New HL2 user transmit issue

Volker E. <volker....@googlemail.com>: Jan 19 09:48PM -0800 Hi,   i have the same issue specially on 40m. When i lower the power for tuning, the problem most time is gone. You can set the power for tuning settings in Thetis -> setup -> transmit -> tune section   I have no idea why this happens....   73 Volker, DL1VE     KC3KOP schrieb am Samstag, 17.

Volker E. <volker....@googlemail.com>: Jan 19 11:36PM -0800 I have an idea.... How much voltage do you use? Maybe low voltage can be the problem. When i use my lifepo and the voltage drops to 12V i get often this problem. I think with the power supply and 13.8V i never had this issue.   73 Volker, DL1VE   Volker E. schrieb am Dienstag, 20.

KC3KOP <iaru...@gmail.com>: Jan 20 07:25PM -0800 Thank You for the Reply. I have adjusted the Tuning Power, I have it backed down in hopes that this issues does not ruin the board. I will work on trying a different power supply. At this point I am losing faith that this will solve it. I spent the weekend running my Flex at 100w off the same power supply. I measure 13.70VDC the plug. Center pin is positive. I have installed inline 3A fuses between the power supply and the hermes.   Thank you for the help 73 Ian On Tuesday, January 20, 2026 at 12:48:03 AM UTC-5 Volker E. wrote:

Januar 2026 um 20:01:39 UTC+1:   Hello everyone,   My name is Ian - KC3KOP. I purchased the HL2 back in December 2025. I believe the T/R relay is buzzing horribly. This happens when I go into a dummy load or antenna. I have shut off the PA and tested for power at RF1. I currently do not have a meter to read that low accurately, but my meter on 5W range does have meter deflection when I put the HL2 in transmit. I have tried SDR console, SparkSDR and Thetis software so far with no success. I have tried the software on 3 different machines with different Ethernet cords. I plugged them in straight to the computer and a then into a network switch. With some basic network logging, the HL2 is using 44Mbps running 192k sample rate. I have pinged the HL2 and the following:   32bytes of data sent, time less than 1ms TTL=128   I will take it apart this weekend and take pictures of the board. I do have a microscope with a camera so I can take picture of an area if needed.       I followed the instructions in this link https://github.com/softerhardware/Hermes-Lite2/wiki/Hardware and did not find any problems.       This is my first time posting and I am following tests and instructions from these links   https://github.com/softerhardware/Hermes-Lite2/wiki/Repair   https://github.com/softerhardware/Hermes-Lite2/wiki/No-Transmit       YouTube links to my Hermes Lite transmit issue.   Thetis https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6F5svpJnh8w   Spark SDR https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEtFsAXg_-E   Thank You for any help   73   Ian – KC3KOP   -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Hermes-Lite" group.
