yes, but the take away from the code is that User ADC0 is being used to display the PA voltage (commented as AIN3 in the code) and uses bytes 57+58 from the HPSP. Bytes 49+50 which are defined as Supply Volts (whatever AIN that is I do not know as it is not commented in the code, probably 6?) is no...

I know that, Sigi, but I was trying to be a "glass is half full" kind of person, as opposed to "half empty"

The point being that someone coming over to Thetis from PowerSDR and still running P1 probably would not notice that difference.

It's a little bit of chalk and cheese going on here, Richie, I think. AIN3 is the 12VDC power measured at the input to the PA, on the PA board. It's measured after it comes out of the ACS713 current measurement IC. The 12VDC is processed through an LM358. I haven't checked the gain of that circuit v...

The answer is "No". There is an option in Setup > General > Ant/Filters > Antenna, "Gnd BPF2 on Tx", but that's it. If you are concerned there are a number of commercially available RF limiters out there. Just Google "rf limiter", or put "rf limiter" into eBay...

Thetis perfers 2 and of course PSDR works on 1.] You can run Thetis also with prot. 1 at a reduced samplerate of course. There is no need to load prot. 2 right now to work with Thetis. That's a good point, Sigi. And it is arguably not a "reduced samplerate" compared to PowerSDR mRX. Power...

Scott, First I'll apologize - I figured knowing you from your presence here it would be there - SOMEWHERE... but I have to be honest also and say I'm overwhelmed by SO much information. There isn't a clear presentation of the important stuff - there are so many threads that proclaim releases and up...

Not being content to leave "good enough" alone, an upgrade to Protocol 2 was done using HPSDRBootloader v2.0.4.4. What version of Protocol 2 firmware did you load? 1) As shipped, the radio had the bootloader switch in the ON position. <----- Is this expected?? No, but it's not relevant to...

I don't have a 7000, but if you look at the following Orion MKII schematic snippets you can see the 12VDC is sent to a voltage divider, the output of which is limited by a zener diode, then sent to an 8 channel ADC. You'd have to put a scope on the 5V analog voltage reference input to the ADC to see...

Being anal as hell is good at times - and is a real pita at other times... Gary--for someone so "anal" you don't seem to find and read the important and obvious topics on the forum, at least not very thoroughly. so - the only thread I see that seems to have the full install is one dated 2...

Oh yeah, that's the dreaded Orion MK II "brick me now" jumper! If it's set wrong and you try to program new firmware it'll brick the bootloader.

Good to know it has no function on the Orion.

I'd be very careful. Remember the batch of 7000's that got bricked because of the misplaced memory select jumper at the factory.

That this is normal behavior is all I know. Not sure why it works that way

Unfortunately, from what I can see, the Altera Cyclone 4 datasheet does not give any information about pin functions. How could it? They are wholly defined by firmware. Perhaps someone knows off the top of their head. If not, then the above fact will be the secret to determining the function of J14...

Ernst,

What paid-for options did you find necessary?

Does it have the built-in capability to send strings to COM or IP ports?

73,

Scott

Dick, The "Controller" is a Raspberry Pi with a touch screen and some knobs and switches running the piHPSDR thick client software under the Raspbian Linux operating system. Thus it has all the same issues associated with any thick client architecture, the same as Thetis/Windows, or PowerS...

Removing it might be the best thing to do. There are plenty of other tools to measure CPU consumption: Task Manager and ResMon are built into Windows, and Process Explorer is an easy addition. All three will give different results, though

Richie--will the CPU display be made to default to "system" in the upcoming production release?

Ernst: how much money do they want for all of the upgrade features?

PowerSDR mRX and Thetis will happily coexist on the same PC without doing anything special. They store everything in different locations. If you are running Protocol 1 firmware you can bounce back and forth between them like the wind, just don't try to run them at the same time. If you are running P...

Not sure exactly how many hours, but station has been running non-stop for somewhere between 24 and 36 hours. No SEQ errors. An inconsequential number of VAC under/overruns (less than 10). 21K9, running real-time priority on Thetis, dedicated NIC, NIC metric favors dedicated NIC, network throttle in...

See here:

Quick attenuate response option added in PS Advanced linearity window. When selected feedback level is sampled at 20ms instead of 100ms

ADC overload messages are not an indicator of a bug, but rather system configuration or station configuration issues.

@ON7WP

Start a new topic in the Digital (Virtual) Audio sub-forum, please, and we'll sort it out there rather than clog up the tutorial topic.

Richie--probably too late for the impending release, but a simple option to simply turn off SEQ error reporting might be worth it. If someone was having audible artifacts they could turn it on to see how bad bad is.

Richard--first, read this topic. It was written for PowerSDR, but it still applies to Thetis and all of the different ANAN models: https://apache-labs.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=2644 So for diversity (really beamforming) you need: Your primary antenna connected to ANT1 (or 2 or 3) feeding...

Rick, Your math is exactly correct, just like everything else in this topic so far. Well done! One tiny mistake: it's a 5dB attenuator, not a 5dBm attenuator ;) And the answer is, yes you can exceed the maximum safe input level. If you don't have the schematics of the 7000, you can just look at the ...

AFAIK not yet. It will be announced on this forum when it is available.

My apologies, my website is down, the server had a major hardware failure, spare parts will not arrive until Monday.

AFAIK, there is no way to display internal temperatures.

The posting that Gary referred you to is an old one, and deals specifically with how the preselector functionality works in PowerSDR with Protocol 1 firmware. It is not at all applicable to Thetis and Protocol 2, which works differently. As the old post discussed, behavior of the preselector was som...
