first kind; and they won't work directly in any anan radio. My "fix" is to have an adapter cable with stereo socket, connected to only one of tip or ring.

Abhi has some of the other kind of headset; I haven't found them in UK. He also has some like mine.
