Re: Wave Record Never Worked

Well no - because I have no response when I hit the record or quick rec buttons. This fellow only had trouble recording TX audio. The buttons turn Yellow and nothing happens. On the first load of Thetis years ago, it did work. The last year or so, no go. I do use VoiceMeter for local monitoring if t...

Wave Record Never Worked

Greetings all-

Finally getting around to asking this:
My Wave record never worked. You hit record and the box goes yellow- and nothing happens.
There is no clue- as to what causes this. There was no info in searching the forum.
Any ideas out there?

Tnx- Bob AB5N

Re: Frequency Display Reading 3.2Khz high

Alright- should have caught this one. I did frequency cal in USB mode. Ha! the frequency offset should have been the tip-off. It does not say on the Calibration screen to put it in AM mode. I just didn't notice it either because it was zero-beat. All fixed! Thanks guys for all your suggestions. Bob-...

I have not been able to get the Slow AGC set the way I like it. It is OK....but I'm unable to get a nice linear slow release.

What affects Thetis Boot-up time?

When I first set the 7000DLe II and Thetis up, it took about a minute to boot.

Now at one month in, it takes almost three minutes to boot.

I am using DHCP on both ends.

Anyone have knowledge of what affects boot up time?

Indeed the click to tune mode with the option turned on does lock it to the selected tuning increment.

Hi All- Well, as a Noob, I'm going to be posting some questions I think everyone will be interested in knowing the answers to.

Re: Ideal AGC Settings?

So nobody has any insights on this? What I have determined is that there is no release time constant adjuster.
It is always at about 1 second. That- is what we need to have real control of AGC performance.
