Re: Installing Thetis for the first time
Scott, You are absolutely right - and my apologies. I had already seen those links and downloaded to my desktop.... my 'fear' was, and I probably shouldn't have used that word, the substantial amount of 'other' threads after the fact coupled with the age of those links to begin with. So I installed ...

Re: Preamp bad on RX2?
Scott - ok, that makes even more sense. If I'm not changing the actual gain but its relative value used in setting the S Meter response, I believe that is correctly stated, this still doesn't explain why the same actions on RX1 do not reflect the same response when done on RX2. THAT was my issue/que...

The site has an msi file for 2.8.11 dated Oct 2020. Is that where I have to start - or since I am ok with going to the latest beta is there an ...

Re: Installing Thetis for the first time
Thanks - so I assume the bits at the bottom will make it necessary to backup. Just changing the install path isn't going to negate the fact that 3.4.9 also uses that folder for those files.

Ways to record WF for up to 24 hours
I'm looking for a way to record noise on a band. This is because I have a horrendous noise source that isn't there always. I suspect it is a pot farm or something else illegal ... hoping not the case. It does sound like PL noise and when on it completely wipes out 160 - 6M in that direction. But it ...

Re: display jumps to center on transmit
Hey Ron, Possible you are running JTDX? If so it might be it is causing the shift. When I go SPLIT and I have it on it returns the freq back to transmit. I have to remember to close JT when going split.

Richie, Sorry - I was speaking specifically about the OR and not the AND. The AND says PS has to be off for some value to be imposed if on CW.

Re: Transmit spectrum bad behavior
Mike, I see this on PSDR 3.4.9 so it's something that has been there. It generally is associated or at least exacerbated by changing the power while transmitting causing PureSignal to have to go look for a different solution. It generally is stable once a power level is set - but can take several se...

Re: Unstable, wide, nasty spur
It's simply removing a SM resistor - a good soldering pencil should do the trick. I do this as needed on the product that I sell. First, use some 0.025 solder to flow into the joint - then just hit it back and forth and pop it off. I'll take a look at doing this as I have those nasty spurs as well. ...

Re: Choppy CW
Ron,
I resorted to always using the foot switch to send CW when operating 80/160 w/ a RX antenna. I have the same issue re SWR and it would also occasionally trip out the amp - it would trip on "out of band".
I'll give your fix a try - see what I find as a 2nd data point.

I was only saying by going to these values I eliminated the truncation of the first element being sent. Which I believe you say you now see as well. So it must STILL exist.

Re: Thetis 2_8_11 changes/ideas/wants/wishes
Hopefully what you mean is that TUNE STEP, whatever its value, should be remembered with the mode (or bandstack). 100Hz is FAR too wide on CW for serious operation ... I use 2Hz on CW and 10Hz on SSB. It would be nice to have these set per the mode.
