Ritchie with C4b I see that when you enable RX2 that the buttons move a bit compared to just running RX1 only.

Just a little something to put on your list. I have a Anan 8000 and I noticed the TX power meter was way off. All is fine when doing the adjustment but as soon as you go over the 100w adjustment, it will not adjust at all. No change. Its under PA settings / Watt Meter. This does not affect any other model except the 200W 8000DLE.


Nick, I had a quick look around that code area but could not spot anything obvious. It will probably need investigating by someone who knows that area of code with an 8k to hand. All the the constants and multiplication factors in function computeOrionMkIIExciterPower() look a bit magic sauce to me :)

Gary, yes they will move around in expanded view, because everything is adjusted to fill available area evenly.

As far as I can tell there has been no change in the behavior of the controls layout when RX2 is selected, or when the window is resized.

Hi, when you enable 'MultiRX' the second virtual receiver VFO B window don't follow the filter and mode as the VFO A. It follow filters and mode in the audio and in the panadapter but the info in the VFO B window not, it is unchanged.

Thanks and 73.

Thanks. The small labels on vfob do not reflect the filter/mode if vfob is being used for multirx. Added to known issues list.

Hi all,

Please try : https://www.dropbox.com/s/p7xfl7a7gxf1b ... 5.zip?dl=0

The source for this version has gone off to Doug today.

Cheers, Richie.

fixes/changes that were directX only are now also GDI+
  • fix: holding shift does not toggle spotter/spot repeatedly, now only shows spotter when shift held
  • change: notches do not highlight if dragging a filter/rx/tx
  • add: AM/SAM tx profile now change with mode (direct code port from powersdr)
  • add: option to enable/disable small labels mode/filter in vfo boxes
  • add: option to show/hide fps
  • add: option to increase particle size in phase
  • change: clicking on date/time will cycle utc/loc and then hide. Clicking in the area/cpu/volts will cycle again

Hi all again. I use a lot my Anan 100D in remote and my mode 99% is CW. To use a real keyer in remote I have a modified K3NG that send via serial port ASCII and i use a virtual port to link to the remote pc, here another virtual port send the ascii to a winkeyer ( k3ng via a serial port ) and that manipulate the Anan. The idea is if it can be possible Thetis enable a virtual serial port and send the ascii to the internal keyer inside the FPGA ?

May be that this need a change in firmware, i don't kow, but dream is cheap :roll:

Thanks Richie for adding AM/SAM to auto-switch TX Profile when the mode is changed in v286 c5. I didn't realize how much I missed that feature when I moved from PSDR mRX PS. It's all running smoothly here by the way.

Hello everybody,
actually just a cosmetic issue.
Is it up to me or are the band limits for "Region 1" wrong?
The following bands in Thetis are affected.
160 m 1,800 - 2,000 (1,810 - 2000)
60m missing
80 m 3,500 - 4,000 (3,500 - 3800)
40 m 7,000 - 7,300 (7,000 - 7,200)
6m missing

Hi all and Ritchie,

I tested again Puresignal, works very good, but when I switch on the Auto-ATT in the PS 2 advanced Panel it seems PS get worry and
do not correct anymore, also after tick Auto-ATT to OFF the Tune-Function gets worry also, I get many Tune-Signal on both Sides of the
Filter.
Only way to get it back to work is Restart Thetis (C4-b) and not mark Auto-ATT. I use a fixed setting in the Setup of Thetis, that works.

All other is working very good here :D :D :D

yes Sigi, it is on the list of things to sort out at some point. In terms of band edge display on the panadaptor, currently only Spain, Australia, UK, India, Norway, US and Japan get a specific band edge set. Everywhere else gets....

{ 135700, 137800, 472000, 479000, 1800000, 2000000, 3500000, 4000000,
7000000, 7300000, 10100000, 10150000, 14000000, 14350000, 18068000, 18168000, 21000000, 21450000,
24890000, 24990000, 28000000, 29700000, 50000000, 54000000, 144000000, 148000000 };

US and UK get channelised 60m. Band stacks are another area where country has specific data, which is shown under each vfo. It all needs a re-work to bring it all together instead of distributed throughout the project as it is at the moment, and perhaps pulling out of being hard-coded and into a config file.

Hi all,

If someone has a spare couple of hours/days to do the research, I would appreciate band plan info from LF (2200m band) up to and including 2m. for as many countries that are different to the default IARU plans as possible. This is purely to draw the band edges on the spectrum display. Also, any slices for the 60m band.

As an example, the following is for the UK :

uk band info
135700, 137800, 472000, 479000, 1810000, 2000000, 3500000, 3800000,
5258500, 5406500, 7000000, 7200000, 10100000, 10150000, 14000000, 14350000,
18068000, 18168000, 21000000, 21450000, 24890000, 24990000, 28000000, 29700000,
50000000, 52000000, 144000000, 148000000
uk 60m slice info
5258500, 5264000, 5276000, 5284000, 5288500, 5292000,

Have noticed in ver c4 and c5 when Thetis is shut down on a band other than 20m, the next time Thetis is launched and I select 20m band the drive level has changed to 100, not the lower level as previously set. Anyone else seeing this?

yeah it is caused by all bands each saving their power settings, and then a power setting being stored by txprofile which overwrites the band setting.

First off, thanks for all the work Richie. Thetis has been a pleasure to operate now. And thanks for porting the code for the SAM/AM TX Profile switching. Makes us guys who work AM & SSB very happy. Anyway, two quick things that i've noticed. The first has always happened in every version of Thetis for me. And thats the "Seq=<1" error at the bottom of the waterfall. Sometimes the numeric part of that message is different. And every time it happens, the receive drops out for a split second. So that's number 1. Number 2 has to do with the waterfall and panadapter settings. In Setup> Display> RX1, I have the panadapter and waterfall detector set on "Average". I noticed that when switching the type of Averaging from "None" or "Recursive" to "Time Window", it doesn't change. It only changes to "Time Window" when you go from "Log Recursive" to "Time Window". When switching from "Time Window" to any of the other types, it seems to work fine. I never use anything but "Log Recursive" for averaging, but I was just messing around to see what things did and noticed. I noticed this a few updates ago, so its not just on this update, C5. Thats all I have for now. Thanks again Richie.

V/R,

Perry,

Seq errors are caused by badly out of order or missing data packets coming from the radio. To my knowledge, this has never been a fault of Thetis. Instead it is indicative of either a) a networking problem (rarely) or b) firmware not making timing on your specific hardware (almost always).

Try some different versions of the firmware to see if you can solve the Seq error problem. However, if the Seq errors are not audible, you can safely ignore them.

Scott

Hi Perry,

I think it is because there doesn't seem to be a reset of average sum data in function SetDisplayAverageMode() in analyzer.c for mode 2, time‐window averaging of linear data. I could (am probably) be wrong though. Perhaps best left for Doug/Warren to take a look.

To repro:

Enable average for display (button on main console)
Display->RX1->Waterfall Averaging... select Log Recursive, then select Time window.

Thanks Scott & Richie. One other thing I did notice is when I save a transmit profile, after saving, it defaults to one profile. No matter what profile I save, it defaults back to the TX profile that is at the top of the list. Kind of annoying when I save changes in the middle of a QSO, then I go to transmit and im on my side band profile on AM lol.

Thanks again for all the hard work guys!

Not sure if this has been reported...

Cannot save settings after APPLY under Thetis' AUDIO and DSP tabs. After exiting and re-starting, the saved settings revert back to what appears to be default values. Same issue when trying to IMPORT from the database. Using Thetis 2.6.8, 10/07/19 build. Protocol 2, v2.0 firmware.

It is due to txprofile overwriting other settings.

Load tx profile is now applied 'after' everything is read in. So what you will have is your tx profile settings, not something that you might have saved with the ok button. For example, if you change vac1 buffer from 512 to 1024, then hit ok. It will save out 1024 along side that vac buffer entry. However upon restart if the system, that 1024 will be loaded back in, and then overwritten by the vac buffer setting stored against currently selected tx profile, which may or may not match.

Also, loading back in, and not applying the currently selected txprofile would be bad as well. What settings do we use, the ones stored generically from the setupform, or ones from txprofile?

The whole saving and management of settings all needs a rethink to be honest. WIP as they say :)

Edit: in other words, save tx profile to make this 'stick', or at least the tx profile parts

Hi,
Been playing with C5 and had a lock up on CW with P2 version 2 firmware. Twice in the middle of a pileup. Even resetting the database didn't help, the CW tone and TX would still be locked up. Even after reset and rebooting the computer. So I went back to 1.9 and that seems to help on CW lockup, but now I have a new problem with PS.

When I have PS engaged, there is a PTT delay on TX and then another delay when I release PTT. So I am wondering if there are some PS delay settings I am not aware of? When PS is off, there is no delay. You can even hear the PS relays inside the 8000DLE delayed when doing PTT, which is weird.

I love the new looks! Been learning a lot reading the community subject of 2.6.8.

Thanks everyone! 73 de w5jay/jay..

Been running c5 with P2 v1.9 but starting to have intermittent problems with Thetis locking up. Sometimes I'll see a few "seq" errors and then it will lock up. Other times no "seq" errors but an audio cutout then it locks up. I switched to P2 v1.7 with no improvement, more lockups, but no "seq" errors. This is same scenario I had with my first try with P2. All was good for about three months then started having intermittent disconnects which forced me back to P1, which runs fine. FYI, the Anan has it's own dedicated network subnet.
