Re: Getting Feet Wet using a DAW?

I don't know much about Mixcraft. However, every DAW I've ever tried required Voicemeeter to be used as a patch panel because the DAW did not include virtual audio cable functionality. I recommend Voicemeeter because it can maintain ASIO interfaces between Thetis/PowerSDR and the DAW (Muzychenko VAC...

Re: Protocol 2 transmit questions

There is a small penalty, however, that results in a tiny transmit off-frequency phenomenon. My apologies, Bryan, but that is not a correct statement. This is only true for people who have not identified the correct VAC and resampler settings for their particular PC. Most people do not experience a...

Re: ALC with Amplifiers? No, and why. . .

It's not history, it's physics and math. The clipper style ALC in the legacy, Flex version of PowerSDR, which predates CESSB, negated the requirement for external ALC at the time of its introduction. If CESSB had anything to do with the requirement for external ALC then external ALC would be require...

Re: ALC with Amplifiers? No, and why. . .

CESSB and RF gain variations over frequency have nothing to do with the issue. And while gain of the openHPSDR design is nearly flat over frequency at the DAC output, RF gain varies just as badly as any other design in both the exciter board RF amplifier stage and the power RF amplifier stages. The ...

I'm not a developer, so my answers are based on general knowledge of the architecture, not the actual code. Sequencing is very important in TX to RX and RX to TX transitions. Many things must be accomplished before the DAC starts to drive RF output and many things must wait for RF output drive to st...

Re: How to update band name in VFO display?

As Leon says, the band labels are located in the database.xml file. There are a different set for each region. You'd have to find the definitions for the region you are set to and modify them. It's not terribly difficult. But if you ever have to reset your database you will have to go in and manuall...

What if we reversed them, then cut in a pad (attenuator) on the trace at the output of T9? How much does it need to come down?

I made the following drawing to assist in understanding this problem. If someone could check to see if I've got all the numbers correct, and if all the pads that are supposed to be ground really are ground, that would be great.

My point on checking pin 2 to see if it was grounded was simply to see IF the package was rotated 180 degrees, would the CT then be grounded like the schematic shows. I knew pin 2 wasn't used on the transformer itself. I will be removing and reinstalling the transformer in it's correct orientation ...

Rene, Are they really "backwards" from a functional standpoint? Looking at T2, the PCB layout you pictured implies Pin 1 going to C27 and Pin 3 going to C33, reversed from the schematic. However, if Pin 4 is ground, then it really doesn't matter. Is Pin 4 ground? And is Pin 2 also ground? ...

Re: 7000DLE MKII Black - IP Dissapears After A Few Seconds

What do you mean by "disappears"? What tool are you using to check the IP? If it is ping, you should know that neither Protocol 1 or Protocol 2 provides reliable ping responses. Chances are it was/is working just fine with DHCP, just not with ping.

Re: Power Output Woes (Largely solved)

Peter,

That's very interesting, to observe the same bug in PowerSDR as in Thetis when PowerSDR is set to "manual" and therefore to mimic Thetis.

Just a crazy idea: swap the frequency ranges assigned to the 17/15 and 12/10 filters. See what happens.

Or should I say when changing from 15metres to 12metres in PSDR there is no relay click heard whereas when changing from 12metres to 10 metres in PSDR a Click is heard.

Re: Power Output Woes (Largely solved)

I'm suspicious that Thetis may not be selecting the 10/12M LPF properly, possibly dependent on which revision RF board you have. If it's an early model 100D, does it have the older Rev 15/16 RF board? See here for a little more info and a pointer to the schematics: https://apache-labs.com/community/...
