Postby kd0ldl » Sun Aug 19, 2018 4:59 pm

Is there a wiki on how to install the this somewhere. I would like to try some of these other versions but don't know where to start. I'm running a anan 7000 dle firmware version 2.3 powersdr v3.4.9

Thetis itself installs and runs exactly the same as PowerSDR mRX PS. It is available from the same repository:

https://github.com/TAPR


The entire point of Thetis is to be able to run Protocol 2 firmware, which is explained here:

https://apache-labs.com/community/viewforum.php?f=32

Before running Thetis you will need to load Protocol 2 firmware in your radio hardware. Once you do this you can only run Thetis until you go back to Protocol 1 firmware by loading it into the radio hardware. Be sure that you are comfortable using Bootloader because the alpha/beta nature of Protocol 2 firmware may not allow you to use the Programmer. How to load firmware is covered here:

I was able to install the firmware. downloaded the thetis file. This is the part I'm unsure about. I put the file in the flex radio system file renamed it powersdr mrx ps, changed renamed the old file to 3.4.9. Then run the power sdr it starts as new install then doesn't power on. is there a step by step on this part of the install process. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong. Do I do the same on the program file (x)86. a link to this would be greatly apricated.

yes I do have static ip setup and automatic metric set.

thanks for you time.

I have no idea what you did or why you did it.

Download the latest release of Thetis installer.

https://github.com/TAPR/OpenHPSDR-Thetis/releases

Run the installer. Run Thetis. Done (assuming the firmware works OK on your radio, which it might not).

Last evening I decided to uninstall Thetis 2.8.11.x64 and all the associated programs, etc. I did this for the reason of better organizing my arrangement of various installations including the start menu. I saved a copy of my last Thetis configuration. The uninstalls all seemed to go well using IObit uninstaller. Upon a fresh boot I set about to reinstall.

The install of Thetis went okay, but when I try to run Thetis I get ...

The hardware is Anan 7000DLE MKII - Black.

What might I do to correct my installation?


As ever,

See if it runs with a reset database. If it does, then you are going to have to rebuild all your settings from scratch.

Thanks.

I was able to find a difficulty that was impeding the matter. While the uninstall program took out Thetis proper where it was installed, it didn't take out what was in the Users/Owner/AppData/OpenHPSDR folder. Removing that folder and a another reinstall has Thetis working okay.

I was able to import a saved copy of my latest database. Now I'm trying to find comPorts for dummies. :)
