Re: Major new version of Voicemeeter now in pre-release

Whatever improvements have been made under the hood. The new GUI for selecting "physical" inputs/outputs is a huge improvement.
Clear, logical layout, more info and links to Windows Sound.

Now, IF Voicemeeter could just tidy up the Digital channel nomenclature . . . . . .

Would it be possible to update the CMASIO Guide and list the basic pre-requisites to be able to use this feature. Namely your ASIO driver must be capbale of running with a buffer size of 64 (bits or bytes?). YOu can see whether your ASIO drivers meet this requirement by running the hostsample.exe wh...

Re: Thetis v2.9.0.8 - meters and then some more

Thanks for all the hard work and dedication. I'm enjoying the new features. Couple of things, both of which I can work around :- 1 ) If RX2 is turned on by 3rd party s/w eg JTDX - meters for RX2 dont appear. Workaround - Turn RX2 off then on - meters back. Or turn RX2 on before opening JTDX . 2) Occ...

Out of Band Antenna Switching

Guess this is a feature request/wishlist item - but uncertain which thread if any is active for these suggestions. Currently you cannot change RX antennas on an out of band frequency. Is it possible to either allow this or possibly add 8m band (or other allocations) as an option in antenna selection...

Anomalous S meter reading on 6m band only

Firstly - this post has nothing to do with Ritch's meter enhancements. Ritchies improvement has only facilitated me gathering the data. The issue predates all this. The S meter reading on 6m looks anomolous cf other bands for comparable uV/Dbm readings (see table). Comparison of readings across all ...

Re: ANAN-7000DLE-MKii I7 Thetis and WSJT-X rig failure

Looking at your WSJT-x radio setup rings alarm bells with me.

Is there a reason to be usiing a different/second com port and RTS for PTT Method ?

Normally, WSJT-x and JDTX etc all run fine with CAT selected for PTT Method.

Re: No Output Power

Does the 7000 have a standby button like the 8000 ??

If so check that standby is not selected!.
In standby mode with the Anan 8000 you will see the signal on the panadapter but there is no output power .

It has caught me out a few times.
