Hermes Lite 2 problem using Quisk

[Art Olson]

Hello

I purchased an HL2 a few weeks ago and finishing assembling last Thursday. Installed quisk on my win PC and have been letting "cook" on receive only. This afternoon the TX and both ADc led turned off. I powered it down and repowered and the IP light and run flashed rapidly. No IP on quisk. I again removed power and let it set for a while then powered up and all the LEDs are on in the idle mode. I bring up quisk, the HL2 has an IP but the IP and both ADC leds are off. I can change bands and receive audio. Hopefully a pointer or two would be helpful.  suggestions appreciated

Other than the loss of IP address event, it sounds like it is working properly.

 

Unless you have a strong receive signal, the ADC lights would be off.  When powered on, connected, and in RX, the TX light will be OFF, ON only when connected and in TX. 

 

You did not mention the RUN/CLK LED status but it would normally be ON when connected.  So with RUN ON and the other 3 OFF while connected and in RX, this can be a normal scenario.  TX comes in in TX, ADC lights come on at 75% and 100% of ADC input limit when you have strong enough RX signal.  

 

If you know you have strong RX signals and the ADC lights are off, try increasing your RX gain control in your SDR app.  There are several threads covering LNA settings in various SDR apps.   Also be sure you have the right LPF filters for each band configured (The N2ADR filter board config for most people).
