TX Signal Meter jumps to Fwd PWR on transmit

Postby oe3ide » Sat May 22, 2021 2:44 pm

Hi,

see video. Immediatly after TX, the signal meter jumps to "fwd pwr", regardless the previous selected meter...

https://www.oe3ide.com/wordp/wp-content ... _meter.mp4

Even I select SWR in the transmit-tune section as tx-meter, on tuning the tx-meter jumps again to fwd pwr.

Any ideas whats wrong here?

Thanks & 73s

Ok, a complete windows-restart solved the problem. I had this effect several times.

For the records: TMate2CatConsole was the trouble-maker. Not at the beginning, but over some run-time, the cat-connection from Thetis to TMate2CatConsole "resets" the TX-meter to "Fwd pwr" on each TX (mox, ptt).

Hi Ernst.
I do not know what Tmate 2 Console is but I have this problem all the time. I can set it to Fwd/SWR but it jumps to Fwd after the next PTT ore tune. I use Andromeda Prototype and latest version of Thetis. But I have seen this also when using my Hermes/Apollo and Thetis. I have tried to save the TX profile several timed but that does not help.

Hi Kjel,
which software do you have connected to the virtual cat-ports in Thetis? Maybe another software is also making garbage.

Hi Ernst.
The Andromeda Front Panel with an Arduino Nano Every is connected to one CAT port and the Aries ATU with an Arduino 33iot to another. But as I say this also happens when Hermes/Apollo is used without anything connected to the CAT ports.
