Re: Need help!

Had to delete the OpenSDR in my AppsData folder

Need help!

Its been months since I have used my rig. I had to rebuild my PC and started from scratch. I installed 2.9 Thetis. (have protocol 2 already installed working fine).

However, It will NOT connect if I select ANAN-7000DLE. It WILL connect on HERMES or others.

Any ideas?

Re: Thetis v2.8.11 - UPDATES and current issues

I admit, I could be wrong - but did enabling the attenuator RAISE the noise floor measurements (ie pan adapter and S meter) happen in previous versions?
I have auto AGC off.

Re: Understanding DSP NR

These videos were fantastic! Thanks for sharing I compare my FTDX101D to the Anan constantly and yes the Anan NR2 when its a big signal, sounds amazing, but for weaker signals the 101D really outshines it when it comes to NR (only). Are there any suggestions how to better "tune" the NR par...

Re: How to limit max gain

ok I found the issue - I had EQ set in VoiceMeter Banana which was driving up the gain above zero. All is good. I have also made some of the changes you suggested and am able to control via the AGC vs everything else. Thanks again!

You may want to move this to VAC section.

How to limit max gain

I would like to know if there is a way to limit the maximum gain applied to the AGC minimize clipping on the input of my Audio Device on overly strong signals. I am constantly adjusting the volume (ie RX AF Gain ).

Any suggestions?

Re: RX2 and VAC2

Thanks.. got it all working with your suggestions. However the only way I could sync the audio (ie remove the echo) was to add a a fair amount of latency to vac1 (adjusting the various parameters) Any other suggestions?

Re: Fundamental Question - Sampling Rate

Thank you sir for the detailed explanation and fantastic read!
Am I mistaken by your statement (" It is merely changing how noise power is displayed,") but is the sampling rate only affecting the visual aspects of reception? Are there no other benefits?

Does this show up with the antenna unplugged?

If so it’s the power supply or something near field

If it’s with the antenna plugged something far field most likely
