I just arrived to this party, with my 200D. I previously had been using Orion_NP_v1.8_pre2.rbf, dated Apr 16 2019. From time to time I suspected there were issues with this firmware (like intermittent Pure Signal, occasional audio dropouts, etc.) but after applying the fix in the Windows 10 Network ...

Just a visual extension. Some more characters can be displayed so the names of the transmit profiles are better readable Thank you Sigi for mentioning this. I have many TX profiles, and the width of the drop-down listbox is too narrow to display enough characters to be able to tell them apart. I'm ...

I just upgraded from 21c to 21d3. Two issues noticed: 1. When Thetis starts up, it remembers the last selected mode (LSB), but filter BW always 4.4 kHz. (My filter bandwidths are mostly custom, so the specific BW may not be the issue, but the position in the "stack" of BWs may be.) Never m...

I would prefer this one (from Ritchie) Richie's is good. That is, as long as we get a chance to suggest improvements when it's under development. For examples, there's no need for the SWR_POWER meter since we already have FORWARD_POWER and SWR. There's no need for ALC and ALC_G since we already hav...

Also, transmit multimeter . Back in December 2019 ( https://apache-labs.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=3182&p=9625#p9625 ) I said "On transmit, I would like to see several quantities simultaneously. This can be done with a multiple bar graph type meter. My Icom IC-7600 screen can dis...

2) split up the receivers, starting with display engine, and then moving to the internals of the console (lots of work, probably weeks and weeks if not months) 3) redo all control panels to be movable, and move away from forced spread out structure of UI especially problematic on large displays The...

Also, why does Thetis create a Thetis subdirectory in my Music folder? I delete it every time I notice it (it's always empty), and Thetis recreates it when it next starts up. Recordings made by Thetis are stored there. I have used the REC function from time to time, and Thetis (and I'm pretty sure ...

But I would like to retain the protection against accidentally transmitting out of band limits.

Let us focus on bugs and stuff... Okay, well I posted a couple pages back about what I think is a bug: TUN button won't tx close to the band edge The tune function errors out ("Transmit Error: Out of Band") when it would generate a signal closer to the band edge than the SSB (or AM, or DI...

TUN button won't tx close to the band edge The tune function errors out ("Transmit Error: Out of Band") when it would generate a signal closer to the band edge than the SSB (or AM, or DIGx) filter width. For example, if my VFO is set to 7.001 MHz and mode is CWL, I have to move to 7.003 t...

no worries Ernst. The cancel thing is far from ideal. I'm glad Ernst posted about the Cancel button problem. It's what I was trying to describe in my post on page 1, where I said The cancel button resets the entire database back to the end of the previous session, so all operating changes in the cu...

Very glad to have you back Richie! The Cancel button is setup dialogs does exactly what its tooltip says it does. (I'm about 1000 miles away from shack right now, traveling, so cannot run Thetis to quote the tooltip here.) The cancel button resets the entire database back to the end of the previous ...

FWIW: I was having lots of audio dropout problems on my 200D (Orion board of course). Applying the no-throttling registry fix previously mentioned eliminated all dropouts. Been operating for weeks (at RX1 sample rate 384k, RX2 sample rate 1536k) with not a single audible dropout.

Back in November 2020 I upgraded Thetis to 2.8.11. I noticed that when I turned RX2 on, I got lots of audio dropouts (analog audio from the front panel jack, not VAC audio) and red seq error indications. I first blamed it on 2.8.11 because that's when I first noticed the problem, but it turned out t...

How do you revert to a prior release of Windows? Tnx de Arnie W8DU Before rolling back my Windows version, I tried fiddling with some of the options available in Properties for my Ethernet adapter (Intel I219-V) driver. I don't know what most of the options are for, really, so I picked some (buffer...

Thanks Doug. When I did my "fiddling with some of the options available in Properties for my Ethernet adapter," I already tried everything in steps 1 through 3 in that Flex document, and the first 3 items in step 4. None made any difference. I didn't try of the last things in step 4, start...

Before rolling back my Windows version, I tried fiddling with some of the options available in Properties for my Ethernet adapter (Intel I219-V) driver. I don't know what most of the options are for, really, so I picked some (buffer sizes, energy options, jumbo packet...) that seemed like they might...

No version of PowerSDR or Thetis can break your firmware or hardware. There was no smiley for tongue-in-cheek, but that's how I meant my statement. Have your Windows 10 recently upgrade to v.2004 or v.20H2? If yes, that's your problem... I hadn't used RX2 in about a week. In between last use of RX2...

What happens if you go back to 2.7 now? Have you actually tried that? I hadn't, but I'm trying right now. I'm surprised to find the same glitches, actually much worse than yesterday. I don't understand. I've been using RX2 successfully, under these same setup and use conditions, for years. Did 2.8....

2.8.11 x64 200D Protocol 2 RX2 has audio glitches, like data gaps. They vary randomly. If severe, I can see them in the panadapter. Twice, during severe glitch episodes, I noticed red error text below the waterfall, but they disappeared before I could read them. The issue is also present in the x86 ...

I've bene running v2.7.0 (3/1/20) MW0LGE (a3) for months, and have never noticed any tx/rx status or antenna switch in the status bar. Now that I'm looking for it specifically, I still don't see it. And I don't find any reference to it in Lawrence G8NJJ's Thetis Manual. Where is it, exactly? What do...

I'm just curious: Why would one want RX2, with its separate antenna input, assigned to the same ADC as RX1?

What I am wondering is how do they??? keep track of these little issues that guy's are finding. It there a place to post issues discovered where someone is taking notes to "put it on the too do list"? The way I understand it, Richie takes care of all Theis issues during the winter months?...

Gary, I never intended to mean that absolute frequency accuracy has anything to do with FT mode performance. (As long as one is in an FT sub-band. ;) ) I was reporting what I did chronologically, and I did start out with a desire to check the absolute accuracy of my 200D. Maybe I should have left th...

Thanks, Bryan. I don't have a GPSDO. But I question what benefit it would have. If the remaining 0.2-Hz instability is coming from the reference oscillator in my 200D, it seems that it's plenty good enough for excellent FT mode performance. And, as you noted, I'm already lucky to have both oscillato...

TL;DR? Read the bold bits. Yesterday I got the idea to use WSJT-X’s FreqCal mode to do the frequency calibration on my 200D. WSJT’s FreqCal process is complex and goes through a variety of standard frequency stations to make a curve of needed offset vs. frequency. I wanted to just perform a simple ...

Today I was reminded of a bug that I occasionally encounter. While on SSB, I opened Setup to make a change. I decided not to make the change and dismissed the Setup window by clicking its Cancel button. When I did that, my TX profile changed. This issue was repeatable; that is, go back to the correc...

Thetis 2.7.0 a2. I wanted to reset my database for an unrelated problem, so I (1) saved my current working database, (2) reset the database, (3) imported the database I saved in step (1). When Thetis restarted from the database import, both receivers were dead. I eventually found that the Radio Mode...

Wow! Looks awesome. Thanks Richie, and welcome back.
