I realize this may not be the answer you want, but you might also consider buying a GPS disciplined 10MHz reference oscillator. Leo Bodnar makes a reasonably priced one. The 7000 will automatically use the signal. The 10E's will have to have their internal jumpers configured to use it. Once you have...

This topic has been done to death. Short answer: If you make the right adjustments it should work perfectly, and better than ticking the "force" boxes. Adjustments are a little different for everyone. If that's too much trouble and you get the performance you want (stability and number of ...

Having 2 NICs is barely basic networking.

However, still waiting for the OP to describe his networking setup in more detail.

The radio is connected to the PC with a second Ethernet card, directly with nothing else connected. The problem occurs if I disconnect the LAN form the PC. The lan is a 192.169.1.xx LAN, connected to the WAN router. Please clarify: the "lockup" problem does not occur if the main LAN conne...

This seems like it could be an EMI/RFI problem. Is your PC bonded to the station ground? Are you using wired or wireless keyboard and mouse (wireless is more resistant).

Has it ever worked properly? If so, what changed?

Your situation is:

a) quite unusual in both speed and quality

b) accepting of significant performance limitations for IF bandwidth, audio latency and no PureSignal

If you are using RCforb and RDP it's less than 3Mbit/s. Actually running Thetis over the internet is impossible.

I don't have a Quadra, but a quick look at the manual shows that it does not support CAT, only the Yaesu 4 bit band data interface. So it would have to be a cable of some kind between the DE9 open collector outputs and the Quadra band data inputs.

Sometimes it's easier to search the forum than ask the question. But I searched it for you, how about that? ;) You can find the answer in this topic: https://community.apache-labs.com/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=4065&p=18294 If you have questions please post in the referenced topic. That way all N1...

In my experience it is very difficult to get a reliable remote connection to any radio over 4G cellular. And, if you do get it running, the user experience is not anything like being in front of the radio itself. This becomes many times more complex with a thick client architecture SDR like our radi...

Sam, It seems some people are buying USB or other cables that end up with a DCE pinout instead of the traditional DTE pinout associated with PCs. If this doesn't work: DE9 DB15 Pin 5 Pin 4 Ground Pin 2 Pin 1 TX 232 Pin 3 Pin 9 RX 232 Then simply try this: DE9 DB15 Pin 5 Pin 4 Ground Pin 2 Pin 9 TX 2...

Unfortunately, the current manual, while better than anything that came before it, still has many errors and omissions in it. In this case, it omits the VAC paths from the block diagram in question. Please forgive my crude scratchings: Capture.JPG VAC, by definition, has nothing whatsoever to do wit...

VAC ASIO is the lowest latency path if everything is perfectly optimized. It can beat the internal codec path by about 10 ms.

Consider the following wild conjecture, after looking at the link and watching the Youtube video (linked below). First and foremost, since the linearity measurements are most likely being made internal to the amplifier, only the PW2 can be linearized and not any part of the 7610 signal chain. One mi...

There are no settings or jumpers. If it's not working then it's a hardware fault. Is the internal fan operating? That fan and the external connector are wired in parallel. Also, if your 7000 MKII is old enough, it may have the original fan PWM controller. If so that might be throwing you off. This w...

It's a safe bet the value of R145 was not changed. Apache appeared to make the smallest number of changes possible associated with parts substitutions for obsolescence only.

The US service center is Doug, W5WC.

This is unfortunately interesting. The presence of interference on the CODEC mic input in both P1 and P2, and becoming worse with P2. Does anyone else see this? I cannot duplicate it on my 8000 running P2 here. Is it something unique to new 7000's that use the Orion MKIII? Obviously rev's A and B ar...

So the spur is strongly associated with mic boost. That implies that the CODEC IC on the Orion board is picking up some sort of noise on the mic input, and that the noise is worse with P2 firmware installed. In terms of potential noise producers in P2, there is the gigabit Ethernet rate increase tha...

This morning's test wasn't meant to be a thorough analysis. I wanted to determine if CESSB and CFC can coexist and not create excessive grunge of the kind that's been reported. In fact, most of the distortion heard results when COMP and CFC are engaged with default CFC values, without CESSB active....

Yes, I understood all that Brett. I just wanted us to agree that the spur was also present with P1, albeit at a much lower amplitude. With either P1 or P2, which ever is convenient, would you mind testing what switching mic boost on and off does to this spur? And also what switching to different mic...

This morning, I tried the CFC-CESSB settings as suggested in the latest Thetis operating manual. Following this advice, I found that harshness is greatly diminished whether or not CESSB is engaged. So, it's possible that some ops are not taking this advice because at least in my case, it does requi...

Have you tried versions A or B?

What is this spur that appears in your Protocol 1 screen shot? It's in all your screen shots, but not as evident in the P1 configuration.

I reinstalled the original protocol 1Firmware, it made ALOT of difference and the carrier was just barley there and could not be heard on the air...there are also Digital Audio artifact sounding echo's on the MIC audio that other stations can hear along with the Carrier. That spur (it's not a carri...

Joe, My 7000DLE has the embedded computer on the chassis, in the case. I realize the radio will not cause the embedded computer or maybe on your rig a desktop to not load independently. Now that we know you've got one of the 7000's with the internal PC, it's not entirely out of the realm of possibi...

No matter the method SSB is generated, the mathematical Hilbert transform creates overshoot with any complex wave, apart from a sine wave. Agreed. CESSB is simply controlling wasted peak overshoot as a result of the transform Agreed. -- something not capable with only look-ahead processing Respectf...

It sounds like your PC has suffered some sort of major failure. This certainly cannot be blamed on the radio. And of course the PC must be repaired before the help that was clearly offered in my previous post can be utilized. It is likely that once the PC is repaired (software, OS, or hardware repai...

These signals are visible world wide. They are subject to the same propagation effects as any other HF signal. Here is a probably incomplete and not up to date map of the installations using equipment produced by LDI: https://digisonde.com/ . There are certainly others, but the LDI equipment appears...

There is a link in the first post to a short YouTube video showing the signal.

Oops, missed that link

As others have already written, that's an ionosonde. You are not doing anything wrong and your 8000 is not broken.
