It's a software limitation. There is plenty of network bandwidth.

New title and mission for this sub-forum

All, As of the date of this post, I have updated the name of this sub-forum to be more inclusive. This can now be the place to discuss and exchange ideas on all manner of control surfaces for Thetis and PowerSDR mRX. Control surfaces were, at one time, somewhat limited to MIDI controllers and variou...

Re: Thetis v2.9.0 - Updates and Issues

I agree with Paul. The CAT command language provided with Thetis is extraordinarily rich compared to other radios. Macro buttons are the way to make the software all things to all people. Then folks only need to complain about missing CAT commands (or how to write macros ;) ). A macro button facilit...

Re: TCI + fldigi + Thetis + log4om - they seem to fight each other

E.g. 14.070 USB , all three are in sync. I click on something, say at 2500 on the waterfall and hit QSY which should bring it to 14.071 with that signall centered, in my case, on 1500. The frequency change gets overridden by the other apps. This is also true if I just try and tune via fldigi direct...

Re: Thetis Macro(s)

You have not provided enough information to render an intelligent answer. Is SWR Plotter no longer communicating with Thetis at all? Is it issuing commands and controlling Thetis but not getting data back? What's going on, exactly? You are going to need to provide more detail instead of just "M...

"Fight each other" is not specific enough to really understand what is going on. If you elaborate on this a bit perhaps some better answers might be forthcoming. One thing is for certain: when attaching multiple software app's to Thetis, either by serial CAT, TCP/IP CAT, or TCP/IP TCI, it'...

Method of TX does not matter: PTT, MOX, VOX all produce the same results. Conditions t...

Re: WIdeband spurs

Mike--are you running PureSignal while doing this or not? If not, please try it that way just to get a little more data. Also try two-tone so we can see what that looks like.

It would be great if other people with 7000's would post some results for comparison purposes.

Re: WIdeband spurs

I always run in bypass (preselector off) and I never see any ADC overload indications. The preselector is only third order, it doesn't offer a ton of rejection. It's a moot point, anyway, since during TX the WB display is fed by the PureSignal feedback coupler if PS is turned on, and the PS feedback...

Something is badly wrong. None of those little spurs should be there. You should be seeing even numbered harmonics only. The ADC overload indication is also a bad one. What version of Thetis and what version of firmware are you running? I'm suspicious that the firmware is not closing timing properly...

Re: Can't adjust TX bandwidth using mouse

IIRC this used to work, and maybe still does in PowerSDR mRX. Doing this was no different than using the numeric controls. It does not currently work in Thetis.

Does that clear up any confusion?
