Re: piHPSDR CW issus on ANAN 2G with Front Panel

Hi Volker, @dl4zbg I think you found some bugs. I was able to replicate your issues and just checked in some fixes to my github repo. If you want to pull them in, do this from an xterm to the Pi CM4: cd /home/pi/github/pihpsdr make clean git pull make -j9 You should be able to run pihpsdr now and te...

Re: TAPR Hermes PCB

Hi Roger, If you open the unit up you might want to put a heatsink on the Ethernet Phy chip. It gets a lot warmer running at Gige. Also note that there are later versions of the P2 firmware. Check out this thread: https://community.apache-labs.com/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=3310 -Rick / N1GP

I submitted an Issue on Ramdor's github repo for this since Thetis
