100D not working right

Postby dmalcolm » Thu Jul 15, 2021 1:08 pm

I'm probably in the wrong place here. Someone will steer me to the correct place I'm sure. I had a thunderstorm nearby about 3 days ago but no direct strikes. One was close. Since then my ANAN 100D won't show me a signal. I'm running Thetis 2.8.11. It's been installed and running very well for nearly a year. My 100D is connected to a vertical through two Alpha Delta coax switches.

The close lightning strike took me by surprise and I had not disconnected the 100D from the antenna. I fear the 100D has been damaged. From the computer aspect, Thetis will still connect, I can change frequency and don't get any errors. However the display looks strange.

I also have a Yaesu FT-950 that was not in use or connected at the time of the lightning strike. It's display in WSJT is normal but with any signals. So I may also have an antenna problem. My antenna analyzer looks pretty normal, and the antenna tuner on the FT-950 will tune up. But the antenna connecting cable is 150 feet long and I may be getting a false tune.

This attachment shows what I see in Thetis.

Why is it almost fully zoomed in? 73, Leon

Because I normally run FT8 via WSJT-X and that show the entire bandwidth I've allowed. If I zoom out the picture does change a bit in amplitude but not in character.

This issue has resolved itself.
