Re: TCI with RF Kits RF2K amplifier

Had RFTKS amp a few months. Set up TCI early on and all fine. Think 50001 port is working for me. 200D Thetis Prtocol,Win 10 Dell I5 and old HP Win 7 laptop also worked.

So it's 1/4"TRS not XLR?

The manual says 6.3mm jack??

Now I'm lost....

1/4 " is 6.3 mm

Re: Anan 200 D

My first thought was AGC level setting wrong somewhere but seems like bad T/R relay contact in receive side. How is receive on RX 2? Not antenna 2 ? A different path to RX2 antenna connector.

Re: Poor audio quality on 10M FM receive

Try wider receive bandwidth filter. For US should be at least 5Khz for wide deviation .It may default to 2.5 khz wide .

Re: 7000dle mkII - low output power

Rob: I had this experience first year I had my 200D. Was OK then low to very low power 10/12 meters at least. Doug had to replace entire filter board as an inductor cooked a nasty scorch in it. Use an 8000 also no power issues. Hope you sort this out Richie. Tom KA1GXR

Re: New 7000/8000 Orion MKII Protocol 2 Firmware Topic

Look for the Bootloader switch on the bottom or back of case. No jumper except on 100d and older ones. My 200D has switch on the bottom and 8000dle and 7000 on the back. Yours should be below the 10mhz reference SMA connector.

Re: Noise Burst on initial transmit

I am probably having the same issues. Anan 200D using USB mic. on Vac. Reported on LSB. Does appear to be grabbing a bit of RX audio on initial keyup. Thetis 28.11. I suspect that changing some keyup delays may help. Have not tried to modify any lately.

Re: RX Level Calibration

Make sure each band is in same mode and bandwidth or levels will vary . Ideally test in cw mode narrow bandwidth like 500hz or narrower as suggested . There are some power supply birdies in different Anan models causing noise at various points in some bands. Most noticed in dummy load. Are you using...

Make sure your deviation is 5 khz. 2.5/5khz button on main screen lower right to right of microphone level slider. 2.5 will sound too low.

Thanks Bryan. I installed the patch on my Win 10 desktop using the 8000. All well with VAC2 and resampler now on restart. Will test my Win 7 laptop next . Is 3.49 Patch applicable to 200D or any other models using this version ?
