Disable Diversity!

Hi Norbert,

I am using built 2024-01-26. I can run 2 receivers at 192000 without problems. Second RX is assigned to VFO B. you can change to RX2 (activate) by clicking on the spectrum. The S-meter and headphone audio are always related to the active RX. Split is working as well.

Hi all, if you are running piHPSDR with two receivers enabled, it is not possible to listen to both receivers simultaneously via the headphones. This is a big disadvantage for split DX chasing... However, on page 61 of the piHPSDR manual the LOCAL AUDIO OUTPUT checkboxes and options are described. I...

Transverter RX Gain has been added in January 2024.

After waiting 4 weeks for delivery, my cable arrived on the 19th of March. On request I received wiring information the next day. Unfortunately the cable provided by AL was about 4" too short. So I finally crossed Pins 9 an 10 (suggested by Laurence) in the old cable, this was not complicated. ...

I'd be interested how Apache have implemented the control board. From the specs it appears the control board is at least compatible with Rz1ZR's latest version. He does a very good job with the software (I have a VKamp running his software) but his hardware implementation is Ho Hum with a bunch of ...

Hello Tony, any news on this cable? Regards Volker Volker, The modified cables have been ordered and will be provided FOC once available.

I had the same problem with FW V12. You have to install the latest version of piHPSDR to have output (26th Jan 2024).

Hello, my G2 Saturn with display (mostly running piHPSDR) does behave exactily as described in the manualin terms on power off behaviour. - I remember one single event where the system got hot after shutdown. But this was before I made the Firmeware Update and changed some Pi startup setting. This n...

"qst" (LOL) : having only one TRX and selling it before getting the new one isn't very smart. I bought ANAN 10 ANAN 100 ANAN 7000 DLE and some daughterboards from Apache Labs. My experience is, that when you get the invoice and pay it, you get the stuff within 1-3 weeks depending on custom...

Issue has been fixed in latest piHPSDR version and encoders are working well now.

Laurence,

I know that this is more a volunteer project than an industrial product like Kenwood TRXs..

BUT for 4000 bucks I would expect some kind of mod kit from the "factory" like the fan mod ANAN7000.

Hi all,

my G2 is running well with the latest updates installed, except of the fact that all 4 (8) dual rotary encoders do not react on every second step. If you are rotating the knobs slowly this is very annoying. Does anyone have the same problem?

Thanks

Hello all, here a short summary of my current issues with piHPSDR/G2 harware 1) Encoder menue no storing changes - already reported 2) After the latest update I cannot find the sample rate setting (radio menue) 3) knacks/glitches in rx audio -already reported EDIT at 96kHz sampling rate RX audio se...

Hi Laurence, at startup I see the raspberry pi start screen only on HDMI, but only for a very short time. After that, I only see booting and starting of the application on the touchscreen, as before. HDMI monitor is not active any more (power save).Display->Preferences shows HDMI1. But I cannot sele...

Finally found an issue: if one plugs in a HDMI cable, the pi reboots, if it is removed, everything is fine. Looks like a "wake on ..." setting in the pi preferences causes the trouble.

Hello, now my G2 Saturn is running much better with piHPSDR. I am just asking myself whether ist is possible to duplicate the 7" screen to a monitor? Did anyone connect a separate Monitor to one of the HDMI outputs so far? Do I have to change any settings for that in the pi setup (e.g. preferen...

Update: in version 2023/10/04 transverters work (thanks to DL1YCF). I have been configuring my 3 transverters for 144/14 HA1YA 432/28 homebrew 1296/52 DB6NT Very important is the value of PA gain in order to get a clean output signal. For 0dBm at 14 and 28 the value is about 70.7 and for 52 it is sl...

UPDATE:

in version 9/29 of piHPSDR transverter bands can be activated, but the RX routing (selection in ANT menue) to the xvert input does not work and the selection is not stored as well.

Hello, it is possible to create transverter bands in piHPSDR similar to Thetis. BUT I did not succeed in switching to these band, you see the buttons in the "Band" menu, but you cannot activate them. - is this a future option? - do I have to make manual entries somewhere in some kinda &quo...

CAT is back in operation, TNX Rick.

I fully agree with Scott. Developers of piHPSDR always update on Github and is not obvious for us "users" whether it is recommended to update from Github or not.

Tried a couple of encoder control options, seems to work fine now. Thanks a lot Rick!

However, some encoder switches like "PS" or "COMP" still do not work.

Volker

Thank you Rick! I really appreciate your work and your fast replies.

Hello,

after an update of piHPSDR my ANAN is behaving strange. After switching on the 13.8V supply, it starts without I have pressed the button. After powering down it restarts after 4 seconds.

Is this a hardware failure or a new feature? Any ideas will be highly appreciated.

Updated to release 9/19. After that update, CAT refused to work.

Anyone experiencing the same?

It is puzzling why the G2 local pihpsdr produces these little gaps and hick-ups in the audio. Better to continue this discussion in the original topic (https://community.apache-labs.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=4792), but it's a good bet that piHPSDR running on a CM4 just can't keep up with the real...
