Re: Strange interference at VFO freq. solved with database reset

I've merged these two topics and made the title a bit more descriptive.

This is some very strange behavior. I wonder if anyone else is seeing this? I looked for it myself and I don't see that behavior here (ANAN-8000 into dummy load).

Re: Quieting TX/RX relay

Please forgive my ignorance, gents. I'm not a CW operator, nor can I hear what my 8000 is doing since it is located in a rack two floors beneath my operating location even when I pretend to be one!

Re: Quieting TX/RX relay

Paul I do plan to make the changes per your info. I am portable in NM using an Elecraft K3 as the rig. Spoiled by its soundless keying. No idea why Apache labs didn't go the pin diode route. Not only noisy but, using the internal keyer, I found needed large delays to keeps from hot keying. Not at a...

Re: Problem loading firmware on 7000

I agree, it's an overly complex system and can be confusing.

It would be great to see the functionality of both programmer versions simplified, automated, and ...

Re: Recording Thetis while using CW Skimmer

CW Skimmer can use straight audio, although the bandwidth is more limited. So you could switch to regular audio, then split the audio using Voicemeeter or VB Cable into both CW Skimmer and Bandicam. Another alternative would be to set both RX1 and RX2 to ADC0, turn on VFO sync, then use the VAC2 out...

There will be no problems with this, for the reason that Mark already gave.

Re: Noise Blanker Settings

One thing I forgot: in Seutp > DSP > NB/SNB, make sure that NB2 MODE is Linear Interpolate. That is far superior to the other methods, and makes all the difference between NB and NB2 modes.

With regard to the cut off voice keying: take a look at N1MM setup and make sure it is set to properly key the radio through Thetis.
