The fan on my early model 8000DLE pulls air *into* the case and it's been that way since I got it in April 2017. Closer inspection with a zoom camera shows where the fixing nuts where, holding the fan under the bottom detachable sheet. This would mean the air is drawn into the radio as I first susp...

When I replaced the filter in my 8000DLE it was obvious the fan was pulling air out of the case. The filter was dirty on the inside. Had it been pulling air from outside into the case, it would have pulled the foam filter into the fan . James WD5GWY Makes sense, James, At least this way Pulling air...

The fan on my 8000 was sounding very lumpy and so ordered a replacement > https://www.mouser.co.uk/ProductDetail/369-MEC0251V3000UA99 So which way did the fan go round ?? :shock: Yup, removed without due diligence. I would guess the fan pulls fresh air into the case but if so how does it not suck th...

As usual, BIG Tnx 73

Forgive me for asking again, Scott.

What should the input impedance of the 10mhz ref input be is it 50ohms or something else? I plan to use the Leo Bodnar GPSDO

Cheers,

Hi Scott - Can the same be said about the 8000DLE anything to do with the radio or 50ohm resistor on the output of the LBodnar unit?

Cheers

Thanks gentleman for taking time out to reply, all welcomed.

A friend has two HPSDR radios and plans to use both independently but through an SPE V3 amplifier. Radio 1 (Anan7000dle) goes into input1 and uses the -60db tap off the amp back to BYPASS. Output1 to the antenna. Radio 2 (HL2) goes into input2 and uses a directional coupler xtronic on the Output2 an...

HI Larry ! I did the NIC some time ago and followed Robs W1AEX in the most part on my win10 machine. Using 2.0b FW, I still had some errors then I moved the radio from the desk to a shelf BUT with a 3" hole beneath the fan. I did the throttling index mod kindly provided by Jordi and Scott and t...

I'm having problems from time to time with VAC initialization using ASIO drivers. Seems that audio is not initializing correctly because I have no audio at all when Thetis starts up. I've never had this kind of issue... It appeared in one of the latest releases. It is not a PC related problem becau...

I don't have one myself, but the web site shows an external fan connector. I suspect you have a defective unit. Pending other responses in this topic you may want to contact the factory. 1059_1067_1050_1047_7000DLE MKII BLK5 small.png Mine looks like this BUT I didnt get the corresponding female pl...

Scott: Apologies, The behringer is nothing to do with the cable and Icom microphone. The patch cable I made was from 219>MIC input 3.5mm. Seperately, Ive bought the UMC202HD to try and use VAC as opposed to hardware inputs into the MIC 3.5mm and this way I can share one microphone to 2+ devices. Mos...

That might be a little low to get full output from the Icom mic, as I believe it is 8V on Icom radios. But worth a try. If it doesn't work, just use the mic from your 7000. In fact it might be less work to build/buy a switchbox. You were correct it didnt provide enough drive otherwise the wiring wa...

Alrighty will give it a go. Thank you

Hey Scott: I have powered the radio down (front button) each time before checking but never switched off the PSU ? Below is what im getting with each software. The radio is connected via the router which is downstairs and the PC too. Logging into the router shows the device and its MAC and the ESET ...

Hi, Having just performed a few mods on my radio including the bootloader switch it is all back together again and on my home DHCP network. The radio appears to have firmware 5.9 loaded, PSDR loads ok connects and reports the IP and MAC address. Testing the bootloader switch and "test for bootl...

I had managed to fix the problem but the information about the plug was kindly provided by Apache Labs by email ( Tnx Hari). It is as below:- 1) Mouser Part Number: 571-14803180 Manufacturer Product Number: 1-480318-0 Description: Socket Connectors SOCKET FREE 2 CRKTS 2) Mouser Part Number: 571-3505...

Thank you, Ron.

I used my phone with magnifier to see what you had kindly explained. So, I made a brass tool on the lathe to release the tab (bit fiddly) but I successfully got it out...hurray!


Thanks again we might be ok now

Trying to do some upgrades on the radio and initially when I opened the radio the J2 power leads were hanging on a thread. I soldered them back but it seems the actual wire is too stiff and poor quality and simply does not flex in any way and so its almost the same again. I decided to replace these ...

Now lashed together see pics. Tnx to those in the thread that offered advice.

p.s The Moretti was worth the wait!

Would you believe both fuse models are on 20+ week lead time :o so that has put paid to that. Not sure its a good idea to swap the fuse for a jumper so ill probably do all the jobs including the RX1 mod and test the heck out of the firmwares available. Are you able to run P2 with your 100D? If so wh...

Don't forget the external fan. That's what really matters. Roger that, Scott. 100D Full Board F3 Bridged.png IMG_4149.JPG I just noticed on Bobs Angelia board the power plug stands vertical (bottom right). My one is different and turned 90 degrees toward the PSU. Does this depict if early/late boar...

I have the updated fan as mentioned in your article which should arrive sometime this week. Like you said, it certainly cant hurt and I have a suitable 120mm fan which can go on the top already. There is now way I would attempt to the new fuse myself but the component is ridiculously cheap so I'll o...

Hi, Following this topic with the lid being off my 100D :) Is there any evidence to suggest the new fuse or bridge enables the 100D to run P2 more reliably. Also curious if anyone did the cooling mod(uprated fan) + this mod together actually found more or less stability. OT but the pressed riser ~~~...

Morning Scott, Thanks for the reply.....I get the voltage is low ;). I had thought about only moving JP4 to Pins 2&3 Tip and leave JP5&6 off that way it should be exactly the same as my 7000 (as set in Thetis) and any dynamic studio mic should work. OMG yeah pin 6 PTT ground was omitted. I w...

Hi, This grey 100D Angelia came up at a great price so I jumped in!. I am fortunate to have a 7000dle mk2 which uses a balanced dynamic studio mic and a cable made up from Scott's fab guide here > https://apache-labs.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=2790 "Better" option. Previous own...

For those of us using this older controller I wanted to share the vector file and image for anyone wanting to do their own version. Both files are to scale 1:1

Im having the vinyl printed next and will post back the final results shortly.

Little progress.... Hercules_cad.jpg Hercules_printed.JPG Hercules_InPlace.JPG 3d Files attached as STL. Costs around £8 in material if you get someone to print for you. I have a CAD file done for the Hercules MP3 E2 facia vinyl but cant decide on layout yet!!. Will post back final version here in a...

Norbert: I can only suggest covering or replacing the rubber inlay as a quick solution. I will see what is involved when I get mine apart, maybe a 3d printed turnwheel with a grooved bolt could be a long term fix for you. Sigi: Thanks a lot for the great pics and I'm so happy to know how to(this for...

Hello Norbert, I was going to submit a new post but this might save some room. I have the DJ Control MP3 e2 controller and would like to remove the facia so that a custom vinyl print can be applied and then reassemble. I think the facia will come over the bottons and the sliders and knobs are easily...
