Power Meter Calibration Thetis 2.9.0.8 - Yes I know but I've tried everything

I've only had Hermes operational for a few days

I know there has been lots about this but I can't get near what my SmΩrf meter shows. It can literally measure mw to KW.

The add on meters in Thetis look nice but they just get pinned on TX. Should show roughly 5W

This is the last piece of the puzzle I think, S-meter seems ok now I've calibrated that in the software.

Appreciate a push in the right direction

Hi Cliff,

Are you using the HL2 version of Thetis from Reid?

There are settings for the meter’s maximum indicated power from memory. If you have those settings too low the meters will be pinned.

Without checking I think I set the crossed meter to 10w.

Yes that's the version I am using, I have got the meters a bit closer playing with the 100W settings in Thetis but still no where near.

SparkSDR seems spot on but that's another best

Hi Phil,

Yes I have changed the meter settings and as I mentioned earlier I have got it closer playing with the 100W meter settings in Thetis.
