Yes, I've been using a dedicated Ethernet card/connection since I first got the rig. Also static IP address.

For the moment I'm blaming Windows and its Ethernet driver. I'm hoping when I upgrade my PC it'll solve the problem (currently using an i7 4000-series PC).

I see this too. It's certainly not just a panadapter artifact since you can hear it on the transmitted signal with an external receiver. Tuned away from the carrier beyond the passband it sounds like clicks. It went away entirely after the "throttling" adjustment. Now it comes back randoml...

WANTWISH The automatic adjustment of the display floor by background noise ("Adjust Min to Noise Floor") works quite well; I use it a lot. But when there are static crashes present, which are increasing as summer approaches, the crashes cause the display to constantly try to keep up, adjus...

1) More space on GUI to add more buttons

I wonder if everybody knows or remembers this GUI action (so it's probably worth mentioning):

Many controls on the main console can be right-clicked to bring you directly to the proper setup tab, making many of these changes easy.

I may be wrong, but I doubt anyone could 100% predict all possible actions on the database. You're not wrong, Scott. The DB handling code (import and export) is fairly robust against broken records of all sorts. But it won't find and correct more complicated things like incompatible settings that s...

If this is needed, then the software needs changing so you don't have to do this. We could do wit a definitive list of things that don't get re-imported, so they can be included. I have not spent any time looking at this tbh. I agree. The merge process you outlined above after "What does the m...

Richie, My most common procedure is the same as Mark's. In fact, I have a Tune button on the MIDI controller, right next to a drive level knob. Bottom line, I use Tune to get ready to operate. Eliminating the link between Tune and Drive would add complexity. Keep both sliders without eliminating the...

Gary, First let me echo Scott's sentiment about leading edge, sometimes jokingly called the bleeding edge for good reasons. The extra effort put into understanding the operation of Thetis and other pieces of software has rewarded me with the most advanced, feature-rich, and customizable radio I've s...

And yet CW is where low latency is most needed. No argument, Scott. But I find that in using audio direct from the radio I have no noticeable latency on CW, which is quite important especially operating QSK. At reasonably high speed the audio effects with the low latency filter is objectionable eno...

The effect is quite noticeable on CW. It was discussed here.

*** another test release, 21k9pre7 Richie - Switching from AM/SAM or any SSB or CW mode into DIGU/L is still slow, as before (~3 sec). Other mode transitions are fast, including going from DIGU/L back to SAM/AM or SSB/CW. Note: my DSP options are identical between Digital and phone/CW modes. The on...

Slight modification to my earlier observation on mode switch speed. In Pre6 almost all switches of band/mode combinations are fast now - except for AM/SAM to DIGU/L caused by a band change. That is still nearly a 3-second delay. Switching from AM/SAM to DIGU/L within the same band appears to be fast...

Pre6 running fine here so far. I had been seeing a 3-sec delay going from SSB on one band to DIGU on another band. Strangely, I wasn't noticing the same behavior when switching modes within the same band stack position. Mode switches are very fast now no matter the start or end point bands or modes.

Thanks, Gary - it pays to read.

This is probably an easy one to fix and is easily repeatable. Running k9 second (most recent as of this writing). Run Thetis using VAC1 (say, for FT8). Turn Mute on, then close Thetis. On restarting, Thetis correctly comes up with Mute on, but VAC1 is also muted. If you then cycle Mute off and back ...

" 21k7 change: adjusting an RX1/2 AF slider will turn remove MUT if muted" Richie, I request that this change be reverted, or that this functionality be made optional with a checkbox. (Where to put this checkbox? Maybe Setup > General > Options > Options-1 > Miscellaneous. Or Options-2.) ...

Some of us have thought about this for a while, Ron. I'd love to have QSK be silent like it is on the two amplifiers I have that use PIN diodes. In the 8000DLE there are two relays involved, one is an EE2-12NU-L (receive path) and the other is 277-4907-ND (transmit path). They are both on the PS and...

Do you have network watchdog timer (WDT) turned off Chris? network.c has some issues when this is turned off. Mainly due to the fact that it waits for winsock events indefinitely. It does need to be re-worked at some point, but not something I want to get involved with really. Richie. Richie, Yes, ...

This is relatively minor but easily repeatable. On my 8000DLE running Protocol 2, if I power down the radio before stopping Thetis (usually inadvertently), Thetis then hangs, unresponsive, requiring its process to be killed to stop it.

Richie, This isn't high priority but may be easy to implement and would enhance panadapter use. For certain zoom levels, including the one I mostly use which is roughly 180-200 kHz wide, the frequency grid lines are 4kHz apart - an awkward size for quickly seeing a signal's frequency. There is a wid...

Yeah, it's pretty strange, but W1JA, with whom I've been comparing settings to try to chase this down, doesn't hear the effect (but was hearing it months ago, and dating back to the PowerSDR times). In fact, now he reports sometimes hearing the opposite effect (louder on AM modes). So we'll continue...

Richie - a minor CTUN-related bug: Start in CTUN, with a Panafall display Tune the VFO off center somewhere, note the frequency, display edges, and mode. Switch the display to Scope. Change mode to a different mode. -->The VFO changes to the frequency at the center of the Panafall, and the display e...

Yes I read it. I was hoping for a solution more to the point than compensating with gain. I actually tried doing that in the code myself and it works fine as an easy fix. Simply apply the 6db when coming into AM/SAM and remove when coming out. However, not everyone sees this behavior and fixing it t...

Yes, I saw that too, Scott. But since the same behavior - different audio levels on SSB vs AM - happens whether it's switched in or out, I'm still puzzled. The carrier's effect on AGC action is understandable and seems correct. But when I similarly switch between AM and SSB on an analog rig (my FT-1...

A bit more on this on closer observation. I tried it again this morning and observed something different. With Fade Leveler on, switching from LSB into AM, the difference *initially* is much less, not entirely gone (close enough that it seemed equal last time with a quicker listen). Then, over a per...

Are you sure, Chris? It makes no difference for me whether the fade leveler is on or off. Note that the default is on, AFAIK. Yes - quite surprising. Mine was off. I was led to this by comparing settings with John, W1JA, who was not noticing the difference in audio level. Sure enough, I checked the...

Returning to the topic of an audio difference between AM and SSB when monitoring an AM station (this earlier item: https://apache-labs.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=3861&start=90#p166360) ... Apparently, if you check "Fade Leveler" in the DSP->AM/SAM tab, the difference in audi...

Richie - Here's another issue that I think is associated with the new capability of adjusting the passband while in CTUN mode. Start out in the panadapter mode without the big crosshairs (i.e. don't right click in the display). When you hover over the passband (not the edges), the cursor changes fro...

Richie - This morning I noticed a problem with dragging receiver passband (filter) edges: When you drag the upper or lower passband edge, the filter selection changes to Var 1 as it should. But in doing so it applies whatever was previously in Var 1 for the *other* edge, which it shouldn't do. For e...

As I suspected. Thanks for the additional info, Scott. I actually experimented with simply boosting the audio in AM modes, using 3dB instead of the 6 you measured. It worked, sort of. But doing this introduces a different problem. If you simply boost audio on AM then when a signal is present you'll ...
