Scott...
I have been on 40m for several hours this morning and have to say that all appears to be working well. No extended blow-outs. Fingers crossed
PS Test 10 - 20m vid later in afternoon...

Well I'm good with that. I can honestly say there a few things that were not as snugged up ( some SMA connectors and the attenuator) as they should have been. Don't know if that caused any issues but who knows. Which of the boxes on the right side of advanced tab of Amp View do you recommend checked...

PS test 9 with amp 1300w, external coupler and attenuator installed on 20m

Scott..
The external coupler was on the output of the amp with the 10dB attenuator inline on PS test 6.

PS test 7 on 17m, 1350w with internal coupler.
PS test 8 on 20m, 1430w with internal coupler.

Scott... Pure Signal test with amplifier and external coupler at 1300w on 17m. I know it's not with the internal coupler but thought I'd try this config as it was already intact. I can do it with internal coupler and QRO if you would still like. FYI... I took the top case off earlier today because t...

Scott..
Pure Signal test with external coupler attached running barefoot 100w
on 17m

Scott/Brent....

Here is the video testing Pure Signal with the stock coupler reconnected. Barefoot power levels at 50w, 100w and 120w. Sorry about the audio and pauses between power levels. No amp used.

After reloading firmware, another PS test video with same basic results....

Here is a YouTube link to a short video showing what I am experiencing with Pure Signal.

Ok.. With ALC Comp meter I'm actually seeing 1dB w/peaks to 2.5dB

Scott/Gary... Again, PowerSDR newbie question. I can't seem to get ALC above -0dB using either Line In Gain or MIC gain. What adjustment do you recommend to use? Max Gain in DSP > AGC/ALC tab? I know of one other using the OM2500HF and he is not seeing these blow-outs, but he is only one. I have cha...

Last check I was right at 0dB on the ALC but I'll recheck it. I'll order a 50 ohm terminator for the feedback SMA. The amp is an OM Power OM2500HF. I don't like seeing the blowouts and it usually is when feedback goes dark. I will bring ALC up to +1dB to be sure I'm hitting it hard enough. Can't bel...

Scott.. I am using a Xtronic XDC-4 coupler for PS feedback. With the loop connector disconnected on my 8000 and the "PS input" being fed, does the "PS feedback" SMA need to be terminated? I presently just have the loop connector attached and dangling. With the XDC-4 I am getting ...

Thank you Walter! That's just what I was hoping for.
I don't write code or even know how to modify, but I'll try to figure it out.

I like to operate barefoot at times which make the PA gain limiter inconvenient.
Thx

As a new Anan and PowerSDR OpenHPSDR mRX user I'm finding how easy it is to change settings by rolling over and touching the mouse wheel without realizing it. Most of these errors are no big deal and of little concern UNTIL, repeat, UNTIL you raise the drive power while using an amplifier. I would L...

Scott... This from Doug when I asked him about what version he recommends I run. Carl, I did not change the firmware versions. The differences between 2.2, 2.3, & 2.4 are negligible. 2.2 to 2.3 had a freq switching point for the HPF changed from 1.5MHz to 1.8MHz because someone in Europe wanted ...

Scott... Just heard back from Doug. He informed me he had to replace the PA board and finals transistor in my new 8000 and is shipping it back to me tomorrow. Also, re: FW 2.4.... "The v2.4 is not beta. It was produced in May 2018. It has not been released to the public as of yet by the develop...

Hi Scott... As a new 8000DLE owner I'm curious to know what the most current firmware version is? Most everything I see here shows 2.3, however mine clearly showed 2.4 on first startup. Sadly I've had issues with it right out of the box, of which Doug has confirmed since he received it yesterday. Th...
