Re: 60 meters channel do not stay were you put them ?

I found if you open the band stack window and unlock the entry you can then dial in a new one and "Update Entry". Be aware what it's doing by default is avoiding the lower 100Hz (which you don't need for most any mode) and also sets a 2700Hz bandpass to give you 2800Hz total width. Mike W9...

Re: Amazon eero mesh system

Can you ping the Apache box? That's the first step.
You don't quite explain your network setup.
We need to know addresses, cabling, net mask. Perhaps an annotated diagram?

Re: Power supply availability for new Anan 8000 G2 1000w model.

Of course the modifications are already made. The power supply is designed to handle full power -- 48V at 40A is 1,920 watts and Meanwell power supplies are very efficient at around 90% so plenty of power. The 1000W on the rig is only for CW or Voice -- not FT8 for example which is limited to 500W s...

Re: Power supply availability for new Anan 8000 G2 1000w model.

I got some more information.

The dimensions are 30cm L x 8.5cm W x 4 cm H
Fans are temperature controlled.
It's a non-standard Meanwell supply with modifications to make it RF quiet and quieter fans.

True -- they abandoned the 8000 version due to inability to get parts.

https://apache-labs.com/al-products/1060/110-220v-AC-Power-Supply-for-the-ANAN-8000DLE-MKII.html The rig is limited to 500W for high-duty mode like FT8. But duty cycle has nothing to do with how much power the rig needs. Anytime you push the 1000W you need the amperage to support it regardless of du...

As far as I can tell there is no manual adjustment. I'd have to check the code to see where it's saving it.

Re: Bug in DUP displayed power level--need someone else to test & confirm

I did a Level Cal using the XG3 at -33dBm
I now get
0dBm -- with S-ATT at 9 I get 2.2dBm and no ADC overflow
-33dBm -32.1dBm
-73dBm -72.6dBm
-107dBm -106.5dBm

That's getting closer.....

Re: Bug in DUP displayed power level--need someone else to test & confirm

Re-did my test (helps when you plug the sig gen into the right port :-)

0dBm = -2.7dB, ADC1 Overload
-33dBm = -36.7 dBm
-73dBm = -75.1dBm
-107dBm = -111.6 dBm

So not quite linear here...

If I put 0dBm in and S-ATT at 8 I get no overloads....peak shows -2.9dBm

Re: Bug in DUP displayed power level--need someone else to test & confirm

I used an XG3 which I have confirmed the -33dBm and 0dBm levels with an 8920A RMS meter. My 7000DLE MKII with the latest checkout shows this: 0dB = -99.6dBm -33dB = -133dBm So the linearity is correct but the level is wrong. If I recalibrate using the 0dBm level I get the right answers at 0dBm and -...

I would also recommend Rig Split instead of Fake It.
Fake It is really intended for rigs that cannot do Rig Split.

Try renaming \users\mdbla\AppData\Roaming\OpenHPSDR
That will allow you to start with a new config.
