Re: ANAN-6000DLE

I love the concept of the 6000, and recently placed a deposit-of-interest. This would be a backup to my primary 7000DLE MkII. I'm fine waiting however long it takes! Meanwhile I have my 7000DLE MkII which I love, to keep me happy.

Re: Thetis 2_8_11 changes/ideas/wants/wishes

Very minor issue here but coming from a brand new user perspective, I think keyboard shortcuts should be enabled in a fresh install of Thetis so spacebar PTT works straight out of the box.

Re: thetis keyboard not working ????

This bit me too and I pulled my hair out for a while. Thank you for the solution, but why is this (Keyboard Shortcuts) not enabled by default in a fresh install of Thetis? If you're prone to skimming manuals/FAQs you'll see a lot of "use spacebar for PTT" and this not being enabled by defa...

Re: Amp for 7000 DLE MKII and AM.

In the winter I use an AL-82 with its pair of 3-500 jugs running at around 250 watts of carrier on AM with my ANAN 200D. It has plenty of headroom and can run AM all day and all night. Plus, it has the added benefit or really warming the room on those cold evenings while running AM on 160 meters. W...

Re: Amp for 7000 DLE MKII and AM.

You can't go wrong with an Elecraft KPA-500 or KPA-1500. They operate just fine in any mode. Bulletproof, easy to operate, and excellent remote control software. Also fully supported by DDUtil for station automation. The -1500 also has a built-in coupler for PureSignal. Elecraft is pricey, though! ...

Amp for 7000 DLE MKII and AM.

Would like to hear experiences with amplifiers that play nice with Anans and the AM mode. What works well, what doesn't. Yes I did use the search first but didn't really come up with a thread that addresses this topic.

Understood. One last update here, I did get the patch installed. The tricky part of this is that I was just holding down CTRL when I clicked the Thetis Icon. It must be held down until the program loads and tells you to restart. If someone else has the MicMute fatal error, maybe they will find this ...

This morning I received the balance invoice for my 7000, and paid it. So presumably my radio is shipping. Just a data point for others who are waiting. My order was placed in mid-May.
