My PC has died- now I need to put a new one together. My IT-savvy son built my PC for me about 4 years ago and it has worked fine until recently, when either motherboard or processor has broken, The old PC worked well- it had an i7 4790K CPU which had been overclocked and I never had any problems ap...

Hi Rick, Rob and others Some good news! Despite the P2 v1.5(2) not working as others have described, I now have a clean TX spectrum. I re-loaded v1.5 (1) and ran the same Thetis 2.6.2 set up as before- same database. This time I had a clean TX spectrum on DUP/Panadaptor- just a few spurs at 70-80dB ...

Hi Rick Sorry for the confusion- too many Dave's! In the other thread I report that P2 v1.5 is now giving a clean TX spectrum ON DUP/Panadaptor across 160-6m on my 200D. Something strange is happening so I definitely need to buy that small SDR RX to confirm my TX quality. Thanks again for your help....

Hi Rick I think there is some cross-posting to another thread on the same topic. In another post I show the TX problem in more detail with some screen shots, Thanks for your comments. I have had 1Gb running here with P2 firmware/Thetis for long periods (days) without problem, so it is stable enough ...

Anan 200D, P2 1.5 (pre), 384kHz Anan 200D, P1 4.9, 192kHz Hi Rob, Rick Further feedback on the 6m TX spurs. Attached are Tune/DUP screen shots to confirm the 6m TX problem on my 200D. On 160m with P2 I have a clean TX spectrum. When I change to P1/PSDR on 6m I also have a clean spectrum. The spurs o...

Anan 200D, P2 1.5 (pre), 384kHz Many thanks for working on the problem with P2. A quick check showed that the TX spurs were still present on 20m- 6m, but not on 160m-30m, so not changed from v 1.4. See attached wide TX spectrum screenshot from 6m (this is the most affected band) - TX is not usable 2...

200D P2 v1.4 Thetis 2.6.2 After about a week of use I have started to hit problems with reliability with P2/Thetis. These have been in two specific areas: 1. Continued problems with VAC instability: Thetis crashing with run away under/overflows. I have tried different settings, but none were fully s...

Hi Rick Thanks for posting the test update. I have tested your v1.3 TEST on my 200D and it has eliminated the Seq=>8 , Seq=>10 errors as well as the other Seq errors that were shown when RX2 was used. I checked PS on several bands and this worked well with no errors shown. The VAC problem with over/...

Hi Norbert Thanks again- another problem solved. Very helpful! See below for my comments 73 Dave G3ZQH The frequency scale problem is still there whichever mode I select. However, if I know the top scale is for RX then that does help. that is interesting. Please save your database first, then reset ...

Hi Norbert Thanks, your comments were helpful. The ghost has now disappeared ! It was the Show CT Filter as you suggested. Some setting I must have transferred incorrectly from PSRDmrx. The frequency scale problem is still there whichever mode I select. However, if I know the top scale is for RX the...

Hi Scott I attach Thetis ghost and frequency scale misalignment.PNG a screen shot which shows the the 'ghost' image to the left of the main bandwidth area. It appears when the mouse is moved away from the main display window. The same screen shot shows the frequency scale misalignment. 73 Dave G3ZQH...

Hi Scott My observations so far: 1. The v1.3/Thetis 2.6.0 combination has been erratic with occasional unexplained crashes and a problem with VAC (see below). But when it is working everything has been stable for long periods (hours). 2. PureSignal works in single CAL or SSB modes- fast response wit...

Thetis unstable with 200D/P2 v1.3 After several hours of working Thetis has now been crashing after just a few minutes of operation. The obvious problem I can see is to with the VAC audio, where there are many under/overflows. I attach screen shots. I tried ticking the VAC settings for 'manual' or ...

This is changed from what I saw before v1.3:

I see "Seq=>8" in red below the panadapter which changes to "Seq=>10" when I activate PureSignal. I'm not sure if this is a warning (red colour) or information. Just reporting it in case it is relevant.

Good news! P2 v1.3 works with my 200D. Now, for the first time I have functioning PureSignal in Thetis. So it is looking good. so far. Will give it a thorough check over the weekend.

Thanks to the developers for fixing this so quickly.

No go for me with the new P2 firmware for my Anan 200D. Doesn't work with either Thetis 2.6 or SDR Console v3.04. I get a connection to the radio, but just S9+50dB RF noise on all bands. I have reverted to the earlier version for now until there is more feedback from other users. I'll be interested ...

After a few weeks of checking I never did confirm the cause of my problems with loading the firmware. It is now working fine and I can load either P1 or P2 without problem. using a combination of the new programmer and the original HPSDR programmer (no need for Bootloader). My best guess was that it...

Hi Scott The rig came back to life, but I didn't do anything specific to achieve this. It was just left overnight. Since then, it has dropped out again a few times this morning. This makes me think that there might be an intermittent problem, possibly something simple like a bad connection from the ...

I have the dreaded “Error starting HPSDR hardware, is it connected and powered?". In the past I have been able to sort this out using Bootloader, but not this time. I have tried all the options in this forum with little success- including W1AEX suggestions on his web pages. I normally use proto...

Hi Walter The problem is still there with a dummy load. However, it mostly affects 40m and 30m- the other bands have only very small sidebands -60dB or lower. Unfortunately, I don't have a spare power supply, but I have confirmed the voltage and checked internally with no evidence of any problems. S...

After several years of relatively problem-free use of my 200D I recently have a problem (or maybe not?) with a very poor quality TX signal as seen on the DUP panadapter. When I hit tune, I see many spikes either side of the main frequency- I have attached a screen shot to show an example on 40m. I h...
