Hello, greetings. I'm new here.
My little Hermes was working correctly until last night.
I'll tell you a little about what happened.
With Thetis, it had been working for over a year without any problems.
But this past Friday, I was at the radio club. When I arrived, some colleagues were configuring the Hermes with a software that was new to me, SPARKSDR. I took note of the name and decided to install it on my PC. It worked for a few hours, and I even configured it for FT8.
And I made a couple of contacts. I noticed that every time I had to restart the PC, I lost the bias settings. I made the adjustments using SPRKSDR. After several tests, I shut down and went to dinner with the family. When I turned it on after a few hours, I realized that when I ran SPARKSDR, the power button symbol didn't appear. At first, I thought everything was misconfigured and I couldn't run it. I closed it and ran THETIS. To my surprise, I get a network connection error. I check that it's on and see that it can't connect to the home network.
I'll describe what I see:
Network cable connected and Hermes on
LNK LED on steady
ACT LED flashes occasionally
RUN/CLK LED flashes
TX/IP LED flashes
ADC 75/SPD LED on
100/HW LED on.
I'm shocked because I don't understand what could have happened.
If anyone knows or has any idea what could have happened, I would be very grateful. If not, my little giant would remain as decoration.
Thank you.
