I think I found a fix for needing RX1 & RX2 at the same sample rate. This is working pretty stable on my ANAN-10 with different sample rates and PS locking nicely, please give it a try: https://www.dropbox.com/s/6v4pu329lkw9vxz/Hermes_Protocol_2_v10.8.22.rbf?dl=0 Tnx, Rick - N1GP

Rob,

Tnx for the update. It's looking good on your budget analyzer

-Rick / N1GP

Phil,

Tnx fer checking these out. I'll keep working on it. Maybe some day there'll be a version
that works on all the 200D's.

Rob - W1AEX and my 200D seem fine with 1.9.15, versions previous though would work on
mine and not his. Many versions

That's great news Norbert. Tnx for testing that out.

I notice in your signature you have a 7000 as well. Have you, or could you
also test your 7000 to check how clean the TX spectrum is with the latest
firmware?

Hi Norbert, I don't have a very good spectrum analyzer, I use an SDRPlay RSP with a spectrum analyzer app. Seems OK. I cannot reproduce your images with it though on my Angelia board. Both FW version look pretty much The same. However I did do some analysis of the v12.1_pre4 source code and the v12....

Hey All. Phil, sorry to hear about your 200D. I hope you can get someone to look at it. I can confirm I was seeing hash on the spectrum with 1.9.15 and 1.9.16: ScreenShot-17.jpg Better with v1.9.17: ScreenShot-18.jpg I have a new 200D FW image for you all to try. I tried to make timings as close to ...

Hi Dave,

Are you seeing SEQ errors in Thetis using FW 1.9.15 or 1.9.16 ?

-Rick / N1GP

Hi Phil, The P1 firmware sent each Alex change twice. The current P2 FW only once. Maybe there was a bug with the v16 of the Alex PA? Anyway I made a change to send twice also in this P2 FW. Could you have your friend try this to see if it doesn't have the PTT issues?: https://www.dropbox.com/s/tdmk...

OK, for the faint of heart here's the latest 7/8000 FW image:

Phil,

Sorry about that, I'm also working on the 200D and 7/8000 FW.

Here's the latest 200D:

Hi Phil, Not much to help with your Thetis problem, but I've been working on the 100D firmware. I found some areas to improve, ICMP, DHCP, thermal stability, and most importantly reducing the SEQ errors. Could you please give this FW a try: https://www.dropbox.com/s/kbx73c6xby8s9v9/Angelia_Protocol_...

There is a manual here: https://github.com/g0orx/linhpsdr/blob/master/documentation/linhpsdr-user.pdf Also there is a recent manual for the Hermes-Lite2, the PA calibration section has a bit more info than the ANAN manual: https://github.com/m5evt/linhpsdr/blob/master/documentation/linhpsdr_hl2.pdf ...

I've been able to get Thetis v2.6.7 to work under Debian Buster (release 10), wine-6.0 Clicking on buttons sometimes requires double hitting or just holding a bit longer. I wasn't able to install any higher version of Thetis due to dependencies for graphics and such. BTW I have not tested this very ...

Hi Luca,

Here is a QAR file for the bootloader FPGA code on the Orion2:

Perhaps this will help you figure out the changes you need.

Hi Luca,

It is normal with the latest P2 firmware.

There may be some used in earlier P2 versions, but when there was a lot of development/debugging
going on.

Hello,

It's been a while since I've touched this code, but this is the latest I have circa pre4:

Tnx agn for the reports. @VK3AMP When i change it to 384khz it still seems to be working but the panadapter seems to slow down also the tx bandwidth seems to spill over the passband. Another observation was when monitoring the ethernet utilisation at 192khz the bandwidth doubles when i turn on PS wh...

Tnx for the feedback. I see why the ADC2 error is happening, fixed. Also fixed a problem that would cause no PS to work. This may take a bit going back and forth since I don't have a 14bit Hermes. Appreciate the help. https://www.dropbox.com/s/33pr7xch76p0bkc/Hermes_14bit_P2_v10.4_pre2.rbf?dl=0 -Ric...

Hello All, Some of you may have missed that in pre20 I had to fix the sample rate of RX2 to RX1 even though you can still change RX2 SR in Thetis it takes no effect in the firmware. So Thetis will be confused. Hence broken audio. I have been working on fixing the problem of allowing RX1 and RX2 to h...

Thanks Andy!

And thanks to everyone who helped test this.

Hello All, I have been working on the Hermes 16bit firmware in attempts to improve the Pure Signal reliability. Seems that the latest FW is working. See this thread: https://apache-labs.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=3310 So I decided to merge my changes from that in to the Hermes 14bit FW. ...

Tnx Everyone for the updates. Daniel, your results look alot like mine and some others when the Hermes has not warmed up. Just curious what that state is. This update FW I attempted to change timings such that it would compile the FW to work with a cooler FPGA temperature range. I did let my ANAN-10...

Hey Folks, pre18 was fixed at 192K BW. Yes, I notice the PS instability and big IMD before the unit warms up. My ANAN-10 will correct and reduce IMD up to 6M when it is running ~36C I'll have to pull the unit apart and try to isolate with some freeze spray. If you are seeing this behaviour and have ...

Tnx All for your reports. The spectral information is very important while trying to figure out this PS issue. So I have gone back to the _pre9 FW and applied the changes which seemed to help PS be more resilient while not introducing the spectral impurities. I have NOT yet tried to isolate where/wh...

@Daniel DL7GT Tnx for the detail on the FW test versions. The harmonics and SWR issues are probably very influential on PS. I do not know from your post if any of the previous version of Protocol 2 have worked for you. It seems that _pre9 was clean, does that mean it was working with PS? Tnx, -Rick ...

Hello Andy, Jorge, Arno, All, Here is the latest. I have made multiple changes in this version. I'll describe them if this proves to work for you. NOTE: this version is fixed at 192K bandwidth so both RX1 & RX2 should be set to 192K. Also, I notice that when the ANAN-10 is cold (power-up) the PS...

Hey Andy & All, Yes, this ANAN-10 of mine is a sick little monkey. Yesterday I thought I had great success with finding that bug. I really did test it all afternoon with NO dropouts. This morning I powered it up and tried your experiment of "testing 1 2 3" / PTT and it failed right awa...

Hi All, Here's an update. I actually found a bug. I wasn't using the proper muxing bit to switch between the ADC and DAC. Though this tests well on my ANAN-10 I still wonder about the signal delay you guys have when going through the LPF stages of your amps. I cannot simulate that here. It would be ...
