It's all about the Software

Max, many thanks for all the hints. I found a fix for my problem 1. I found my microphone (a Blue Snowball USB mike) to be set at 48 ksamples/s as were my speakers in Windows 10, so nothing wrong there - BUT ... 2. I found normal mic operation returned when I set the mike to be 'Shared' under Audio ...

I upgraded from 32 bit Windows 7 to 64 bit Windows 10 in the summer. I can still boot up either. My hardware is:- I7 desktop with old GeForce GT 450 dual monitor gpu. Hermes Lite 2 driving an XPA125B 100W linear. My recording tests today off Hack Green show:- SDR Console 3.1 or 3.2 on Windows 10 - r...

Max, I've upgraded gateware to 73.2 and am running v3.1 build 2572 again. I use a wired LAN with no extra switches - a very simple set up. My latency settings are as per yours - the default ones - so they could be extended if need be. Come to think of it, I have had very infrequent disturbance to th...

I'll look into updating gateware as my HL2 is running version 72.8 as loaded by Makerfabs, Jan 2021.

Hi Max, Many thanks for the tips. However, I don't get any relay chatter with version 3.1 build 2320 published Aug 3 2021, which I've gone back to. The problem in my case isn't RF feedback. I'm running an i7 computer with 32 bit windows. Loading is reported CPU 2% GPU 12.5%, so plenty of spare proce...

I've reloaded 2022-04-12 and been transmitting on and off into a dummy load for a while. I can't get it to fail as I reported, although on the air I've experienced it twice. I get the feeling it has to do with how many other programs are running as well as SDR Console. When running by itself, no sig...

Hardware:- Hermes Lite 2 with firmware 72.8 Software:- Windows 7 Home 32 bit SDR Console compiled on 2022-04-12 Symptom:- Maybe after one or two transmissions, on going to transmit, Hermes Lite relays chatter continuously, no transmit output. On going back to receive, normal operation. No power out ...

Hardware: Hermes Lite 2 with Windows 7 32 bit computer Software: SDR Console version 3.1 build 2320 Issue: Both sides of a conversation only get recorded if in the *** Options -> Hermes Lite window -> Tx Options -> Mute Rx check box is left unchecked. With Mute Rx checked, only silence is recorded d...

Software: SDR console ver 3.1 build 2320 Hardware: Hermes-Lite 2, 32 bit Windows 7 computer Problem: After keying the voice keyer and then cancelling it, the scroll wheel no longer fine tunes the radio frequency. However, left mouse will step change the frequency. Get around: Cycling either Sync RX ...

Trying to set the standing current at 1A on this amplifier kit. At about 240mA, the current rises uncontrollably to 8A. Temporarily connecting a diode detector to one of the transistor drains it detects 65v dc - oscillation. I've terminated input and output with 50 ohm. Has anyone found a fix for th...
