Thank you for the video. I got it running but decode for me is very spotty, even with a really good, strong FT-8 signal. Not anywhere as good as my Icom 7300 using the same antenna. How can I adjust levels or tweak the reception when using the TCI interface?

Hello. I have watched your videos about getting EESDR to run VARAHF. That is what I am trying to do. Unfortunately the videos are out of date. I have the audio working but not the cat control. Any chance of an updated video? Any other ideas?

Your ears would never hear it and I can tell you the HL2 is definitely better at RX if you can't hear them what good is the dynamic range.and like I said unless your running test equipment your ears would never hear the difference between the dynamic range.

Darren that spike as you call it doesn't go out over air.and it's a timing or was a timing between TX to RX switching. If you increase the switching delay few ms it doesn't occur which is now how I have it set.

Great mode. Especially if you buy the license for the higher speed. Nice features that work well. mailbox, relay function....unfortunately very few seem to be using it. Almost everybody just doing signal reports with FT8. I like doing FT8 sometimes just to see how far I can get out but it gets boring. I do most SSB when mobile with 10 meters lately.

Only 384 views, and this is repetitive verbal diarrhoea. I am not pissed, I am a happy camper, you're a bitter guy regarding this radio. I too am a person that will say what is on their mind, I too can back up things that I say, and this radio is a champion, I am a dxer, I use it daily, on HF/8/6/5/4/2M bands and 100w. I don't need the pure tone or whatever that crap is. I work DX daily. So your opinion is quite blinkered, getting caught up on this duplex rubbish, you won't work anymore dx.. So get over it... There are many and I mean many people happy with this radio, you really need to build a bridge. Move on, and stick to the herpes. No one really cares about full duplex!

My recent advice is I'd stay away. There hasn't been much improvements in the software since I did that video. They're still missing full duplex and other things that they've promised and it really seems dead in the water. I sold my son to DX months ago and went with another SDR.

When ever I need a good laugh, I listen to the group on 3.999! Oh, your 59+ 20 here tonight. Spending hundreds of dollars for equipment between the microphone and rig, for perhaps 4kHz of audio! You just need a microphone! Place the bandwidth of your SDR rigs from 3 to 4kHz, and you will hear very little energy in that bandwidth (when you have audio set to 4kHz)! Splatter comes from over driving an amplifier, or not having the mic audio set correctly... it can happen using any rig!
@n8sdr473
@n8sdr473 9 ай бұрын
I'm not sure what your using but 0:04 there is energy in the set bandwidths of those running 4k even more. It is easily seen in the video of those who are capable of 4k. There's a few in that group who can only run 3.2/3.5 so perhaps those are the ones you're referring to , watching the video you can easily see engry out to 4k on the ones with rigs capable of that tx bandwidth. I'll agree that many of them spend a crap load on other mics and equipment etc. I've taken the cheaper mic route less than $80 and one box for audio requirements simple effective and works.

Purchased a HL2 today. If you can try opening up both receivers on the sun and set vfo 2 on 2 meter while vfo 1 is on hf. while setting the freq on 145.000 I'm hearing national time beacon. If I switch vfo 1 to 2 meter it corrects itself.

NOTE: the version of Thetis I am using which has the option for Remote use is a modified version for the Hermes Lite 2 rigs, Unless Ritchie or someone updating the standard version (aka Ritchie's versions) adds this option, it is currently only available in Reid's MI0BOT HL2 Beta 5 Thetis version- Connecting Thetis HL2 Beta 5 remotely Connect your HL2 or HL2+ to your router (HL2 or HL2+ needs to be seen by your router) On your Router you will need to open the correct port- this port also needs to be pointed to the IP address of your HL2 or HL2+ (the default is 1024 however you can specify another and I would suggest you do) Using Thetis on the side you are remoting from aka: Client side- you want the Public WAN IP address and Port number (port number used in the above step) Use the STATIC IP option BOX for the above settings check the BOX to USE STATIC IP address, UNCHECK the LIMIT SUBNET BOX Reid does suggest the following as well on the CLIENT-SIDE setting within Thetis: Sample Rate set to 4800 and set the TX Latency to 70ms and the PTT delay to 30ms. Rember this is still in testing and things may change, also remember your Internet at both locations will play a role in success as well.

Hello sir, yes there are a few options, personally I have never used one, I would ask on the Hermes Lite Google group- groups.google.com/g/hermes-lite to see what users there prefer- but unlike EESDR Ecoders I think there are many more options and at less cost for Thetis and a HL2 - one such mentioned in this video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/goXQZ5isq5imrc0 . I would think any Ecoder that works with PowerSDR would function in Thetis as well. Wish I could be of more help to you.
