Richie, It really is great you are back, I really appreciate your work and look forward to the updates. I have some of my own items that I have coded into my Thetis version but very limited and usually wait until the source is posted so I can adjust for my use. Here are the two items if possible for...

Thank you Scott,

Very in depth! A lot to take in.

Thanks

Sorry I missed your response Scott.

Warren, thanks for your explanation, I am probably getting by with this setting because I am running a pc build with a 5950 cpu. I was just planning to make the setting changes you mentioned if it was a more feasible setup.

Thanks and 73’s

“The ChannelMaster in Thetis always runs at 48 ksa/s. What would be the motivation to run VAC1 (or VAC2) at 192k? 73, Bryan W4WMT” Just trying to understand, I thought using the setting of 192 ksa/s was a faster transfer? If Channelmaster is set at 48 ksa/s wouldn’t it be better to match the setting...

Richie / Scott, 64 bit - Thetis Hello, In regards to vac stabilization: All local remote, ptt, etc. VAC I use motu m4 64 bit buffer 192 kHz sampling “Gen Tab - FW set” @ highest setting I have coded a reset button (if needed) but when Thetis starts I initiate a vac reset. It is a very unorthodox met...

I have a screenshot of my desktop with the shortcuts to the Restart / Shutdown batch files. I had to copy the batch files to the Notepads attached as to show the lines needed in the batch files. If you use shortcuts on the desktop like I did be sure and set the shortcuts for administrative rights in...

The batch files I am speaking of is only two main lines. One allows a restart after a windows update whenever that occurs and the next batch file is one for the pc shutdown, both batch files perform the registry setting to disable the “Network Throttling Index” before restarting or shutting down, th...

I just worry that an update in between Thetis installations would possibly change the registry. I listed a batch file that will overwrite the registry and in my case made batch files for restart and shutdown with the registry changes, that way when a restart or shutdown after a windows update you ar...

Just worked up a batch file to set the Network Throttling Index to Disabled, works very good. Would be good to have this execute at the PC's shutdown in case an update occurs at restart. Might be of some use, the .bat lines are as follows: @echo off reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsof...

Hi,
Will the windows 10 update revert the "Throttling Index" back to the original setting, do we need to check this periodically? Thanks very much for your help.

Thanks,

I am not disabling the main radio ptt at all, it functions as it always has. I merely give the option to use the OC-7 as a ptt function. You can select by band for ptt and/or check the disable during tune checkbox which will not key the amp/device during tune on those bands selected. I had to provid...

Mike, Everything I tested so far looks good. But, I am trying to look into the "4 x 3" and "3 x 4" split checkbox choices and baffled at this point of how to take the OC-7 out of those options. It needs to stand alone and not be affected by VFO selections when one of those checkb...

I have been working with the software for the option to disable or enable ptt during tune. I am using the OC6 accessory on the db-9 pin #3 open collector. Everything works good. I can also select which bands the ptt function will be allowed on, an added plus. This is set up on the “setup form” page ...

I believe you will need to use the option of “yaesu band data” which is a bcd control. I use this on my amp. I did post a topic under the “everything else” header here with the topic of “OC” bcd control. I give diagrams and photos of the connection to the 8000. Hope this helps.

I built a two module amp (W6PQL Devices & Design) some time back with BCD auto band-switching capability along with remote control from PC ability. You can view the original build of the amp on my QRZ (WD5Y) page, I have made some changes and improvements since then. I have been using DDUTIL wit...

I have a couple of items that I’ve added to the code but wanted to be sure they would have any value to others. I have in the past sent them to Doug as he can check out any additions and correct any problems if needed. I mainly use the collapsed window and have added the values of the sliders in the...

I wasn’t thinking, you are using 96,000 and it works the same for me until I go up to 192,000. Maybe in the future if someone tries 192,000 they can see if it stabilizes with what I’m doing on their setup.

Thanks
Joe

I totally understand on keeping the stability of your setup. If possible without making any changes of the higher sampling rate could you see if the procedure I am doing to reset would stabilize sampling at your cold startup, maybe in the future? I am very excited with the new version that’s out. I ...

Scott, I have been doing a lot of troubleshooting/work with the issue of sampling instability. I know you told me that it has nothing to do with the sample rate setting but for some reason in my case at either 96,000 or 192,000 it does. I am running a motu m4 unit and have it’s driver selected for u...

Thanks Scott and Mark, For some reason the only thing that will reset the run-away is starting at 96,000 then choosing 192,000 sampling rate after a few seconds, not sure why, probably something particular here. What’s crazy is I am seeing this extreme start-up run-away even at lower settings. I may...

No, everything has been solid but I only have operated over a two to three hour period. I may not have had it on long enough. I power up at 96,000 and after a few seconds go to the 192,000 set point and all looks good. It’s as if it is synchronizing the sampling rate. It would be good to figure out ...

Thanks Scott, Yes, I found that in my case that if I start Thetis one step of sample rate below - 96,000, then after a few seconds select 192,000 then all is very stable. This also is only the case from cold start, if I don't power off everything just shut programs down and restart all is stable aga...

Thetis 2.71 and version 2.0 firmware, should be the latest versions.

Thanks,

I just upgraded to a new sound interface that allowed me to use an ASIO driver. During the setup came across something that I’m trying to figure out. I set up at sampling rate - 192,000 and buffer 128. All locked in great with smooth audio but when I power off and back on - no lock in at all very er...

I did the same also with bringing the remote bootloader to the rear panel, very helpful for loading new firmware. The main reason I wanted to parallel the radio power switch was I only needed to use a small relay with low amp rating at this point. If I used one to control main power to the radio it ...

I did this to an 8000dle but it involved hardware additions. I wanted the same functionality as the flex line, grounding the center rca pin to power on radio. I added a 12vdc relay coil spst contacts in parallel with the “power on” switch. The coil pos. is tapped to the 12vdc bus and coil neg. conne...

Well, a few things here that the latest update caused also. I have not rolled back out of the update yet. I did find that the rolling sample rate was stabilized by checking off of the “48 kHz” and then re-selecting “48 kHz”. The problem that I have here that really confused me was that the Thetis co...

I also looked at this but wasn’t sure. If it is 5 volts, it sure would make it easy for a bcd output setup. Hopefully someone will let us know.

Thanks,

This is bad, now I have to get a 4 K monitor!! Ha ha

Richie, Thanks so much for all of the work on the code. I can't wait to get my hands on this update. I have been running the earlier versions as I get them with all great results.
