7000DLE MKII Upgrading Help

I purchased a used 7000DLE MKII in December 2020 from a private seller. With the help of John, K2YN, I was on the air in no time starting my SDR journey. I must say it's my favorite radio ever after 30 years as an amateur operator and it has worked flawlessly. I am still running Thetis v2.8.11 dated...

Re: WinKeyer USB

Update: I was never able to get the K1EL Winkeyer working properly using the front panel key jack. However, I did succeed in connecting via an RCA phono cable from the Winkeyer KEY1 jack to the rear panel DIG2 jack as mentioned in a prior post above and it worked pretty good. But, I noticed that whi...

WinKeyer USB

I'm interested in using the K1EL Winkeyer with my 7000 DLE MII. However, I'm not having much luck making it work. Any suggestions or resources for set up much appreciated. Does it connect to the front panel? I recall a thread talking about DIG IN 1 and DIGI IN 2 in the back panel as well. But, I'm a...

Re: RX2

Honestly, I had no idea there was an RX2 port on the back of the radio until now so that's news! What I'm attempting to figure out is can both receivers share the same antenna? Before the ANAN, I used a K3 with two receivers and they shared the same antenna which was convenient. For example, I would...

RX2

I'm attempting to configure RX2 for the first time on my black 7000 DLE MK II. Seems easy enough. But, I'm getting no signal on RX2. I have a multi band antenna and I'm trying to place RX1 on 20 meters and RX2 on 40 meters. However, there is clearly no signal being received as the waterfall is dead ...

Coupler Solutions

I'm at the point of my new installation that I'd like to incorporate PureSignal. So, I've been reading threads about couplers and talking to others on the air about this and still have some questions. A very common solutions seems to be the Xtronic XDC-4SO. However, it appears to be out of stock at ...

Transmit Audio Monitoring Suggestions

I'm interested in monitoring my audio during transmit using headphones. However, the MON feature seems unusable to me as currently configured due to latency issues. Is there a way to fix this via software settings? Please note that I'm NOT referring to using the onboard monitoring circuit for audio ...

Re: Audio Input Proposal

I have a Focusrite Scarlett Solo Gen 3 and a 2i2 Gen 2 available. I wonder if there is an advantage to using one, or the other, for this project? I suppose it does make sense to give these audio interfaces a try as was also mentioned by KC2RGW. I'm still a couple of weeks away from getting on the ai...

Re: Audio Input Proposal

Of course, five minutes after I post about the Audient, I learn about MIDI functionality for the first time . Now, I'm back to the beginning looking for a USB interface as I will likely want a controller at some point. This last two weeks has been like drinking from a firehose. I know how these thin...

Re: Audio Input Proposal

After looking a numerous reviews, I seem to be gravitating toward the Audient iD14 USB Audio Interface. Here is a link to the specifications and I'd be interested to hear feedback from those more experienced about these devices. I like the form factor, the preamps seem decent, and the reviews are ve...

Re: Audio Input Proposal

I've decided to set up my station initially using the analog mic input to learn the ropes since I have all of the necessary hardware in stock. However, I anticipate migrating to virtual audio very shortly thereafter. To that end, I've ordered a used inexpensive XLR condenser microphone (Blue Ember) ...

Re: Audio Input Proposal

Thank you for the detailed and thoughtful response Scott. You have opened my eyes to a new world of microphones. I've never considered condenser microphones in the past. I also appreciate your concerns regarding the cost factor. However, all of the equipment that I've listed is currently surplus gea...

I'm awaiting delivery of a 7000DLE MKII and have been reading the manuals and this community forum while contemplating the audio input chain.

Re: PC Upgrade Feedback

Ah yes, I see that now. I misread your previous post and went looking for a 6 core processor. Is there a list posted somewhere of graphics cards that we know will perform well? I keep reading and hearing about the GTX 1060 series. But, that appears to be circa 2016 technology. What are the equivalen...

Re: PC Upgrade Feedback

What are your thoughts about this proposed PC upgrade? In particular, I'm wondering about the graphics card as compared to the GTX 1060. And, the motherboard is pretty basic. Do I need a more robust MB? This build is exclusively for the Anan, audio tools, and logging software. Should I go for the i7...
