Re: Is it worth upgrading from early 100D/200D rigs to latest Anan hardware?

Thanks for feedback on this question. That has helped clarify my own thoughts on this which were finding it hard to see the advantages of an upgrade. I have an older Rev16 unit but I have done the upgrades for PureSignal routing and added an external fan. Not done the GPSDO !0MHz yet but have costed...

Is it worth upgrading from early 100D/200D rigs to latest Anan hardware?

Like many current Anan users I have an older rig (200D from 2004 in my case). We have gone through several iterations of the Apache Labs/Anan hardware since then and now we have the G2. My old 200D still seems to perform well and I have benefitted from the outstanding OpenHPSDR updates to both firmw...

Re: Firmware fix for RF appearing on RX only ports

@G3ZQH OK, tnx for trying those. So I went back to the pre4 firmware and added the same fixes for the RF on RX-only. I have put these at version 1.9.5 Here are a couple of images to try. Please note that I have no way of testing these as I don't have a 200D. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/vejjeq8mb...

Re: Firmware fix for RF appearing on RX only ports

@G3ZQH Hi Dave, When Rob was helping me test the 200D firmware I had sent him two other F/W images to try. Could you give these a try also and let me know how they work out for you. I can put some of the 'pre4' timing back in and generate some new images with that if these don't work out for you. h...

Re: JTDX jumps 500hz on TX

Hi Tony, just saw your post. I have previously had this problem as well when I moved to TCI. Like you, I saw a 0.5kHz step in TX frequency when using JTDX. It seems that some versions of JTDX do not play nicely with TCI. This could be resolved by changing the radio settings in JTDX for split operati...

Re: Help-with unwanted TX reverb using electret mic PC audio

Reverb problem now finally solved! I thought it would be any easy fix but that was not the case. After looking at the PC/Thetis audio chains I found a few small problems but none of these were responsible for the reverb effect. I looked for RF feedback and added more ferrites. Again, no perceptible ...

Re: Help-with unwanted TX reverb using electret mic PC audio

Does this reverb occur when you are working into a dummy load or at very low output power? Where is the antenna relative to the PC? Have you tried the simple expedient of a few ferrites on the mic cable? Have you tried a different microphone? What sort of grounding and bonding work have you done on...

Re: Help-with unwanted TX reverb using electret mic PC audio

Now the one sketchy thing that is going on is that the Realtek ASIO driver is negotiating a buffer size of 160 with Voicemeeter. How is that working out for you in terms of sound quality? What Thetis VAC buffer setting is working for you? If the answer is "none are working well" there are...

If the Realtek ASIO drivers are properly installed, you can see in that latest screenshot that you did not select the Realtek ASIO instances of the mic and speaker devices when you assigned inputs and outputs in Voicemeeter. Try reassigning them. I tried this but could see the Realtek ASIO only in ...

Just another observation to add. The same birdies are not there when I unplug my mic- although some different peaks appear at a lower level (see screenshots below). My mic is electret, so is it possible that these audio birdies are linked to the bias voltage? Has anyone seen these peaks with a stand...
