Re: 7000DLE MKII black - Poor receive signal on ADC1 (RX2)

You might try to reload the firmware, but it's a longshot.

It could be a bad relay. It could be a bad cable or connector.

With the warranty period so close to expiring I'd recommend you contact the US repair operation ASAP.

Re: 8000DLE Diversity Setup

Single ADC hardware, like your ANAN-100, will not allow diversity to be used. Diversity (actually very poorly named, it's really two-element coherent beamforming) requires two separate data streams from two separate antennas at the same time. Even if the software did not check for the proper hardwar...

Re: Enable diversity using CAT

Scott, you mean that sync RX1 and RX2 is not necesary ? ( VFOA and VFOB) Correct. Logger send a orden to activate Diversity and another to deactivate, but I think that the Form is necesary to adjust phase and amplitude. Onece adjustes, really you don't need to touch it more for a sesion. True, but ...

Re: Enable diversity using CAT

You do not need to or want to invoke VFO sync as any part of diversity operations. Enabling diversity does everything it needs to do with RX2 automatically. I'd recommend you open the form using ZZDF first and last. Only enable/disable diversity using ZZDE with the form already open. Note: if you lo...

Re: Mystery switch at bottom panel of 10E

That is the "bootloader switch". In the normal position the 10E will boot up using the SDR firmware. In the bootloader position the 10E will boot up in "bootloader" mode, thereby allowing you to install new/different/upgraded firmware using the HPSDR Bootloader program on your PC...

Re: CAT refence manual

Yes, the Flex interface does not work because it is SmartSDR-specific, not the old legacy PowerSDR Flex interface.

What functionality is still missing from the development version at this time? Knowing that will help direct you.

That guide is correct. Thetis is the same as PowerSDR for most basic commands. Thetis has a large number of commands that have been added since that guide was published, however it very unlikely any of those commands will be necessary for DXlog. DXlog should work in a basic fashion with Kenwood TS-2...

Then after that, again ideally, if you set the slider to 50 you'd get 50W (or 5W if you are using one of the 10W units like the ANAN-1...

Re: Thetis - Band Stack Editing

Your MX Anywhere should have wheel click. And it also has Hyperscroll. Have you loaded the Logitech control software? Using that you should be able to define if the wheel click is for "center" click (which is what you want), or to switch in and out of "precise" mode.
