Yes.

Just in case it wasn't clear from Rob's description, my preference is to use the shielded, two conductor professional microphone cable and bond MIC- and SHIELD at both ends, not just at one end.

I've worked up an outline design with Doug and Warren for a client/server split in Thetis. That's great, Laurence! It is a monstrous amount of effort - probably a person-year of full time work. Done part time in evenings, potentially several years. There is something like 600 function calls that ne...

Welcome to the wonderful world of ham radio open source development, Leon. It is such a small and highly specialized world that it is a rare thing indeed to find any developers at all. We have been extremely lucky to obtain what we have. IMHO I'd rather see a dev. tackle a true client/server split o...

Gents: going to move this thread to the amplifier sub-forum...

Bob, The 9 pin connector on the back of the ANAN hardware is not a serial port or USB port. It carries the open collector outputs which, with appropriate external circuitry, and be used to control things like switches. If you attach that port to something like another serial port or attach a USB-to-...

My understanding is they are shipping with P1 firmware, but someone who is a recent recipient will have to confirm.

Thetis (and PowerSDR before it), along with the firmware used to run the ANAN hardware, comprises a so-called "thick client" architecture. In this architecture radio functionality is split between the hardware unit and the supporting computer, with bulk of the data processing performed by ...

I believe the mic default setting is "Tip". Please confirm that's what you are set to. I also believe that the PTT "Off" setting is incorrectly labeled. Referring to the Orion MKII schematic, there are only two possible hardware states for PTT, Tip or Ring. Thus setting PTT to &q...

Wow that's crazy. It makes no sense. ❓❓❓

So I learned an expensive lesson don't hot swap condenser mic ! Seriously? That should not be a problem. The maximum bias output of the TLV320AIC23B CODEC is 3ma. There is a 3.3K series resistor on the output circuit that would limit the 2.75V bias voltage (3/4 of the 3.3V supply voltage to the COD...

One other issue: further development on PowerSDR mRX may have come to an end with the advent of Protocol 1 support in Thetis.

Thetis has some major functional differences: - First and foremost, it supports Protocol 2 firmware. Protocol 2 firmware supports 768KHz and 1.536MHz IF sample rates, and the use of those sample rates is unrestricted i.e. PureSignal can be used with them and Diversity as well. - However, Thetis also...

@John-G0ORX are the above URLs still good? Do they respect the latest versions now that the Controller V2 is available?

Hi Erik, Thanks for starting this topic. It will no doubt be useful as more people receive Controller V2 units. You can blame me for the software-centric organization of the forum ;) piHPSDR effectively is the controller. Hardware specific differences between piHPSDR controllers are generally minor....

I've read the manual and the two posted comments at the top of the microphone section of the Apache Labs forum This would appear to be your only posting in the microphone section, Mark. but want to know what others are doing for a microphone before venturing off to experiment with different setups....

They should all support it with an external coupler.

Certainly. For me VSPM has often caused an inability to make a virtual serial port connection without having to reboot. It will work for a while, then just stop. To add insult to injury, when combined with DDUtil this problem had persisted for me across reboots. All honor to Steve, and I love what h...

@laurencebarker I just looked at your manual. Section 7.4 would benefit from some expansion. Note the hot links below for the URLs... I do not recommend the Eltima product because it is far too expensive. I never mention it in any of my responses. The Eterlogic (note spelling) product, VSPE, is what...

USB ports don't count as COM ports unless you have an RS-232--to-USB adapter plugged in. But you don't need that. Voicemeeter provides only virtual audio connections, no virtual serial COM connections, so while you do need Voicemeeter, it has nothing to do with CAT connections, only audio. What you ...

Just launched: https://voicemeeter.com/

They are starting to collect a lot of user guides and tutorials there.

The only reason this should happen is if you have no COM ports installed, real or virtual.

There is a US service facility. It is run by Doug, W5WC. Doug always provides excellent service. The most important thing you need to understand when you buy something from Apache Labs is that you are only buying hardware. The firmware that makes the hardware run, and the software which runs on your...

Geoff--I've split this discussion off of the main Thetis 2.8.11 thread because, with your last post, it is now clear that this is really a discussion of digital mode and logging software interfacing and not a Thetis issue per se. So we can continue this discussion in the separate sub-forum that exis...

@G3NPI Geoff, your understanding is correct, but there is no facility to transmit associated with RX2. Why not just use RX1 with your digi modes? Why the fixation on RX2?

Using an external (analog) antenna phasing unit with two antennas, I get a single display on my non-Anan system that utilizes an early variant derived from PSDR for Pan / Waterfall display. With only a single receiver the single view I get is, I would say a composite of what the two antennas are pr...

Not when using Diversity. Diversity essentially forms a single, composite receiver. You can look at each one in turn, but not both at the same time when using Diversity.

When not using Diversity you can, of course, see both at the same time, like this:

The original embodiment of the original 7000 fan controller, which is located on the PA/filter board, can be found here: https://apache-labs.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=2682&p=4660 I can only guess, but it would appear that the factory went away from that approach in order to eliminat...

Perfect!

Use the 2i2. Do you have a pair of studio monitors you can plug into it for receive?
