noob ? firmware preinstalled?

Postby K5HS » Sat Apr 03, 2021 6:26 pm

I have a black face 7000 MKII on order.
Can I assume no firmware is installed on the radio, and I will have to decide to install P1 or P2(I plan to uses Thetis)?

The hardware will come with P1 firmware preinstalled. That will work with either PowerSDR or Thetis.

Read this topic: viewtopic.php?f=9&t=3557

If and when you want to change the firmware, read the sticky posts at the top of the firmware sub-forum.

Is this this the case (P1 installed) for radios shipping Dec 2021/Jan 2022?

AFAIK the answer is still P1 installed. However, it would be great if people who are receiving new hardware could chime in and let us if that assertion is correct or not.

Received my 7000 DLE today (Dec 15). As far as I can tell P1 is installed, as the version number in the ANAN Address block of the Setup/General tab is 2.7, which corresponds to the latest version of P1 IIUC.

It is my understanding that Thetis 2.8.11 works with either P1 or P2, However, Thetis does not see the radio on my network. PowerSDR immediately detects the radio and it works nicely. Temporarily stumped as to why Thetis doesnt see ther radio when PowerSDR does, even after much searching/reviewing on this and othe sites. Suggest more likely an issue other than network. We'll find it!

I received my 7000 October 2020, Protocol2 preinstalled, I can run sample rate above 192k.
Mine was manufactured in Melbourne, could it be that what came out of Melbourne around that time had Protocol2 and ex India Procol1? My understanding is that production was shifted back to India due to Covid shut downs in Melbourne?
