Re: cmASIO feature in Thetis 2.10.3.5 pre 3

I thought I'd give this a try and it worked straight away using my UMC2020. No problems noted. My only question is what the purpose of this is? Is it simply to eliminate having to use VAC to get the benefits of ASIO drivers (not to belittle that time saver!) or is there something else that I don't ...

Re: Saturn: A New Apache Labs SDR Transceiver (ANAN-G2)

The 7000 with Thetis is capable of excellent QSK CW, but needs hardware modification to prevent two pure signal relays from engaging during transmit and the replacement of the T/R mechanical relay with a reed relay for improved performance. Does the new radio improve on the 7000 CW design?

No Receive, Transmit OK

I experienced an unusual problem with Windows 11 and Thetis (but it could happen to any software running with your SDR.) I had my normal QSOs in the morning with Thetis and my 7000DLE MKII when I powered down Thetis and shut off the radio. I left my computer and Thetis up and running. I came back in...

Re: VOX vs N1MM voicekeyer question

In researching using VOX with N1MM I came across this thread, and I think you are confused about why we would use VOX with N1MM+. N1MM+ will not be keying using VOX. It keys the rig via CAT and sends the voice message. The operator will be using VOX to avoid having to press the PTT footswitch all th...

Re: Thetis QSK Delayed Sidetone

I went back and looked at my pics and I did take a picture of the new relay. It is mounted upside down with some silicone RTV. Wires run from the pads of the old relay to the pins of the new reed relay. Old relay (Orange). PXL_20220702_180853220.jpg New Reed Relay mounted upside down and before I so...

Re: Thetis QSK Delayed Sidetone

I've got photos of the 7000 disassembly but then I forgot to take pics of the installed board and the new relay.

Re: Thetis QSK Delayed Sidetone

I successfully implemented the W9AC modification for QSK on my 7000DLE MKII which involves replacing K5 on the PA Board with a reed relay and installing a circuit board that opens up the relay coil lines to RL17 and RL19. It appears the relay suggested by W9AC is out of production or not in stock so...

J15 to P1 or P2 on 7000DLE MKII

While disassembling my 7000 I labeled all the connectors except the ribbon cable on the Orion board from J15. Can someone tell me if it plugs into P1 or P2? When I removed it I did not notice there were two connectors right next to each other that are identical.

Re: Thetis QSK Delayed Sidetone

Just to clarify, can you run a "fast break-in" config in QSK mode using a sufficient delay and use the ASIO driver with the Behringer outboard interface (UMC202HD)? I am not a fan of full QSK but will need to avoid this latency creep during contests. Sure hope this is being looked at by t...

Re: Thetis QSK Delayed Sidetone

I have successfully implemented QSK CW, using a paddle with minimum delay in the sidetone. The secret is to use an external audio box, such as a Behringer UMC202HD, for low latency audio from the PC running Thetis to your headphones or speakers. One advantage is that I now have a separate volume con...

Re: Thetis QSK Delayed Sidetone

The delay can be reduced by going into Setup/DSP and setting Filter Size/CW = 1024. This is at the expense of filter sharpness but to me it is worth it. The delay is still there but much improved. Perhaps a lower number can eventually be implemented.

Thetis QSK Delayed Sidetone

When using QSK with Thetis you have to turn off the Sidetone so that only the routed TX signal tone comes through. But it is delayed making it difficult to use paddles at high speed. Is there a way to turn off the routed TX signal and use only the sidetone that is not delayed?

Re: Thetis v2.8.11 - UPDATES and current issues

It seems not many people using Thetis run CW but I hope a few do. One nagging issue I have running CW with Thetis on my new Anan 7000DLEMKII is when in QSK there are 2 tones coming through. The Sidetone (when enabled) and what I believe to be the transmitted signal. I can get rid of one of the tones...
