RX2 issue

Postby N4XD » Thu Nov 05, 2020 2:01 pm

Don't know if this is a hardware or software issue.

Turned radio on yesterday and had no external signals on RX2. Did have a constant spike, even with no antenna connected. It doesn't change as the radio is tuned. I.E. Its in approximately the center of the panadapter and, as you tune it stays there.

I made no changes (at least that I can think of) from turning the radio (7000dle) off at night then back on in the morning.

I do have an email out to US service but thought I'd ask here to see if anyone has any ideas.

Thanks
Ron

An update. Shortly after I wrote my post I went back to Thetis. Noticed I had stereo diversity turned on (the "SD" button below panafall for RX2).

I turned that off and the signal went away and now I can receive signals via the antenna. This seems like a software bug to me.

Thanks
