I believe we would need to know the file names in the skin associated with the various panels that can be displayed in the Andromeda display mode. Once that is known it is very simple to create and then add the console panel pieces to duplicate what is shown in the rest of the GUI skin. I glanced at...

Enzo, Follow the update directions written by Richie (MW0LGE) in the very first post of the Thetis forum at the link below. Richie has provided download links for the official version of 2.6.9 and also the zip archive file pack that moves it to the 2.7.0 version by overwriting 6 of the files of your...

Hi Enzo, Scott covered this pretty well already, but a couple of weeks ago I started playing around with some of the un-docked panels available with the collapsed mode "Andromeda" interface and really liked it. With the limited real estate of my little 22" monitor I can't fit everythi...

That button already exists Dave. On the rare occasion when you need to reset the database first export the current database so it can be restored if possible, and then press the reset database button and a fresh database will be installed. To be honest, I don't think I have ever reset the database w...

In Thetis or PowerSDR mRX PS, look at the Ant/Filters tab in the menu settings and on the right side you will see a checkbox for the "BYPASS on TX" setting. That will direct the ANAN to listen on that port while transmitting.

Yes, this is the preferred way to set things up when you are using an external linear amplifier. Pure signal will then be correcting your entire transmit chain which produces the most optimal result. My RF Sampler is an Xtronic X-DC1 which attenuates the sample by -43dB and I am currently using a fi...

Laurence, After browsing through the Thetis manual you put together, all I can say is "Wow!" It's already been said here, but the amount of work you put into this project is very evident. The first item I browsed to was the section regarding the Andromeda controls. There's a whole lot more...

Hi Roger, Your 100D is capable of doing everything that the newest ANAN radios can do, so no worries about an end-of-life scenario. The development of the PowerSDR mRX PS software has given way to the development of Thetis, which is a more evolved software platform at this point in time. It runs at ...

Larry, At this time it is pretty much the way it is across the board with all the different ANAN hardware using the P2 platform. It's my understanding that the assortment of firmware versions you see out there for your 7000 are compiled with slightly different thermal compensation and timing setting...

Hi Larry, I watched the video and thanks for displaying all the setup screens as well as verbally describing what is happening. I believe that since you are not using an external sampler, you need to make one correction on the transmit tab. Uncheck the Bypass on TX box. What is happening now is that...

Hi Bob, Sorry that the LAN group classification is not the problem. That would have been an easy fix! I am not aware of any undocumented releases of the ANAN 200D. As far as I know all that is out there is the REV 15, REV 16, and REV 24 versions of the 200D. The REV 15/16 versions are very similar a...

Tony, I am running Windows 7 so my first-hand information is limited to that operating system. I visited the article at the link below and followed the instructions given there to change the network classification: https://www.online-tech-tips.com/windows-10/change-from-public-to-private-network-in-...

Mike, I believe that the TX multimeter only remembers the meter function you select while the radio is in transmit mode. Try making your selection for the TX meter while the ANAN is keyed.

Hi Bob, I have been pondering the install problem you are experiencing and I had a thought regarding what can happen with the Windows firewall if the port you are connected to the ANAN with is classified as a Public connection. If so, the firewall might allow files to be written to the Program Files...

Hey, good for you for warming up the soldering iron Perry! Glad you fixed it! That Q effect on AM/SAM when narrowing the filter by sliding one edge in the panadapter has always been there, going back to the Flex version of PowerSDR. I believe it happens because you are bringing the very sharp/steep ...

You definitely have not missed anything regarding this. The thick-paint problem creating an issue with bonding between the case, front panel, rear panel, and internal shield has been around since the first ANAN showed up. There are some very good tips for easily correcting the problem here: http://a...

Hi John, I'm not sure how closely you looked at the firewall but Tony is correct that this is an acknowledged issue with the Windows firewall making duplicate rules that will block the "ack" confirmation handshake with SDR Console shortly after the program is started. When I encountered th...

Hi Mark, Reducing the filter width by dragging the filter edge causes a narrowing Q effect on reception, whereas, the phase cancellation method implemented by Warren in both PSDR mRX and Thetis causes very little change in the recovered audio. In fact, other than a slight click when going from both ...

The only person I have spoken with on the air who has actually built an AM stereo transmitter that he uses on 75 meters is Jerry - WA2FNQ. I believe he used the Magnovox system to generate the signal. Unfortunately, the biggest stumbling block seems to be the lack of receivers that can detect AM ste...

LOL, yes I have heard similar comments with a lot of different elements of voice processing. I think if too much of anything is applied the natural sound of a person's voice is lost. There is no question that over-emphasis of certain areas of the voice range with the EQ can make things unpleasant an...

Juha,

The CFC Audio Tools built into PSDR mRX PS and Thetis has an excellent phase rotator. It does a fine job of removing asymmetry in your voice to allow maximizing your average power output.

See:

I'd start by taking a look at the 2n7002 FET used in the PTT circuit Perry. I believe it's in close proximity to J11 but that's reaching pretty far back in a dim area of my brain! Then look around it for other damage. I sent you an email with an attachment that might be helpful if you do a search in...

Hi Scott, Yes indeed, this morning I "discovered" that it works perfectly. It was totally user error on my part due to my assumption that it would work with the EXT ports. From the statements by Gary, Dave, and you in the thread, it took about 10 seconds to discover that it does work as in...

Dave, Scott, and Gary, I'm not sure whether the Rx Ant button at the top of the GUI is hooked into anything in Thetis. I've never found a way to "engage" it with any Rx Ant configuration that I use. If I click on it, the button does not respond at all and the "Active" button stat...

Hi Erik, Is it possible that the screen resolution settings are using something other than the default font size? As I recall the message you are seeing is one of many that shows up when the setting is moved from the default 100% setting. Not sure about Windows 10 but in Windows 7 this setting can b...

Hi Perry,

I think I read that some have found that in the options tab of the menu the "Enable Shortcuts" option was changed to unchecked after they installed the update. Might be worth looking to see if yours was toggled to the unchecked state. Hope it's that simple!

Leon,

It should run fine with your 7000 but it will only work with protocol 1 firmware.

73, Rob W1AEX

Did you ever find a solution to this problem? I believe I have the same issue, Also on an Anan 100. Thanks. W9SIX Yes, this problem was resolved by Doug W5WC who as I recall found that the ethernet PHY chip had failed. Doug got my friend's ANAN-100 back to him very quickly and it has been running f...

The best place to start would be to read through the 3 sticky posts at the top of this section of the forum: https://apache-labs.com/community/viewforum.php?f=18 Then read through the firmware list for your 7000 MKII here. It will be a matter of trial and error to determine which firmware release wo...

Ben These might be more of a "low-end product" than you desire, but I use a pair of Bose Companion Series II computer speakers that cost me $79 (U.S.) on sale. They sound very clean with surprising low end reproduction and appear to have adequate RF filtering to not be a problem while tran...
