Hello James,

OK, it is much better now, I had the Waterfall Detector set to PEAK, not AVERAGE! Thank you for the screenshot!

OK, below I will attach a screenshot of the waterfall using pihpsdr, and also the waterfall using Thetis. One can clearly see that the pihpsdr is more beautiful! It seems like the 'ECHANCED' mode in Thetis needs to be more ENHANCED! Yes, have the G2 with display. I like the fact that I can use the G...

Hello James,

Yes, I have tried to customize it, but can not get it to look as good as pihpsdr in waterfall AUTO mode! Have you tried it?

Why does the waterfall looks so much better when using pihpsdr, (it is much more colorful)? I would think that one would be able to have the same beautiful colors as in pihpsdr, when using Thetis. Currently have selected 'Enchanced' for Palette.

Rick,

I just put back FPGA 11 FW and now it works correctly once again! Don't they try out the FW files before they release them?



John

Rick, I have tried it on both Thetis and piHPSDR, same results. It seems by the fact that the supply current goes up with increased power output setting, the RF is making its way to the PA, but not getting to the output of the antenna port. I got rid of the older FPGA FW files, thinking I wouldn't n...

Hello Rick, Yes, I did power the G2 off after upgrading. then powered it back on. The current increases, depending on the power put level that is set, but no power at the antenna port. Of course I am keeping the power output low, so that no damage is done. I have done several updates already with no...

I am not an expert with LINUX, but I did manage to get the latest FW and P2_app in my G2. LatestVersions.png When I click on the TUNE button in piHPSDR and Thetis, there is no output, but shows supply current increasing to 10A! What is going on? I previously had versions 11 (FW) and 14 (P2_app). Joh...

I have requested the schematic also, but never receiver one. I own a Anan-G2 with display.

In the past I have requested schematics to other radios, and did receive them.

No FPGA change needed. Just have 2 selections in Thetis and pihpsdr:

Mic on Tip, PTT on Ring

pihpsdr Mic on Tip, PTT on Ring (where it actually selects the opposite from what Thetis uses)



John

When using the front panel Mic Jack, even though your Mic is on TIP, and PTT pn Ring, you have to select the opposite in the "Radio" menu. Don't know why this can't be corrected in pihpsdr code!

When I tried to change the repo, I had an issue, it asked me for my username and then password. After I entered in a password (which I didn't believe I had to do before), it displayed there was an error... but also said passwords were no longer used...? Tried again, and it still wanted a password! C...

I ordered Anan G2 and I would like to know more about the software. Is G2. does it work correctly with Thetis like the latest versions of 7000MK2 and fully uses the potential of G2? Yes, it does. Does PIHPSDR have similar functions to a microphone amplifier such as compression and EQ? Yes, but the e...

Rick,

OK, I upgraded, and pihpsdr is working again!


Thank you,

The pihpsdr app isn't working after the last update! Upgraded many times before with no issues, now I get something that says something is incompatible.

PS operation is working with the internal circuitry on both pihpsdr and Thetis (using the 2 Tone Test). It doesn't appear to be working when using the 2 Tone Test with the sampler port on the Palstar LA-1K amplifier, with both pihpsdr and Thetis (while viewing the DUP Transmit Spectrum display). Cle...

Trying PS with pihpsdr. I notice when I am on the 80M band (and perhaps the other bands, I haven't tried them yet), it places the 2 Tones on the USB, NOT LSB (the main tones appear outside of the Tx Filter window)! Also, it does not appear to be working correctly. I am using the internal path. John ...

Pulled down the latest pihpsdr files, and now the PTT works again, Thank you!

The title bar displays "piHPSDR: saturn (Protocol 2 v8) on XDMA" I connected the Mic to Tip, and PTT to Ring. When using the rear jack, I select "Mic to Tip, and PTT to Ring" When using the front jack, I select "PTT on Tip, Mic and Bias on Ring" in both pihpsdr and Thet...

Please see the previous posting.

Also, my PTT seems to no longer work when using the front panel Mic Jack with pihpsdr, however it still works when using the Thetis program with same configuration!

I guess I have spoken too soon. When one modifies the settings, then closes the menu, the settings remain. However, if you close down the pihpsdr program OR when one starts the PC, the default settings remain for the right side knobs (not the modified settings one has set). I also remember 3 updates...

I see there was another update on the pihpsdr program that I saw today, that fixes the issue with the Comp On/Off, it now works!

Thank you,

Volker,

Locate your props file, and correct it as follows:

encoders[1].switch_function=MUTE
encoders[1].top_encoder_function=AFGAIN
encoders[1].bottom_encoder_function=AGCGAIN

Volker, I do not have that problem on my G2 with Display. I just upgraded it to 9/16/23. I still have the problem when I have "COMP" assigned to the Top-Right Switch. In order for it to toggle, I have to press the Top-Right Switch , and then the Bottom-Right Switch! Also, the Encoder Menu ...

Build 2 08 was from a week or 2 ago, didn't help me with the Encoder issue. You see piHPSDR saturn (Protocol 2 v8) on XDMA (on the top of the pihpsdr program, right?

Make sure you feel a depression on the Switches of the Encoders when you press them. If not remove them, position them correctly (there are slots that line up), and then push them back on... then try again. I had to do that with my G2.

I manually edited the props file in the same folder as the pihpsdr program, to setup my Encoder Switches, inner and outer dials: The file is called "D8-3A-DD-07-E6-A7.props" on my G2. I have the files required for pihpsdr in "/home/pi". I replaced the following lines in the file ...

1. I enter in the info manually for now. Strange things happen when one uses the "Encoders" menu to do it. Left-Bottom and Top-Right are reserved when using that way. Just enter in manually for now. I have "COMP" for Top-Right Switch, but it only works if you press that button, a...

I bought a Dell Keyboard and wireless mouse (KM3322W), and it works great. $25
