Re: New Apache Labs 1.5KW Linear Amplifier

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 ...

Re: Script to download the latest Pro2 and P2app

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

G2 with Display piHPSDR encoder issues

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

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.

Re: G2 and piHPSDR RigCtrl startup of CAT connection

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.

ANAN G2 with display booting after power is supplied

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.

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...

G2 and piHPSDR build 2 08 Pi reboots

Not quite sure what happened to my G2 with display after installing the latest piHPSDR build from 16.9.2023.
When I shut down the power with the pushbutton (pressed for a couple of seconds), the pi reboots after 4s.

Anybody having the same problem?

Thank you John,

Encoders are working now the way they should. Switches of the encoders do not work. Seems that my encoder bottom left has no switch.
Will investigate further.

Now using the latest build 2 08 from 9/16

TNX. I overlooked it. Now at 96kHz sampling rate the RX audio sounds better.

Do you edit any config file for fixing the encoder assignments?
