I Bought a Hermes Lite 2 SDR - NOW WHAT!?

[@gregtroubles4597]

Now thats the easy part...... most challenges are new owners struggle to follow excellent videos on setting up audio and operation... I have two Hermes Lite 2 radios one in shack and another in mobile.....when set uo correctly ohhh my..... not many radios available in the market place have any advantages over the Hermes Lite 2 with Thetis.... I just love em!

[@TheSmokinApe]

Glad to see it arrived, woooohooo!

[@thehamjazz]

Woohooo thanks Ape buddy. It’s a blast - thanks for dropping by buddy 👍🍻🙏

[@DonzLockz]

Awesome, I would be super excited too, matey. :) I'll be getting one soon and can play along. Woohoo.😊 73

Hi Simon, nice radio kit. No wonder your are excited. Will you be posting a demonstration of a on air test with the tranciever? Techminds has built a 50 watt kit amplifier for his. Liked you livestream with your brother. Happy Christmas Simon David M0DUU

[@seandwyer3598]

Really looking forward to seeing you hook this up with the amp and then do some POTA!

Been using the HL2+ now with the Hardrock 50 Amplifier for a couple of years. The combo is pretty amazing. Cheers, VE3IK. .

[@thehamjazz]

Hey Brian, I love the HL2 combo. It's just so fun playing around with the different 'skins' and the awesome NR filters. Cheers buddy. Thanks for leaving a comment.

[@GoAmateurRadio]

We all like to work portable primarily, but how’s the Hermes Lite working for you? What do you think after a year?

[@johnpeterson7264]

Woo hooo ! I just got my kit - along with the plus board so getting ready to get it all together . Is there a special version of thetis for Hermes ?

[@thehamjazz]

Wooohoooo congrats John that’s awesome buddy - you’ll love it. I would suggest you join the Hermes’ lite 2 group on Facebook. Lots of awesome information there and lots of “how to’s” for pretty much anything. If you can email me mate at [e-mail] I can send you a start up sheet pdf that my buddy Chris Digital Analogue Ham sent me it really helped 👍 cheers buddy

[@mauriceaustin3442]

awesome video as usual. Should be fun to see how it works.

[@Bilbo56]

I know you’re building that in Oz, however, it’s a 3 mm screw for people in other parts of the world I don’t know whether you knew, but there should’ve been heat sinks in that package too. Did you install those onto the chips? Also did you ever find out what the jumper wire was for because not many people seem to know what it is and I still don’t appreciate it if you do know and let me know thank you enjoyed watching how you did it. I did mine a couple years ago and I’m registered blind if I can do it then anyone can

[@iowahank1]

On my want list for next year.

[@che59v]

Next video might be software and how to use? Mars mode? and so much more, Merry Xmas from OZ

[@thehamjazz]

You betcha mate thanks for dropping by and leaving a comment. This is a fabulously fun journey Merry Christmas mate - say g’day to Oz for me 👍🍻

[@che59v]

@@thehamjazz All i could say it's going to be a HOT-HOT Xmas, but you knew that. lol 73 from Applethorpe QLD

[@mikesmithg0rfd356]

thank you

[@FEPLabsRadio]

Outstanding mate! You gonna POTA with this bad boy?

[@thehamjazz]

Wooohoooo you betcha buddy! POTA eye candy Jim buddy. 👍🍻thanks for dropping by my pal

[@conchd]

What’s the total out of pocket?

[@hamradiomobile]

brilliant m8, first video I have seen with this unit being made up. :-) 73 Duncan

[@GoAmateurRadio]

How do you like the Hermes Lite 2? Thinking of getting one but the thing holding me back is I prefer portable operations.

[@arthurgumbus3969]

Just wondering what the "Jumper Wire" used for? I did not see you install that wire anywhere??

[@ronlewkowicz9656]

On older builds some would use this to rewind T3 to obtain more TX power. It's no longer necessary and they now no longer even include it in the package.

[@fredsongracianopy4tn]

AMIGO ONDE COMPROU ESSE KIT????VC TEM O LINK???

[@JReed305]

Welcome to the Hermes Lite 2 club Woohoo!

[@KD9ZHF]

So this is a Sdr receiver only? Not a transceiver?

[@conchd]

Wohooo!

[@richardwright1819]

nice

[@elanpaim33]

your AGC is way to high set it to 65 or so then it will work even better no noise vy 73

[@thehamjazz]

Thanks for your comment buddy. I LOVE the Hermes Lite - and to have an auto AGC is crazy cool! Thanks for your suggestion, I'm used to my Flex Radio that has a manual AGC, not auto. Cheers buddy and thanks for watching

[@joefish6091]

One retailer is trying to sell Hermes units for 875 USD on ebay, lmao Either the retailer is greedy or ebay doing the Amazon sucker tax (for themselves) thing.

5 watts, work the world...😅
