Re: Another Windows 1903 update annoyance

It also required me to switch from standard NVIDIA drivers to DCH. Not necessarily a big deal, but this was the first update that required that on my machine and it took me awhile to figure out why the drivers I had would not load.

Re: 2018 QST Review ANAN-8000DLE

I'm sorry, I'm not willing to let QST, or the author, off for making such a clear error. Whether the problem was in the hardware or otherwise, it does not excuse the fact that something was obviously wrong with their data. These reviews are important and must be credible. They should have double che...

Re: Resampler Adjustment

I don't mean to beat a dead horse, but I still don't understand the following: 1. If 40 ms is as low as I can go in a manual buffer latency setting and run stable, am I better off running auto or manual? (I suspect there may be no way to answer this question, but in case there is......). 2. I have n...

Re: Resampler Adjustment

Bryan, thanks for the information. I had to reboot for unrelated reasons and when I brought Thetis up again, the audio was rough with the same settings I showed in the screenshots. I went back to full auto and everything evened out. Again, I have no idea whether the manual settings that did at one t...

Re: Resampler Adjustment

Here's a screen shot of current audio settings. I noted that at these settings, not only am I getting glitch free audio with no over/under runs, but the Var ratio is as close to "0" as I have ever seen it, whatever that might indicate.

Re: Resampler Adjustment

Scott, nice summary as usual. As you know, I run exclusively with VAC audio enabled. With the Resampler enabled, I was able to run more-or-less glitch free in HPSDRmrx at 512/48k and a manual 0 ms buffer latency setting. Primary buffer was 128. I say more-or-less because I occasionally heard some mi...

Re: Elad TMATE2 USB Tuning system

Update: I am able to get to a 100 Hz tune step by lowering the tune step in HPSDR to 50 Hz. If I lower it to 25 Hz, the T Mate tune step is 50 Hz. 100 Hz in HPSDR yields a 250 Hz tune step in the T Mate. And so on and so forth. So, the T Mate is not interpreting the HPSDR tune step correctly. It goe...

Re: Orion Mk II 2.3 firmware released (current protocol/Protocol 1)

Scott, ver. 2.4 is what came on both Carl's and Enne's 8000's. So, for whatever reason, the 8000's appear to be currently shipping with 2/4 installed. In both cases, rolling back to 2.2 or 2.3 did not clear the problems both were having and appear to have no bearing on the issues they are having.

Tony, unfortunately, Magician doesn't do anything except artificially increase your drive Passmark score. In fact, I'm not sure it even works on the 960 EVO. I know it is not compatible with the 960 PRO, which I use.
