Re: Thetis_Updated_Version_WD5Y

Joe, thanks for the update, appreciated the collapsed view cleaned up, that's my preferred view. Everything else works just fine, mine, being a 10W radio, it won't take advantages of the full cross needle span, it will be nice to have, as per the physical meter, a selectable range. 73 and Season Gre...

Re: Random Wide TX on a 10E and Thetis

Mike, I am experiencing the same thing since the early days of Thetis, up to the point that once I thought to came back to Power SDR MRX PS, but given today's Thetis features, it is hard to make such a step back. I do confirm taking place only when PS is engaged, it randomly happens after several PT...

Re: Thetis v2.9.0 - Updates and Issues

Just a minor bug that I have noticed, the auto mode switch (DSP/CW), does not seems to work when selected, not a new thing either :oops: .

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

Scott, thanks for the prompt reply, SNB is also a good tool but does not seems to be effective on a wide band RF pulse noise (it just smooths the audio noise) , as per the power line one, this takes a large chunk of the high bands, with its peak on 15m, were it is about 20dB above the standard band ...

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

Inspired by the latest K4 Firmware implementation, on which additional bandwidth filters have been put in front of Noise Blanker, three settings, narrow (1kHz), wide (5kHz), OFF, (24kHz). NB on Thetis works very well, unfortunately, when a loud signal is nearby or just within the chosen IF2, it beco...

Re: x-Axis vs peak-blobs vs rx-meter

Hi Ernst,
it is refered to the bin bandwidth, which given the 26dB difference, should be set at 7.4Hz

10 log (2960/7.4) = 26

What is single cal?

Joe,
stand for single calibration, PS runs just once and do not update according to the incoming feedback (no adaptive PS)

From main console, click on Linearity to access the related selections, including single cal.

Same issue as N9VX on my ANAN10 (16bit) running Thetis 2.8.11 P1 using W10 x64. i7 desktop 6 gig ram, SS drive.

Did try deleting the file wdspWisdom00 and regenerating it with no joy.

It seems linked to PS as without it or single cal it works fine, it happens randomly 1 every 12-15 ptt

Same as Jesus, noticed that the FFT window won't make it all the way to the end and closes by it self, if I try to start Thetis, it stops at 'initialiazing portaudio' and then closes.
