Re: ADC2 overload

Hi Gerhard,

can you go online with a video stream so that I can tell you (by phone, skype or whatever you like) how to open the box, change or reroute the cables and assemble the mess in the right way?

Re: Thetis v2.8.11 - current issues

In reality, the PI doesn't add any functionality to Thetis and to fix it would be a waste of time. I doubt anybody gives a hoot whether it works or not, so why not just remove it all together. It will free up some space for other fantastic features that you have yet to dream up. For troubleshooting...

Here is a link to transverter modified version of 21k.
pre 21k2 for testing : https://bit.ly/3lRRQK4
It removes the transverter gain for the auto agc calculations.

That works perfect!

UPDATE 21k add: auto agc options added to AGC/ALC setup tab. This is experimental and relies on panadapter noise floor calcs Auto AGC is very nice, but it requires a different offset for my vhf xvtr.

In addition, you have proven that there is nothing wrong with the DAC because you say it works fine with P1. Since the clock and data rates to the DAC in both P1 and P2 are identical one should expect the same DAC performance with both versions of firmware. Finally, because freeze spray on the DAC ...

Not clear to me that you're lowering noise or just the noise floor. Are you using a signal generator for your reference level? That level went down 1dB The noise floor of the spectrumanalyzer is just below -40 dBm without signal. The tune signal at 28.050 MHz is around +23dBm. The noise / spur at 1...

Dear friends, I have got a 100D on my bench for checkup and testing firmware versions.
