Apache Labs Community Forum

Hello guys.
Sorry for the delai to come back to all of you but Fedex have lost my first ferrites #31 package i have order 2 week ago .
Now i receive some to day and after i put some on those place you can see on the pictures and the distorted audio problem i had on 15M band was solved .
One ferrite you can see on the right side on the picture was a little too big on diameter . So just to big sure i have add another small one i had from amazon with the right diameter to be sure . All other are #31 from DX Engineering .
Even though this modification was at my expense, I really hope that Apache Labs will be more attentive to their own product, especially for the price that many had to pay.
Personally I find it unacceptable that Apache Labs sent a SDR transceiver of more than $ 4300 USD with an old version of Firmware, but also of PiHPSDR and in addition a serious conception flaw that apparently no one has seen.

Mega thanks to Richard Koch N6MUD for have solving this problem .

Thank you Michel. Very glad see a solution on this problem. My G2 was sent to the USA do to warranty so hope for a quick return.

Someone on facebook claimed, that 17m is distorted after this fix. I verified that, and confirm the problem, if using more than 20-25W.

Issue was fixed on 15m with ferrites, but now 17m is distorted. Any ideas?

Oh nooo. My G2 has been in USA for the 15 m problem and is under way back to me. I really hope it will work on all band. Thank you I will check the 17 meter when it arrives.
Have a nice weekend

Ugh, yep I noticed now 17M now has the problem. I am not sure how to fix this. I will ping Doug and see if he has any ideas.
