Initial startup no LEDS Relay K2 clicking

[Mark Gorlinsky]

Today I applied 12v 2A power the my Hermeslite 2, 12v 2A

No LEDS blinked at all and the relay K2 clicks.

That's all I got.

Any suggestions?

Sounds like a power supply issue. If using a wall wart type I've seen them go bad. Try another supply, preferably with the same or higher current rating.

While your question probably belong in another thread, since this one is about no LEDs and relay clicking, I saw your post and have one suggestion. Try different software - Quisk or Sparksdr and see either works any differently after configuring them for your Hermes Lite 2. If they do, I suggest posting a question in a new thread asking about Thetis. I don't run Windows here and have used Thetis in a while so can't help with that software. Quisk and Sparksdr both work on Windows as well as Linux. While this sounds like a software issue, or perhaps a Windows issue, if it is a hardware issue see the "Troubleshooting" section (menu on the right) at https://github.com/softerhardware/Hermes-Lite2/wiki for some tips.

Hi Mark,

Is the receiver working? It is unclear if no LEDs means never or only during transmit.

If any LEDs are on during receive, which ones are they?

If you just power on the unit without any ethernet, key or antenna connected, do any of the 4 red LEDs light?

What voltages do you measure at each of the points on this wiki page? The wiki page describes testing for shorts, but please measure the voltage at each of these points relative to ground with power applied to the HL2.
