You can't calibrate the radio if it is in CW mode. The calibration will be off by the same frequency as the CW pitch.

Just something to check.

Yes, I see that.
Thanks Rick.

I have a 7000 DLE and I don't see anyway to set or change the RX2 preselector.

For what it's worth.

I have the latest Thetis software installed.

Excuse me..

When doing a Calibration, if the mode is set to CW then the results of the calibration is off by
the CW offset. Up for CWU , down for CWL

Thanks
Tom AA4VV

Frequency calibration should be done in SSB mode. Adding the ability to do this in CW mode doesn't seem like a worthwhile pursuit. You may be right. It seems to me that the Calibration shouldn't work in CW mode. It will give an incorrect calibration when in CW mode. Thanks for your great support in...

I am using Version 21k8 and P2. Radio is an ANAN 7000 In CW when QSK is set and NB2 is on, I get two signals on the monitor display. One at the VFO freq and one at the true CW freq. Also when doing a Calibration, if the mode is set to CW then the results of the calibration is off by the CW offset. U...

pulled from the wants/wishes thread. What is meant to happen here Tom? As a test, I slapped in 3.650.000 into HRD over cat, with a VFOA RTTY cat offset in DIGIL of 0. The vfo freq in Thetis was 3.650.000. I then changed it to an offset of 1500 DIGL. The vfo in Thetis was now 3.651.500 when sent 3.6...

Fix the RTTY offset.

Setup -> CAT Control -> CAT

Under RTTY Offset

Enable Offset VFO A
Enable Offset VFO B

This will enable correct frequency when spotting RTTY or going to a RTTY a station that has been spotted.

Thanks

I'm using 64 bit, P2. Version D4 although the problem has been there for a long time. Setup -> Cat Control -> Cat There is a box titled RTTY offset. If I enable "Enable Offset VFO A" and put 2125 in the DIDGL box, nothing happens. I THINK it should offset the VFO A by 2125 Hz so that RTTY ...

Thanks Gary for your help. I would never been able to get it to work without your help.

SUCCESS The problem was the cable.

I can now switch bands automatically and run the KPA500 utility with simply adding another
cable.

73 Tom AA4VV

I finally have my KPA500 working again.. I do have the KPA utility program working fine. I can change bands with it and it will follow the band if I change the bands manually. The problem is I can't get the Thetis program to change bands . Gary, can you tell me what you have for the KPA500 Menu sett...

Scott, Thanks for taking the time to respond. Yes I have done all the things you suggested. The four posts on the radio side of the back power switch has no voltage when the switch is turned on. I will call Elecraft tomorrow and see if they think that's a problem and if so send me a new switch. I do...

Gary and Scott, Thanks for the great information. My 80 year old brain would have never figured this all out. Now my problem is the KPA500 will not power on. The manual says to turn off the power switch at the back when changing cables. When I turned it off it would not turn on again. I will get tha...

Thanks Gary for the fast reply.


Please tell me what you mean by "make a crossover" for the USB to DB9 serial adapter.

73 Tom AA4VV

I'm running Thetis 2.8.11 with an ANAN 7000 DLE and an Elecraft KPA500. I have the KPA Utility running which gives me the Band, Power, etc for the KPA500. I would like to connect the KPA500 to the 7000 so that when I change bands on the 7000 the KPA500 will change bands. I know that I may not be abl...

Thanks Scott. I looked for a long time and never saw that.
73 Tom AA4VV

I don't see where I can edit the Band Stack. How do I do it?

Thanks
Tom AA4VV

Hermesintf.dll is a DLL that connects to Skimmer Server to allow SDR radios to be used with skimmer. I asked Vasiliy if he would update it to run with protocol 2 firmware on the Apache radios. He doesn't have the time now to do it. Below is a comment he made about the DLl which is open source on git...

Thanks... I hope he will try it...

73 Tom AA4VV

He actually had a version that I used which was running on a 100D Protocol 1.
I believe he is aware that it may be a problem to get it running with Protocol 2 but I'm hoping he will try.

I have talked to Vasilly Gokoyev about updating his program HermisIntf.dll to work with Skimmer Server and Thetis for the 7000. He asked me "Would need some help with understanding what changed between 100D and 7000, especially HPSDR protocol wise." He has a version working for the 100D An...

Will the same settings work to get the Transmit / Receive switching time low for DIGU in FT8?

Thanks
Tom AA4VV

Thanks Helmut and Scott.

It is working well enough. As always I appreciate the wonderful help.

73 Tom AA4VV

Helmut, It does come very close to QSK in the SEMI CW mode with a short timeer.

73 Tom AA4VV

Thanks Helmut.

I must be doing something wrong. In QSK mode and AGC set to CUSTO as you suggested,l it takes the RX
about 1 - 2 seconds to recover from a sending of a dot.
I did cycle the AGC as you suggested.

73 Tom AA4VV

I have a 7000 and would like to run QSK. Firmware : Metis_Orion_MkII_Protocol_2_v2.0b Software : latest Thetis beta. 2.7.0 (3/1/20) When I try QSK it doesn't recover fast enough from TX to be considered QSK in my opinion. In true QSK I should be able to hear signals between characters or certainly b...

Scot,
This is what had me confused

"You will also notice that there are no longer any PureSignal indications at the bottom right corner of the spectral display. That is a UI bug"

Thanks Scott for all the good information.
