Subject: Request for Optimal Thetis Settings & Database File for Hermes-Lite 2 (Newbie / 7Z1BM)

Hello everyone,

This is Waleed, 7Z1BM from Saudi Arabia.

I’ve been using my Hermes-Lite 2 with the Thetis software for about two months now. As a beginner with this setup, I’m trying to optimize my configuration for both general operations and TX/RX audio quality, but I haven't been able to achieve the desired results yet.

Could anyone kindly share an optimized database.xml setup file or recommend the best default settings/profiles for SSB operation with HL2 in Thetis? Any guides, DSP/EQ recommendations, or links to proven audio profiles would be greatly appreciated.

Note: English is not my primary language, so I am using AI translation tools to communicate and follow your advice.

Thank you very much for your time and help!

73, Waleed (7Z1BM)

Hi Lindsay,

Thank you very much for sharing the details and the link!

I really appreciate the recommendation. Kurt (ON7OFF) has some fantastic resources, and using his database as a starting point sounds like a great idea. I will definitely look into his tips and build upon it as I refine my setup.

Best regards and 73, Waleed
