pre19 fixes my 48kHz dropout problem on my ANAN 100. I don't use PS so can't comment on that.

Good job!!

Have you done audio out to WSJT-X or FLDigi?

That's where my ANAN 100 is failing with all the dropouts.

What rig do you have?
Please everybody state what rig you have (in every post) so we can keep track of which ones are working.

de Mike W9MDB

pre18 still fails audio on my ANAN 100. Went back to 10.7
I see lots of ANAN 10 talk -- is this supposed to work on an ANAN 100 too?



de Mike W9MDB

I just loaded pre15 on my ANAN 100 and my audio to WSJT-X is completely hosed. I'm getting regular dropouts coming from Thetis 2.6.9 that I didn't get previously (I hadn't tried any of these pre-releases yet). Here's a snapshot of the audio recorded with Audacity. I'm going 48kHz everywhere and trie...

Is your headset connect to the rig or the computer? You've got the computer mic/speakers as your input/output devices so when you click MON the rig audio comes out the speakers and feeds back into your computer mic and/or headset mic. So select your headset instead of the speakers as your output dev...

I always use just the Left channel on input & output -- summing the two makes no sense for WSJT-X for either input or output. I just tested with Stereo checked/unchecked and Combine VAC channels checked/unchecked and see no difference. VB Banana AUX control panel shows two channels active on Inp...

The MIC level does increase the last 3dB as expected but no more power out of the rig.
I'm only running 7W from the Apache 100 into my amp so it's not like it's any limit.

What's the next stage after the MIC level?

Mike

I installed 2.6.9 1/25/20 and was calibrating my audio from WSJT-X. Anything above -3.0dB on WSJT-X is being essentially ignored by Thetis and not raising the signal level. I suspect the last bit in the 16-bit audio value is having a problem during conversion. I always calibrate WSJT-X at full scale...

Try increasing the buffer size and if that doesn't work decrease the sample rate.

Mike

The buffer latency could have some effect.

Two things....turn on the "Force" boxes and try Manual for the latency boxes.

And your audio setttings are....????

Also...you do have a gigabit switch I guess....have you tried plugging directly into the rig instead of through the switch?

Mike

Yeah...you're right...VAC shouldn't matter in that case. Somebody else would have answer if the DUP is showing the loopback from the rig which is what I would imagine it is. If you look at the WWV signal do you see dropouts there too? What do you have for your other audio settings? Buffer size? Samp...

In the VAC setup you can pick different drivers.
It defaults to MME I think so try the others.

Mike

Have you tried the different audio drivers in Thetis yet?

Also..check out WinTimerTest and LatencyMon to see what they tell you.

What CPU/Motherboard do you have?

Mike

Look for audiodg.exe too and also disable CPU 0.

Mike

Looks like dropouts. One thing I'd like to see you try is use Task Manager CPU Affinity to turn off CPU 0 for Thetis and see if it makes a difference. Using the Latency Indepth test I've seen every computer having long latency times on CPU 0 compare to the other CPUs as it seems every driver wants t...

Looks like they took it out of V2 (or rather haven't put it in yet).
Better ask them on the Log4OM forum about it.

Mike

In the CAT control in Log4OM you'll find a checkbox that says "Send Freq before Mode" -- toggle it
I'm guessing you have that checked right now?

de Mike W9MDB

Try setting the CW pitch to zero in Thetis. Setup/DSP/CW

Mike

I'll try and duplicate this....it sounds like Thetis is doing freq, then mode, which will it 600Hz too low and the 2nd spot resets the frequency.

This should only happen when switching between USB and CW.

It should be doing mode, then frequency. I don't see an option for that.

de Mike W9MDB

The 600Hz offset is correct as the spot in Log4OM is the transmit frequency...not the sidetone.

You will see the frequency drop 600Hz when switching from USB to CW so you hear the CW tone at 600Hz. You'll find the CW Pitch in the DSP/CW tab.

de Mike W9MDBG

I assume your rig is changing mode between USB and CW?

de Mike W9MDB

Settings aren't maintained in the installation folder.
You can uninstall and reinstall and it remembers everything.
You have to manually remove settings.
They are in %LOCALAPPDATA% under the program name.
Mike

That would indicate there were left-over files from the 32-bit installation getting in the way. All you should've needed to do was clean the old directory. And an uninstall should have removed any such binaries. Did you uninstall the 32-bit first?

de Mike W9MDB

According to the specs for the Mark II RF Output Power: 100W PEP SSB, FM, RTTY, Digital; 1-30W AM, 100W CW Usually the CW means Continuous Wave and not CW keying (at least it should mean that). Maybe somebody at Apache Labs can clear that up. Sounds like it should be be able to do 100W for FT8 and s...

Seems like you need to be able to see your transmitted signal.
Got anybody near you that could help?
Or a cheap USB SDR radio would allow you to see it.

And how do you know RF is being transmitted?

There's a replacement for Task Manager called Process Hacker with much more capability. You can set the priority for just one of your browser processes and "remember" it and it will apply forever to all of the browser processes. I set both priority and I/O priority to the lowest possible. ...
