Here is the final release of v2.10.3.11 of Thetis for HL2.
This release contains the database manager. If you have other Anan radios, this release will work with them, but you must define separate databases and select the correct database with the -dbid: option. This release creates the shortcut with -dbid:HL2. As the official release of Thetis for the Anan series of radios is not HL2 aware, there may be issues if you try to use the official Thetis with a database that is HL2 aware. Please back up your databases.
There is no need for the official Thetis release to be installed before this release. If you have the official release installed, this release will not overwrite it.
No warranty or guarantee, use at your own risk. Do a backup of your current Thetis database just in case and ensure correct power output.
I remember reading several months ago that someone had Thetis running on Lenix using Wine. I am trying to get off Windows and have built a Lenix Mint computer using Mint 2.2 and the most up to date of Wine 17.?
I would like to talk with anyone usiing Thetis on Wine on Lenix Mint or other distro.

Hi Guys,
I’ll try to explain what I’ve discovered about using multiple databases. Please note that I have not looked at the Thetis code. I have just looked around and surmised the following.:
1. When you run Reid’s install, it created 2 Desktop shortcuts. There are called Thetis-64 (the Anan one) and Thetis-HL2 (obviously the HL-2 one. They differer by the HL-2 one having the parameter -dbid:HL2. The Thetis-64 has no dbid parameter. They both execute the Thetis program located in "C:\Program Files\OpenHPSDR\Thetis-HL2\".
2. When the program starts, it looks in C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\OpenHPSDR\Thetis-x64\DB\ for a file named XX-dbman_settings.json where XX is equal to the dbid parameter specified in the shortcut that was executed. If no dbid was specified, XX is blank. So it looks in dbman_settings.json for the Anan and HL2_dbman_settings.json for the HL2. Inside this file is the reference to the GUID of the correct database. For example
a. "ActiveDB_GUID": "9476c169-be15-481b-ac2a-e04f0594cd5f",
b. "ActiveDB_File": "9476c169-be15-481b-ac2a-e04f0594cd5f\\database.xml"
3. That GUID is the name of the folder with the correct database information. Inside that folder is the actual database.
4. Although this seems overly complicated, it allows for having as many DB definitions as you want and having multiple versions of databases for each definition. Thus you could have whole sets of databases for an Anan 7000, an Anan 10E and multipl HL-2’s and for each one, as many backups as you wish.
Hope this helps.(and I also hope it’s accurate. Hi hi.)

Hi Ken,
Thanks for the explanation. I knew it was more complicated than you would think at first glance with the -dbid:HL2. If you don't mind, I'll try and get this information out to more people by putting it on the Discord server.
Cheers
