Re: VAC SIGNAL NOT STEADY

I started having problems too. Latency mon sees no problems. 2048 buffer size didn't change things. But dropping the Primary sample rate to 96000 did solve it. Recording the transmission could see half a dozen dropouts running FT8 on WSJT-X.

Re: ADC1 Overload

I didn't have the Stereo checked in PowerSDR. So PowerSdr seems to be summing for Mono also. If I change WSJT-X's audio to Left channel I see the 6dB drop. In Mono it goes back up 6dB. If I turn on Stereo in PowerSDR then both show 0dB for either Mono or Left in WSJT-X. i.e.no change. Does this soun...

Re: ADC1 Overload

What apparently is happening is that using only 1 channel only gives PowerSDR half-value data.
So...50W is as much as can be put out without overdriving the ADC,
Once I enabled 2-channel power output doubled.

Re: ADC1 Overload

I figured this out. I had the audio output channel in Windows set to 1-channel instead of 2. So I guess those two channels are added together instead of averaged. Not sure why one would need to do that in the digital realm but I guess some may be using analog connections? Even the I assume it's bein...

Re: ADC1 Overload

VSWR varies by band but typically around 1.2 on the bands using now.
I do have a receive only antenna on Rx 2. I'll test with that yanked out too but that shouldn't cause a change in output power level, should it?

Re: ADC1 Overload

Should have mentions I'm using FT8 right now so just 15-second intervals... No Pure Signal. ADC1 overloads with the combination of VAC1 TX Gain and Power Level from WSJT-X. So if I drop WSJT-X's power level and increase TX Gain I get the ADC1 indicator agai at the same power level. I assume when the...

ADC1 Overload

Running WSJT-X quite successfully for a long while on < 25W.
Been testing more power and find the most I can get is about 50W and then "ADC1 Overload" in red starts showing up.

Is this the 30W limit mentioned in the manual coming into effect?

Re: Low End Audio Noise

It's quite possibly noise from your computer.
Do you have any extra cards in the computer you can remove? Or maybe a different computer you can test?

I went through something similar with another user and he found a 2nd network card that was giving broadband noise in his computer.

I see the same thing on JT65. I ran a 2nd copy of WSJT-X and used the output of the 1st as the input for the 2nd copy. On there you can see the multitones and I believe I can see some FFT shoulders in there too. Seems the PowerSDR transmit FFT freq bin size is not adjustable. So all you see on the P...

Re: Poor JT65 performance using Anan8000DLE - help?!

What version of WSJT-X?
How do you have the audio set on the audio device and on WSJT-X? I've seen too many people do this incorrectly.

Unless you have identical audio levels coming into the audio devices and equal gain on them you aren't comparing apples to apples.

Re: JT65 DIGITAL SPLATTER

Looks like 1st one above is 120Hz and 2nd one is another 240Hz up.

So looks like 60Hz interference which presents itself as 120Hz.

Power supply, wall worts most likely culprits.

Start unplugging things...

Also make sure everything is common grounded too.

This link 'splains when you can set focus and mentions the "AllowSetForeground" function. But that would be N1MM allowing it. Perhaps PowerSDR could start the N1MM process and then it's more likely to work? It sounds like the SPI_GETFOREGROUNDLOCKTIMEOUT might be of interest too. Default v...

Re: FocusMaster with N1MM+ doesn't work for me

I took a look at the FocusMaster code. PowerSDR forces the N1MM+ window to foreground when N1MM+ sends a RadioInfo packet. So, you don't need N1MM to grab focus (it really shouldn't matter). But you do need N1MM+ to send RadioInfo packets. Under Config/Configure Ports.../Broadcast Data -- check the ...

Re: FocusMaster with N1MM+ doesn't work for me

Come to think of it the behavior you describe sounds correct. If PowerSDR is the active window you really wouldn't want something stealing focus while you're tuning. Maybe what you want is a "Using MIDI controller" checkbox to force it or perhaps PowerSDR could recognize it's getting comma...

Re: FocusMaster with N1MM+ doesn't work for me

You don't say what versions of N1MM+ or PowerSDR you are running. In the notes on 3.4.1 it mentions an incompatibility problem with N1MM that was fixed. So sounds like you may need to update PowerSDR and/or N1MM+ Seems that you should not need to set up N1MM+ for "grab focus" for PowerSDR....

Is there a new firmware for the 100 that will work with Thetis?
Or is there a main model target for the development effort?
