Re: DX Doubler (DXD Top Ten)

Do you mean making cables? Because according to the manual the only software interface is between the DXD device and N1MM.

Do you already have Thetis interfaced to N1MM? Because I'm guessing that is also required, and for the 7610 as well.

Re: Thetis and TRX-Duo works

There is no such thing as an ANAN-7000MKIII. Unfortunately this is what people are calling the latest production units of the 7000MKII because these units contain a new revision of the Orion board called the Orion MKIII, which is also an unfortunate and confusing naming choice.

Re: Thetis and TRX-Duo works

While it would be convenient to gain control of an LPF via onboard digital IO signals, this is by no means a showstopper. There are plenty of serial CAT band decoder designs out there already that can be used to drive an LPF board in an automated fashion. Or, if you were thinking about the merely be...

Hi Scott, The measurements were after the calibration of the S-meter. I think my stand-alone 7000 DLE shows -124 dBm, but it is a while since I checked it out.

Re: Possible New User Of 7000 DLE - Some Questions

I don't know who can make you a cable. Perhaps others do. It's a problem whether you are using the 7000 or 8000.

You can avoid the problem by changing to a microphone and speaker or headphones that you plug into your PC, but if you have your heart set on using the Pro 7 then a cable you will need.

Adding a serial port is trivial. Simply purchase a USB serial port adapter. Typically $10 on Amazon. Or, IMHO better, buy a serial device server.

Bottom line up front: you will have no problem interfacing your Elecraft gear. You will need a new cable for your Heil headset. As you think about how to integrate your existing gear with the new radio, remember that the 7000 is not really a radio by itself. Most of the radio is in the PC software, ...

And how exactly can that be done? I see zero options for changing font or font size in Thetis.
