Re: Bricked my radio, what to do next?
Hi Justin,
Just change the name of the rbf file to "metis.rbf". I believe that will solve your problem.

P.S. thanks for the nice feedback!

Re: Current Status
Just to clarify:
The 100 is the 100W version of the 10. Both use the Hermes 16-bit card.
The 100B is the 100W version of the 10E. Both use the Hermes 14-bit card.

Re: ANAN-8000DLE SWR Protection
John, In addition to confirming you've got the right LCD microprocessor code loaded, I'd suggest reverting to protocol 1 and PowerSDR. There's no guarantee that protocol 2 and Thetis will work properly regardless of the LCD firmware revision. Unfortunately I can't guide you on what the 8000 LCD shou...

That's very interesting, Stu, thanks for posting that! I wonder, because of the way that openHPSDR architecture radios (i.e. every Apache Labs radio) adjusts RF drive, setting the RF power to 100W and then adjusting drive with the audio level might not be a good method. This is because the gain afte...

Buck, No problems per se. However, you'll take a 3dB sensitivity hit using a power divider ("splitter"). You may or may not want to do that. A switch would solve that problem. Also, just be very careful to program it up right in Setup > General > Ant/Filters > Antenna. You don't want to ac...
