Re: Recording myself on CW not working

Curious about QSK: why would would the record feature work but not when I am in semi-break mode? Because the audio stream that goes to the recording function only contains the output of the receivers, not the sidetone. Paul beat me to the post :D but here's some additional information: The sidetone...

Re: NoMachine remote with Thetis?

There are a great many sound settings in both Windows and NoMachine. You have to select them properly in order for sound to flow in either direction. It appears that the defaults worked in one direction, but not in the transmit direction. You need to look at your settings in NoMachine specifically. ...

Re: NoMachine remote with Thetis?

This is the correct place. I'd actually like to test this, but I can't get NoMachine to work properly. Every keypress on the keyboard activates the numlock key on the remote machine. Setting up the display is pretty counterintuitive, also, but at least I beat that into submission. Just guessing: one...

Re: XVTR TX output active when using 28MHz

Hi Dave, On my 200D (as on your's most probably) there is HF power on the transverter TX output when transmitting on ANY HF band. I had to put a 28 MHz band pass filter on the HF input of my home made transverter to correct this mess somewhat. This is why I'm considering more and more to abandon my...

I wholeheartedly agree with John. When monitoring a multiplicity of values simultaneously, the bar graph format is by far the preferred approach, if not the only approach realistically possible. Overlapping needles are impossible to read once one gets past two values on the meter. This is true for b...

Phil, Reliable timing closure in the firmware under all conditions remains a concern.

You are not trying to run Thetis or PowerSDR on the built-in PC at the same time as using piHPSDR on the Controller, right? They can both be attached at the same time via the switch, but only one client software app can run at a time.

The WB display has only enough code behind it to just barely show that the WB data stream coming from the firmware works. Do not expect very much from it at this time. While the WB display is therefore ripe for many improvements, also remember that the preselector, any antenna tuners, and the antenn...

Re: CPU Usage

Thetis is not the same as those other apps.

channel master.dll runs with an internal, non-adjustable buffer size of 64. It drives the train. Everything else is lost in the noise.

Yes, 20-30% for just the process is much too high in your system. Thetis loves cores more than anything else. We are all running modern i7's. With my 4 core CPU I'm right around 10%. Ernst has an 8 core and he's right around 5%. So with your 6 core CPU you should be somewhere in between. Anti-virus ...

Re: UI lockup during tune

When tuning, especially with an autotuner like the KAT500, there may be times when the mismatch is quite high. This can lead to reflections and RF currents flowing on the shield of the coaxial cable. These currents can then cause RF to radiate from the coaxial cable or to be conducted off the shield...

Re: UI lockup during tune

If you are using a SmallIR then why is there a KAT500 antenna tuner involved at all? There is no antenna tuner required with that antenna. That could very well be a major part of your problem.
