Re: Problem loading firmware on 7000

I want to highlight for others. The root cause here was confusing the Bootloader app with the two different Programmer apps as well. He was on a protocol 1 load and used the protocol 2 programmer. Then crossed wires and tried the bootloader. Protocol 1 in radio, you use the Protocol 1 Programmer app...

Re: Thetis v2.9.0 - Updates and Issues

Thanks I will try that A quick fix, toggle the transmit profile to one that is working, save as "AM", set the bandwidth to say 5kHz and save again. A bit ago some changes were made so transmit profiles are a bit more granular in the state that is kept, which is a good thing but it trips m...

Hi, before I go in hot and heavy and reload everything....has anyone had any issues with AM and SAM. Either I've done something silly with my setup but, when I decided to try and listen to an AM signal....no audio ditto SAM. DSB works as does everything else. And no output if I try and transmit.

Re: TCI + fldigi + Thetis + log4om - they seem to fight each other

Fldigi and Thetis. Either one can change, works smoothly Log4OM and Thetis, either one can change and works smoothly. Add all three and none stably change frequency. A digit changes and then it bounces back to the last state. As to the fldigi options in log4om, I’ve tried it with and without the fld...

Re: TCI + fldigi + Thetis + log4om - they seem to fight each other

Here's the hamlib wrapper. https://github.com/ftl/tciadapter Yeah Scott basically if I try to change frequency in fldigi, log4om or Thetis will try and overrule that.

TCI + fldigi + Thetis + log4om - they seem to fight each other

I've got TCI working nicely with either fldigi and Thetis or log4om and Thetis, but if I have all three going, they seem to fight over control. Is this a known issue? Fldigi is using the TCI hamlib wrapper network service from github. All are using 40001 for TCI port on loopback. Too many layers to ...

In Collapsed mode the PWR doesn't indicate current value/position, maybe populate the hover over with the value?

Also in Collapsed mode I would like a VAC over/underflow indicator, it could be tucked in the bottom status bar?

Re: Thetis v2.9.0 - Updates and Issues

Went from one of the k series pre-releases to 2.9.0.5, it needed a remove and a re-install, then no troubles. Symptom was, the radio just didn't "start", software powered up but nothing "running".

The power profiles are a great idea, thanks.

This only happens if I leave things running for many, many hours. RX audio is never effected. It se...

For the guys having trouble, are the two devices on the same broadcast network? E.g. 192.168.1.2 as one device with a mask of 255.255.255.0 with the other being somewhere between 192.168.1.3-254 ? If not, are you sure the router between the networks is configured to permit traffic to flow?

Re: Thetis 2_8_11 changes/ideas/wants/wishes

A small one, I think. For MNF when hitting +MNF, I would like it to dump roughly in the middle of the passband vs the zero offset point as it's kind of tricky to grab the notch filter vs the edge of the passband filter. So basically an offset of say 1kHz or so from the current dial frequency so it's...

Re: Audio played back on the air

The signal is recorded as you heard it, after it's propagated, so the frequency response will shift. Then when you transmit it, it will propagate again and the frequency response will shift again. So the received recorded signal has your noise floor, and whatever signal strength it was as you heard ...

Try using the headphone jack as your output if you aren't already. Sounds like a mismatch on drive level to the input of whatever your audio output device is.

Neither. Raising the slider increases the compression ratio.
