Hermes Lite 2 - np10

[PE3ES / F4VTQ]

I have been running SparkSDR 2.0.992.0 for a long time. Today I moved the radio from 1 switch on my network to another switch. When trying to run from the same Ubuntu pc that had it already running strange things happen.

It is not showing ip 192.168.1.xxx as usual but only 127.0.0.1 Hermes Lite np10. I had noticed that appearing since some of the last restarts connected to the first switch but that was always accompanied by the normal ip address as well.

I do not find ay setting options for N2ADR that I did expect.

I have a higher than normal ep6

I can nowhere find a setting for auto RF gain that I do remember though.

It is decoding on many bands for FT8 and WSPR.

And after a restart of SparkSDR it is now again showing the normal ip address, but now I do not see any signal in the spectrum anymore.

On Windows with latest version 995 it shows the normal ip address and does not start the radio/spectrum.

No clue what is going on, so any pointers would be very much appreciated.

Hypothesis: a long utp cable is not helpful in running a Hermes lite v2
