Re: GPSDO Tutorial?

I have a 7000DLE blue face and I am using a Trimble Thunderbolt GPS unit as an external 10MHz reference. It has a sine wave output that was a bit too high so I have the 50 ohm jumper installed on the Orion board and it is now within spec. Thetis is configured with the external 10 MHz enabled. I don'...

PLL Not Locked on 8000DLE

Setting up an 8000DLE and on the Gen H/W setup tab in the Firmware box, it is showing "PLL Not Locked".
The radio is working FB.
The Firmware version is 1.2.0 and the P2 version is (v3.3).
Any thoughts?

Richie,
I had the Disable Split on Band Change checked. Unchecked it and split on 11 meters now works!
Thanks for the quick reply.

Split function

Richie,
I noticed that the Split function does not work in the 11 meter mode. It works on all other bands.
Is this something that could be fixed in the future?
Thanks.

Re: Current consumption not showing

You have to alternate between offset and sensitivity during Rx and Tx to linearize the display on the bottom of the screen while monitoring an external current meter. Mine wound up being 251 and 76.

Re: Current consumption not showing

I have a 7000 DLE and it draws 1.2 amps on RX. I checked it against a known digital current meter. You have to go into the calibration tab and adjust the two settings for the current to get it to read correctly on low (RX) and high (TX).

Re: Thetis v2.10.3.3 released

I maybe didn't explain it correctly, The panadaptor filter width on RCV never changes when you change the filter settings in the FM tab.

Re: Thetis v2.10.3.3 released

Richie,
I watched your video on the new FM setup and I see when you change the filter widths, on RCV or XMT they change on the main display.
When I increase the filter width, nothing changes. It stays the same frequency on the display. it is stuck on 300 low and 3000 high.

Re: Thetis v2.10.2 pre-release

Richie,
I think I found a bug in the pre release 3.
When you go to collapsed mode and back to expanded mode, the meters disappear. Restarting Thetis brings them back.

Re: PA Gain settings (12 m behaves oddly)

I have a 7000DLE blue face and it was down on power on 12 meters when it left the factory. I sent it to Doug and he put the correct parts in the LPF and sent it back to me.
Some units left the factory with wrong parts in the LPF.
It is now putting out full power on 12 meters.

Richie, When in expanded mode and with band controls selected, if you select either SWL or VHF+, the band selection at the bottom of the screen disappears.

Re: Thetis v2.8.11 - UPDATES and current issues

The TX profile is not changing with mode change.
If I am in AM mode and change to SSB mode, the tx profile stays on the AM profile.
Interesting, if you are in SSB mode and in the AM tx profile and switch the mode to AM, the tx profile switches to SSB and the PS engages.
