Re: Interfacing Thetis to N1MM?

Hi Scott, Nope, no luck. I even tried the same port you have. The N1MM log on the Andromeda shows nothing - it is empty. I also tried to turn the firewall off. I can ping the Andromeda from my shack computer, but the N1MM reports: "Flex5000 RX2 on COM 1001 is not responding" It is the late...

Re: Interfacing Thetis to N1MM?

Thanks, Scott, I think this is close to what I did, but I'll have to check tomorrow.
I have been trying to get an IPtoSerial configuration to use the CAT serial port configuration to work, but ran out of time.

Re: Interfacing Thetis to N1MM?

Well, I have not figured it out, so I'll ask someone smarter than me: 1. What radio do you set N1MM to? I tried TS-2000 and Flex) 2. Should the IP port in N1MM be set to the radio's (in my case Andromeda/Thetis) IP address and port? 3. I keep getting a port error. Do I need a serial port for CAT con...

Which firmware and Thetis versions are you running?

Re: New Andromeda now starting P1 instead of P2

Fortunately, the switch on the back of the radio. Check the firmware section of this forum for details and follow the instructions carefully. It a...

Re: Andromeda Initial Observations

I found a strange behaviour today. When I tried diversity only the outer rotary control worked. After that none of the buttons or any of the other rotary controls worked. I had to close Thetis and restart it in order to get control back. This is an interesting one since it could be either Thetis, fi...

My Andromeda is installed too well into my shack, so I can't get pictures on it, but it looks like this on the front:

I tried version D of the new firmware and while it appears to be working otherwise, the S-meter showed 20 dB lower than it should. After trying to re-calibrate it several times every 1 MHz from 2-30 MHz, it behaved rather strangely. When calibrated with -70 dBm at 3 MHz, the meter reading was 20 dB ...

Re: Font size and Thetis crash

I think this problem has been noted before. The correct way to change the font in Thetis is by going into Settings/General. No issues with that here. I'm running Windows 11 on one machine and RPi on another.
