Re: RemAud with Thetis

Thanks Scott. I was able to get Voicemeeter to connect Thetis and RemAudio, after watching the online tutorials. I do think now that Voicemeeter is a bit of overkill for this purpose, although it works well. I did get Virtual Cable software from the same Website and found it very easy to use from th...

Re: RemAud with Thetis

Scott, you answered my question, I think. I am understanding from your post that RemAudio needs to be connected to Thetis via virtual audio cables. I am not very familiar with virtual audio, but know that VoiceMeterPotato is a common program to create virtual audio connections. I've heard that Voice...

RemAud with Thetis

How have RemAud users connected the RemAud Server with Thetis? Is it possible to get virtual audio cables between them for receive and transmit audio? If so, what are the details to set this up?

CPU Usage Missing in 2.10.0

I noticed CPU Usage which used to be displayed at the bottom left of the main screen is missing in 2.10.0. Is there a setting in setup to display it?

I also hear a clink when opening the diversity window. The suggested settings don't fix it.
Anyone else have this behavior?

Re: Thetis 2.9.0.6 lockup on return to receive from transmit

I have since replaced the 7000 with a spare 7000 that I have, and the spare doesn't have the lockup problem. So I am concluding there's a hardware problem in the original 7000.

OK, putting ferrites on mouse and keyboard. Is there any clue from the fact that the lockup only occurs upon release of the PTT?

Re: Thetis 2.9.0.6 lockup on return to receive from transmit

OK, the lockup occurs whether I use a separate Ethernet card. or a single card on the LAN. It always occurs on release of PTT. I have several toroids on the Ethernet cable to the radio. The Lan is on 192.168.1.xxx and the radio is DHCP. On the separate card, I set the IP to 169.254.236.227 because t...

Re: Thetis 2.9.0.6 lockup on return to receive from transmit

By crash I mean the Thetis program freezes, no receive and no response to pushing buttons, except Power and the PLL. Strangely, the transmit usually works. Almost always the radio must be cycled off then on to make it work again. Always requires shut down and restart of Thetis.

Re: Thetis 2.9.0.6 lockup on return to receive from transmit

The radio is connected to the PC with a second Ethernet card, directly with nothing else connected. The problem occurs if I disconnect the LAN form the PC. The lan is a 192.169.1.xx LAN, connected to the WAN router.

Re: Thetis 2.9.0.6 lockup on return to receive from transmit

Ground strap to central station ground. But the problem occurs even when transmitting into a dummy load at low power. Also, all non-resonant antennas are fed with ladder line into a balanced turner with a choke on the input.

Scott, I'm not so sure it is an RFI problem because it occurs when i'm only transmitting with low power, 20 Watts. My computer is grounded with heavy ground strap. Also, I think it might not be only a Thetis problem, because sometimes I have to power off and power the radio back on to clear the Thet...

Voice only. I have several antennas: 1/2 wave dipoles for 40,80, and 160, resonant with baluns for transmitting. non resonant dipole with ladder line and balanced tune. Power level and antennal doesn't affect whether the problem occurs.

Yes, I've had 200D's and 700DLE Mk II's for which I've used the Bootloader to program the FPGA's. The new 7000 couldn't be found by Thetis and the Bootloader just locked up trying to erase the FPGA.

The new boards do not ship with any firmware installed. The bootloader doesn't even get past erasing the FPGA. Just locks up.

Bootloader for new 7000DLE

I have experienced problems loading the new firmware for the new 7000. The bootloader recognizes the radio, but after pushing the program button, the erasing message is displayed, but never erases, just locks up. Is a new bootloader needed, or some other problem.

Re: CPU Usage

I am running the 64bit version of Thetis. The CPU usage reported by others I assume is for 64 bits as well. At least everyone I compared mine to runs 64 bits. I don't encounter any problems with Thetis functioning, it's just that the CPU usage seems abnormally high.

Before installing Thetis 2.9.0.6 I uninstalled the existing version using Revo uninstaller. I had also done that for 2.9.0.3. Same CPU usage for both versions. Even with Thetis powered down, it uses 10% CPU and 10% GPU. No antivirus running. Don't know what else to check.
