Apache Lab Anan 8000DLE with Thetis and version 2.0 Pre4 - when using diversity reception after pressing PTT around 10 times to simulate a QSO the receiver will lock up with 9+60db noise. It works again when Diversity Reception is turned off but the Anan needs a reboot. Have been able to replicate ...

Thank you Richie for E2 - running vy well here... and the Video with moving panafalls....amazing !

I think Doug has missed the -CATStructs.xml- file in the -Thetis_2.6.8_3Nov19_e2.7z-

Did not try the .msi...

You click it so it turns blue, to give it focus, you can see the 'caret' flashing on the right hand side. This is so you can type numbers in there, as a 'normal' text box. Mouse wheel does not work when blue, at least i haven't ever seen it working like that. To use mouse wheel you just hover the m...

Hi all, for your info - with the D6 version scrolling the qrg with the mousewheel won´t work in the panadapter when I before tried to scroll in the frequency window. Have now 4.1d and all o.k. 73, Helmut Which d6 version? and where are you using the mouse wheel? If you are just using mouse wheel in...

Gary, I think it is not a noticable difference - if you compare the results of Rob Sherwoods PDF at nc0b.com/imd you can notice, that the IMDs are between 20 and 37 dBc on both the PowerGenius XL and the KPA1500. Most visible is the huge variation from band to band. I see also the variation of the c...

Anan 8000DLE Using 2 tone test with Expert 2K-FA I see -65db or better. I see typically -60 on SSB. Using 2 tone test with Elecraft KPA1500 (2XLDMOS) I see -50db. I see typically -45 to -50 on SSB. Both at ~1200W out. Disappointing as for other reasons I'm switching to the KPA1500, but from what I ...

Helmut, We may each be writing about two different things. To clarify: If you select Bypass on TX and have the Bypass port connected to an appropriate coupler, then you are indeed seeing what is coming out of the coupler when DUP is ON. 73, Scott Thank you Scott ... that´s what I wanted to know - w...

VY confusing for me, Scott what I see on the Anan RX with DUP checked and RXBypass on TX checked for Amplifier use - is not the truth of IMD on the way to the antenna or dummy load ? My Amplifier has a coupler built in with +10dBm/1KW which is on the RXBypass input of the 7000dle to linearize. The n...

Gary and Scott, yes, Rob Sherwood did this test to show the IMD-behave of the Amplifiers themselves - not using a feedback-output of the amp. The Anan with its own predistorted signal is a good source to do this. Comparing the IMD at the output of the amplifier with an Analyzer or other SDR-Radio wi...

In the Groups-IO: FlexRadioSmartSDR group: I just uploaded a PDF with the current test data. Over time there will be data on more linear amplifiers. Likewise, we are compiling data on modern individual transceivers. Use the link below to download the PDF file. nc0b.com/imd Note: all lower case, par...

Looked at the Apache Labs website today, no 8000dle found

Hi Roger,

some 7000 have the cable wrong - may be on your 8000 also ? Only a guess .....

Well today I have tried Thetis c5 with P2 v1.7, v1.8, v1.9 (which has been working fine until today), v2.0 pre-beta. None of them are working well enough to use for any length of time, let alone reliably. I'm beginning to think it may be the current Thetis c5 and not the firmware. Don't know what c...

Hi Paco,

I found a video on youtube showing wrong factory-cabling on the 7000dleMK2

May be it can help you ?

Hi Helmut, This is something I have on the list to sort out when the RX filter edge code is reworked. Only way around it at the moment is not to have such a large zoom when in CTUN mode. Edit: does it happen at a much lower zoom? ie with the filter well inside the window and not near the edges Edit...

Hi all, it´s getting better and better :D One thing that i do not understand is the shifting of the filter-window when switching between ctune on and off. I may have something wrong im my setup. Here to show it in DIGU with 3KHz Filter and 4X zoom: https://up.picr.de/36892954wg.jpg CTUN off https://...

Thank you Richie vy much for the work you make us happy with 2.6.8. Gary, I am testing the Notch in FT8 and have found it working fine as should be, first i switched off in Setup DSP-MNF the Auto-increase, then with MNF active shift+MNF for the 100hz Notch which comes on the red line and take the gr...

Thank you, Walter I did not know this workaround with VAC and had all boxes unchecked to enable my setup for correct PTT with my ASIO Interface. I checked now the MOX version to bypass VAC and found, that ASIO works still with my Mike-PTT and when I want to playback I have to first press MOX and tha...

I can record audio from another station fine, and the .wav file is sounding ok, but the playback to the tx-path is similar as for Cecil. Running Anan 7000DLE MK2 with 2.0pre1-Firmware and Thetis 2.6.7 with an Fireface UCX under ASIO (VMB not involved or loaded). Is this still not available in Thetis...

Have to add,

the buffer-size 1024 is good on receive, but for transmit it has to be set to 2048 on my system ! With 1024 I have lots of blow-ups in duplex....

Good night from Bavaria

What happens if you uncheck all "Manual" checkboxes and adjust VAC buffer size to the minimum that will work properly? thats what I had in my first post on this thread, all manual unchecked - now I have a setup that is working solid without the sweeps: https://up.picr.de/35724331bv.jpg If...

Now with Firmware 1.9 and the sweep is stronger by accident (it varys more or less).




May be some user with an 7000dleMK1 (my SN 7000DLE 0121) can try that with FT8.

Thank you
Helmut oe9eri

Thank you, Scott for the test. I can repeat it here by switching the two force buttons on- and off. When on, there is no sweep, when off I have the audio-frequency-sweeping. Fast AGC, Linear Phase Filter, optimized ATT ??, also tested, just worked J65 St.Lucia this morning, can hear also up to -24, ...

Hello Scott, I do not have under or overflow at the time of taking the screen-prints. The counters are on 0 over long times when zeroed. So the switching between -force on- and -force-off does only show the behave of the pictures in the waterfall. With force-of f the decoding of many stations is onl...

I found today the following anomaly when running FT8 on my Anan 7000dle with Thetis 2.6.7 and Orion_MkII_Protocol_2_v2.0_pre1 with the Setup https://up.picr.de/35709540bc.jpg Signal audio is sweeping with both force disabled - when force is enabled the frequency is solid as to see on the vertical sp...

The new firmware Protocol2 V1.3 today released does now enable to get full RF-output on my Anan 7000dle

Many thanks do all developers, the 7000dle does now receive and transmit with Thetis and SDR-Console 3.0.4 !

Hello, after I got my Anan 7000dle about 2 month ago I learned a lot and in the meantime OpenHPSDRmRX 3.4.9 with Protocol1 v2.3 is working well for me. Today I was testing with Protocol2 v1.1 and v1.2 and SDR-Console 3.0.4 as member of the test-team, and Thetis v2.6.0 to verify problems. The 7000dle...

Conrad,

I don´t know how you measured this - analyzer overdriven ?? at 33dBm on Marker 1 ?

Analyzer should get max -30dBm at Input to show distortion free - but I think you know that.

So there must be something wrong with the PA saturation perhaps....

Can´t help you more..
