I just got my Xeigu XPA125B working with HL2. It's following the bands great thanks to Ramon KP4RX.

One issue I have is that on 80M, I tend to overdrive the amp. But the drive on Thetis is set all the way down. Is there a way, perhaps in the settings, to make the drive on 80M even less?

thank you and 73

Besides using the 'Drive' slider, you can lower the PA Gain setting in Setup (it's in percent so experiment a little)...

I would like to go into a little more detail and add to Nigel's comment: I set the main slider on the front end to max. I then make an individual setting for each band in the menu.(see Nigel's screenshot) In the event of accidental adjustment, it is only possible to drive too little power, but never with too much power. For me and in case of remote, kinda insurance....
