Re: cmASIO feature in Thetis 2.10.3.5 pre 3

Thanks Bryan. Just tried it and it indeed picks up both channels. Minor issue in having to turn down the gain or unplug the channel not in use. Turning down the gain means having to reset it with the Mic meter when switching back unless you unplug it but better than nothing! Would be really nice to ...

Re: cmASIO feature in Thetis 2.10.3.5 pre 3

I use the UMC202HD and it works fine with cmASIO on input channel 1. Is there anyway to switch to channel 2 on he 202HD using cmASIO in order to select a different microphone without having to use VoiceMeter?

Thanks,

Joe, W4WT

Re: cmASIO feature in Thetis 2.10.3.5 pre 3

Perhaps I misinterpreted what I read over the course of the last few months or so that the MK III has been available. If it is all RFI issues, then obviously the MK III is just fine.

Re: cmASIO feature in Thetis 2.10.3.5 pre 3

Thanks Scott & W4ATL for the info. I wasn't aware that this enabled RX2 to run through ASIO also now. Nice. I assume, since we don't have access to any settings, per se, that under/overflows are now a thing of the past? No more "robotic voice" problems as was the case when we had runaw...

Re: cmASIO feature in Thetis 2.10.3.5 pre 3

I thought I'd give this a try and it worked straight away using my UMC2020. No problems noted. My only question is what the purpose of this is? Is it simply to eliminate having to use VAC to get the benefits of ASIO drivers (not to belittle that time saver!) or is there something else that I don't r...

Re: Bug in DUP displayed power level--need someone else to test & confirm

I have another datapoint. I decided to see if my old Franken-Anan would still run. I haven't tried to use it since 2020 when I got the 7000DLE MKII. This machine has a 2017 MKII board, as they were called then; the successor to the 200D and I think it is the board in the 8000's of that era. I purcha...

I just did the test as Richie described he did; use internal coupler, set to 10 watts, press Tune, check level, and then key radio in CW mode both with DUP on. I see around -10db for BOTH of those tests in the panadapter reading. Both CW and Tune agree. I'm using a 7000 DLE MK II. Not sure what Rich...

Re: Abrupt reduction of noise floor on receive

Juha, If you have a bnc T-connector you can make a splitter that will work well enough for this test. If not, just parallel three pieces of small coax and put connectors on all three ends then connect an end to Ant 1, another to RX2, and the third to the antenna. Should work just fine to see if one ...

I would make sure ...

"Surely I can have 2 receivers on the same band as in some cases a SPLIT operation may call for an off-set of 10s of kHz." If this is what you want to do you don't need to use RX2 at all. Just set SPLIT and then use Multi-Rx to listen to your transmit frequency as well as receive. Joe, W4WT
