Running two radios with one computer

Postby k5wid » Wed Apr 13, 2022 1:54 pm

What's the best practices to run my 8k or my new (backup) 7K on Thetis? can I simply change the model in setup when I chose to run one radio at a time? just concerned about the different PA cal settings

The PA calibration is per radio model. You can have both radios (must be different models) in one database.

The more elegant way is to have distinct databases for each radio (can be same models, must have distinct fixed IP's) and use -datapath option in command line.
This way you can even use them at the same time.

More on the datapath command line option (and other command line options) here: viewtopic.php?f=9&t=4047

Just make two different shortcuts, one for each ANAN you have on the network, and each one with a different datapath.

P.S. remember those boxes are not "radios" by themselves, most of the "radio" is in Thetis ;)
