Re: Anan 200D Case

Hi Martin,

I have an old ANAN 200D case but WITHOUT back panel, and inner shielding plates.
I would give it away for free if you defray the postage fees.

Re: Pure Signal2 and network bandwidth note!

Hi Scott,

Just a stupid joke :

Fat (eg thick) clients against lean (eg thin) clients is still an open discussion. But remember flavour and taste is in the fat
(any good cook would say so).

Re: Glitches using Thetis with Log4OM

Re: Watt meter calibration

Hi James,

you may adjust the Thetis wattmeter in SetUp /PA Settings/Watt Meter. You may linearise the scale in 10 W increments.
Be carefull not to fry your PA.

Hi Scott As I allready wrote on this forum I use the 32 bit version because on my system the processor load is much less than with the 64 bit version. The 64 bit requires 2 to 3 (three !) times more processor resource. I have no explanation for this. Apparently no other Thetis user mentioned such a ...

Hi Dave, On my 200D (as on your's most probably) there is HF power on the transverter TX output when transmitting on ANY HF band. I had to put a 28 MHz band pass filter on the HF input of my home made transverter to correct this mess somewhat. This is why I'm considering more and more to abandon my ...

Re: Thetis v2.8.11 - current issues

Ok,

I'll test this ASAP.

73s

Update : disabling antivirus lowered marginally processor load (1% estimated) and did not alter the difference between 32 & 64 bit version of Thetis (the latter being still twice as demanding on processor load).
