Re: Specttrum noise

I see the same thing on transmit after the radio has been on continuously for some time (days). A power cycle of the radio via Thetis clears the issue. I assume this is a spectral display issue since my spectrum analyzer does not show any issues during transmit. 7000DLE MKii Black, Thetis 2.8.1.1, P...

Re: Noise Burst on initial transmit

For me "RX BYPASS on Tx" makes no difference, I still have the RX audio burst at the start of TX sequence.

Re: Noise Burst on initial transmit

The only option that made any sense to me was the RF Delay. If I set this to 500 (maximum) it does delay RF until after the RX audio burst is gone but this is not a viable solution in my opinion. I assume the RX audio burst is coming from a buffer but I don't understand why it should even be there d...

Re: Noise Burst on initial transmit

On transmit there is a burst of RX signal at the start of the transmission. PTT from WSJT-X or MOX result in the same issue. It appears I am seeing the same thing as in the original post.

Re: Noise Burst on initial transmit

Yes, it appears to be FT8 receive - the capture is from the TX display, not the RX display.

Re: Noise Burst on initial transmit

I should have mentioned that I am also running a 7000DLE MKII black edition (received early in 2021). Thetis: v2.8.1.1 Firmware: Protocol_2_v1.9 For FT8 I have the VAC1 RXGain (Thetis) at -25dB. I am using VM Bananna with VAC1 gains set at 0dB. If I increase the VAC1 RXGain (Thetis) to 0dB the rx si...

Re: Noise Burst on initial transmit

I also see a noise burst at the start of a transmission, in this case it is FT8. The noise looks like it is coming from the receiver just prior to the input from WSJT-X. Since it is around 50db below the transmit level of 0dBm it is not a problem but I would rather it was not there. I wonder if ther...

Thanks! I suspect it is an issue with the router. Since all is working via the static IP I will leave it for another day.

Re: 7000DLE MKII Black - IP Dissapears After A Few Seconds

I am looking at the router (RT-AC68U) list of clients. For some reason the IP appeared in the list when the radio is first powered on but then disappears from the list after a few seconds. No issues with ping since I set the IP address via the bootloader. I will use a static IP going forward - I was...

Re: 7000DLE MKII Black - IP Dissapears After A Few Seconds

I could not get DHCP to work so I set the IP using the bootloader and installed protocol 2 v2.0.b firmware while I was at it. Once the radio was rebooted (non bootloader mode) I could ping the IP I set above and Thetis v2.8.11 is now working. Any ideas on what might be going on with DHCP, where the ...

7000DLE MKII Black - IP Dissapears After A Few Seconds

I have a brand new 7000DLE MKII (Black Edition) just out of the box. When I connect it to my router I see an IP assigned as expected but then it disappears after a few seconds. The radio in NOT in bootloader mode. When I put it in bootloader mode and power on, NO IP is assigned. Any Ideas on where t...

Re: Shipping Updates

I ordered a 7000DLE Black Edition on 15-December and have received an email that it will be shipped from the US (to Canada) early next week. I have been having issues sending/receiving emails to Apache Labs in the last few days. At the moment any email sent to apache-labs.com (tried two different ma...
