v2.10.3.13

• [add] audio stream over TCI support added

• [add] IQ stream over TCI support added

• [add] full CW macro support added to TCI used by software such as SDC from Yuri UT4LW

• [add] new radio discovery and networking system/config added to setup. The old method has been removed. Your old radio IP settings will be lost if you have those set

• [add] Network Settings documentation pdf added for the change network settings. Can be found in shortcuts, or via the About box manual links

• [add] dragging the spectrum to cause DDC centre frequency changes will attempt to realign the waterfall data to limit waterfall smearing. The waterfall is put to sleep whilst fft bins are emptying or refilling. The sleep time varies depending on hardware sample rate and fft size. There may be up to a 4 pixel alignment error, this is unavoidable do to the nature of power spread into fft bins and the subsequent pixel columns

• [add] entirely new recording/playback system added. New tab in Setup->Audio->Recording. New container gadget item, voice record/play, and cat support. Cat commands :

  zzjs; // stops any playback / record in progress
  zzjr; // returns zzjr1; if a recording is in progress zzjr0; otherwise
  zzjp; // returns zzjp1; if a playback is in progress zzjp0; otherwise
  zzjq; // returns zzjq1; if play or record is in progress, zzjq0; otherwise

  ZZJRxynnnq; // make a recording to AudioStorageFolder\cat
  x = receiver 1 or 2
  y = 0 is via WDSP(radio), 1 is via PC
  nnn = 001 to 128 slot recording number. To record to slot 5 use 005
  q = 0 to use temporary recording limitation, 1 to ignore them

  ZZJPxynnnqggg; // make a playback from AudioStorageFolder\cat
  x = receiver 1 or 2
  y = 0 is via WDSP(radio), 1 is via PC
  nnn = 001 to 128 slot recording number. To play slot 5 use 005
  q = 0 to use temporary playback limitation, 1 to ignore them
  ggg = gain adjust if played back through WDSP(radio). If PC playback it still needs to be provided but is ignored. Format must be -70 to +70. Zero needs to be +00 or -00

  ZZJQccccrnnn; // use the slot + settings from a voice record/play gadget item
  cccc = 4char id
  r = 0 to playback, 1 to record (a fast record so ui will return to play when done)
  nnn = 001 to # of slots used by gadget item. eg 005 to use slot five

• [add] new 5/10/18 band Parametric EQ ui for TX and RX eq, with Q factor. Mouse wheel adjusts Q, click on a node and drag it

• [add] new 5/10/18 band EQ Parametric EQ ui for CFC, with Q factor. Mouse wheel adjusts Q, click on a node and drag it

• [add] flags can be shown on the TCI spots if a callsign can be attributed to a country. If information is provided in the JSON payload then it will take precedence. v3.0.4 Cluster TCI Bridge from OE3IDE will support this. Skimmers such as SDC which do not include JSON payload will have flags assigned if they can be recovered from the spotted callsign

• [add] timing labels on the waterfall, options in Setup->Appearance->General

• [add] protocol2 has had some extra ADC information added, the raw ADC max magnitude. There is a new meter item for this. The data will be used for full auto attenuation in later versions of Thetis. It is only supported by fpga fw v27 and p2papp v45 on the G2 at the moment, but may be available in other firmwares at a later date

• [add] now possible to select in/out channel pairs in cmASIO. Note: this must be done when the device is not currently being used. A restart of Thetis would then be required

• [add] now possible to select channel (both, left, right) for cmasio mic input

• [add] debug/test option to ignore ATT offset in displays and signal meters. Thetis identifies as an Icom !

• [add] bandwidth debug/test option to visualise the data in/out of Thetis

• [add] option for NR3 (RNnoise) to use a fixed gain for samples, the value of which is taken from VU3RDD's modified WDSP version

• [add] holding SHIFT when clicking an RX filter (main ui console or filter button container) will also set the TX filter. Note: the tx profile will be modified and will need saving if you want to keep this tx width at restart

• [add] TCI spots also shown on rx2

• [add] dark mode title bars + windows now applies to diversity form

• [add] you can now click on a diversity memory pin in the 'radar' to select it

• [fix] TCI server can now handle concatenated TCI commands

• [fix] if within 15 pixels of the top of RX1/RX2 display areas, the cursor changes to EW and you can drag left/right. Filter edges and bandstacks are now not considered in this area and as such dragging of the spectrum will occur if over a bandstack for example

• [fix] port + delay now validated for focusmaster, could cause crash if non numerics were entered

• [fix] n1mm spectral output should now follow band changes for both rx1 + rx2

v2.10.3.12 - Change Log

Additions

• [add] you can pick a directx device using -adaptor:# from the command line. Use Thetis.exe -help for more information
• [add] ability to load rnnoise model binary files added
• [add] added functionality to reposition 'lost' forms. This can be found in Setup->[Test->Reposition Forms]. Select the forms you want to move back to the primary monitor starting at 100, 100. The Z order of windows will not be changed so they may appear behind a window on the primary monitor
• [add] you can now hold CTRL+ALT+SHIFT when starting Thetis to show a message to allow you to reset the locations of Thetis console and Setup if they become lost. You can then use Setup->Tests->[Reposition Forms] for any others missing
• [add] %nr% and %rxn% added as script variables. %nr% returns NR number enabled 0-4, and %rxn% returns receiver number used by the container
• [add] it is now possible to use the condition of a led indicator to show/hide text overlay
• [add] new meter item, OtherButtons. Some buttons have icons associated with them. Also button style 13 uses active indicator colour for the text/icon colour. New [fix] option that ignores button size, and uses Scale instead. You can use ALT click drag to move buttons around, let go of click to drop them. SHIFT+ALT will swap two.
• [add] OtherButton items now has macro buttons. You can show/hide containers, send MMIO strings, run cat commands.
• [add] right clicking an OtherButton will show related setup if one exists
• [add] more legacy items can be hidden
• [add] it is now possible to save, load and duplicate containers. At the moment for various technical reasons it is a single container at a time. Note: items such as Led Indicator, WebImage will have their 4char(s) changed to prevent conflict if you were to re-import where they already exist. Meters that use %variables will also not display correctly if those variables are not present. You will have to edit them by hand. A warning is shown if a container being imported has a web image
• [add] variable picker for text overlay and led indicator items
• [add] it is now possible to set ID's for each receiver for N1MM waterfall data, in the network setup tab. This allows for two+ instances of Thetis (SO2R etc) to output data to N1MM
• [add] startup log can be shown. Option in Setup->Test
• [add] VAC and portAudio will now successfully use input devices that report only single input channels. Previously input required a device that reported two channels and would fail with certain USB headsets and USB dongles such as the Syba SD-CM-UAUD USB
• [add] option added in tci setup to force a CW spot to a specific sideband. See tooltips for more info
• [add] WDSP 1.27 post processing noise functionality added to NR2. Settings in Setup->DSP->NR/ANF
• [add] WDSP 1.29 adds 3 new CW APF types to the original Bi-Quad. These new types are Double Pole, Matched and Gaussian. A new button to cycle through them on the main CW ui panel has been added, setup options, cat command ZZAYn; where n=0 to 3, and 4 new midi command buttons to select each. Note: the button may not be part of your skin pack. The new button requires images btnAPF_type-0.png and btnAPF_type-1.png, these can be copied from chkCWAPFEnabled-0.png and chkCWAPFEnabled-1.png. See pdf available in about box manuals section for more info

Changes

• [change] migrated to Visual Studio 2026, and C/C++ runtime v145
• [change] changed ZZIS cat command so that it takes/returns the actual filter width and not the slider width position. ZZIS; will return ZZISxxxxx; where xxxxx is 0 padded filter width. ZZIS00500; will set filter width to 500HZ. Symmetrical modes such as AM, SAM will take the full size width, so ZZIS20000; will be +-10k on AM. Note. FilterWdithMode is switched to linear whilst this is applied
• [change] private scope added to in/out firewall rules when [Firewall Check] is used from Setup. Previously was only setting Domain + Public
• [change] reimplemented the code that ensures a form is on screen as there had been occurrences where a form had got 'lost'. Note. this will still fail if a monitor is turned off and windows thinks it is still available as a display surface
• [change] rework of samples provided to RNnoise to bring them into a range more suited to RNnoise. Handles lower signals better
• [change] broadcast kenwood AI messages are now flood controlled to a max rate of 1 message per 200ms
• [change] led indicator scripting has been totally reworked. Now a single script engine is used instead of one per led. Massive memory and performance improvements if you used lots of leds. Also, batches the re-compile until all leds are loaded
• [change] available meter items are listed alphabetically per rx/tx/special group
• [change] on DirectX errors RecreateTarget, DeviceRemoved and DeviceReset, the display engines will now attempt to restart, up to a total of 10 times
• [change] VFOsync re-work. Now has settings in Options-3 tab
• [change] show legacy meters has been changed to hide, to align with other options in Setup->Appearance->Legacy Items. May require you to reapply setting if you want them hidden
• [change] changes to the way meters are restored. Startup speed improvements for systems using lots of meters
• [change] multiple instance detection changed to use global mutex instead of scanning process list
• [change] impulse_cache.dat is removed if wisdom00 is rebuilt

Fixes

• [fix] filter command line args to strip any unexpected characters/unicode
• [fix] you can now enter values into the VAR1/VAR2 filters on the main console. Pressing enter or the box losing focus will set the value
• [fix] issue where low/high values would sometimes not be stored when using the filter configuration settings window/form
• [fix] changing a filter edge in the filter settings config window will now notify all delegates. Fixes issue where filter container would not update
• [fix] fixed a CAT tci/ip server issue where AI broadcast messages could get interleaved between a cat request and reply, which could cause issues for external systems that rely on a correct response, such as HamLib.
• [fix] cw auto mode switch will now not return to previous non cw mode if activated from cw. The return delay now works as expected
• [fix] text overlay now displays vfob mode correctly
• [fix] unnecessary recursive calling when setting PreampMode and AttenuatorData
• [fix] fixed issue where if rtty offset was being used and mode was set to DigL/U then a midi vfo change would cause incorrect frequency calculation (7.100.000 would become 71.000.000)
• [fix] updated to WDSP 1.28 + 1.29, 1.28 reverts the removal of fir filter caching, 1.29 adds new APF types
• [fix] fix where if a radio did not have an rx2 step att available it could prevent rx1 att/s-att setting from being recovered correctly at startup/radio model swap
• [fix] VOX will not ptt if MIC is disabled unless a vac is enabled and VOX uses MIC option is not enabled
• [fix] RIT will not cause spectral overlays such as notches and band stack overlays to move when enabled/disabled after a startup
• [fix] VAC tx/rx gains now restored from TX profile. Previously those TX profile settings were getting overridden by values recovered into the main console UI at startup

Thetis v2.10.3.11 Release

Thetis v2.10.3.11 - Release

Whilst a number of things have been fixed and added since v2.10.3.9 it might be worth watching the highlights of the changes in v2.10.3.9 over on YouTube : WATCH HERE

This release includes two new noise reduction methods, NR3 and NR4. See change log below. Note: There is a specific discord channel to chat about the noise reduction solutions Here

IMPORTANT NOTE: It is worth making a backup of your DB before installing this version. It is also worth un-installing previous Thetis installs using Add/Remove Programs before installing this version.

(Note: Uninstalling via Add/Remove Programs will leave your database intact. You don't need to take any specific action beyond backing it up if required. Thetis will handle the database appropriately.)

Tip: You can always access these release notes through the button in the About box. The full change log is also available there.

v2.10.3.11 - Change Log

• [add] two new noise reduction methods added, NR3 and NR4. When starting up this version for the first time if NR was enabled, will now be set to off. Settings in the normal NR settings page of Setup
  NR3 - RNnoise - A noise suppression library based on a recurrent neural network. Latest code here - https://gitlab.xiph.org/xiph/rnnoise . More info here - https://arxiv.org/pdf/1709.08243.pdf
  NR4 - SpectrumBleach - libspecbleach - This library is based on the algorithms that were used in noise-repellent. Source here - https://github.com/lucianodato/libspecbleach . More info here - https://github.com/lucianodato/noise-repellent/wiki
• [add] cat commands ZZNE and ZZNF (rx1+rx2) added to set/get NR config for each receiver. eg ZZNE; will return 0 if off, or 3 if NR3 selected. ZZNE4; will select NR4
• [add] midi commands added to select NR3 NR4
• [add] cat commands ZZNG and ZZNH (rx1+rx2) added to set/get NR4 reduction amount as a percentage. eg ZZNG; will return 000 for 0dB, or 100 for 20dB. ZZNG050; will set NR4 reduction to 10dB. Note, must pad to 3 000
• [add] midi commands added to assign rx1/rx2 NR4 reduction amount to a knob/slider
• [add] override colour for flashing spot
• [add] keyword option added to finder. It will split the search by the spaces and treat those as keywords. It will return any entry where all of those keywords exist
• [add] CATstructs.xml data added to finder. You can also use the search term 'catcommand' to just return cat commands and especially useful with the keywords option
• [change] updated PortAudio from existing Release 19.7.0 to the latest code as of 29/06/25. Version number has not changed. Last commit was 13/06/25 #87e35e7 in the version now used
• [change] for new TCI spots without the [json] tag they will always flash for 2 mins if the option is selected. If the spot comes in again and already exists in the display then it will not flash if this 2 min has elapsed
• [change] spot time is not updated if another spot arrives with the same data and that spot is currently being displayed

• [change] rx filter can now be +-20kHz wide to mirror TX filter widths. Shift also needs to be set as that will (at the moment) imply a width limit
• [change] WDSP has had some optimisations and caching added. For example if you change the filter size to something that has been calculated before it will be much faster the second time. Has improved start up time, mode switching etc etc.
• [change] WDSP updated to version 1.26.

• [fix] the sub-receiver now respects the main receiver’s mute state, fixing an issue where sub-receiver audio could still be heard even when the main receiver was muted
• [fix] serial ports that are not of COMnn format now do not causes errors. If a serial port is for example name COMB13, then it will not be able to be used
• [fix] notch popup window will be shifted so that it is visible when close to the edge of a screen
• [fix] fix filter width crash under certain conditions in the filter config form
• [fix] fix issues where adc overload has caused an rx attenuation to be applied and the band has been changed before the attenuation has been removed
• [fix] serial keying cw will now only mox when in SEMI mode
• [fix] rx2 on/off via midi/cat will now cause rx2 meter containers to hide/show
• [fix] volt sens fix for G2, would cause an error log from time to time
• [fix] fix for tcpip cat server where if a multiple cat message arrived, then only the first would be processed

Thetis v2.10.3.9 Release

Thetis v2.10.3.9 - Final Release

Update: A small issue was found when changing mode from CW. The sidetone state was lost. The install files below have been updated to 2.10.3.9a. Note: the [a] will not be in the title bar or info. If you use CW just download and install it over the top of 2.10.3.9 if you have already installed.

Explore the highlights of this version over on YouTube : WATCH HERE

IMPORTANT NOTE: It is worth making a backup of your DB before installing this version. It is also worth un-installing previous Thetis installs using Add/Remove Programs before installing this version.

(Note: Uninstalling via Add/Remove Programs will leave your database intact. You don't need to take any specific action beyond backing it up if required. Thetis will handle the database appropriately.)

Tip: You can always access these release notes through the button in the About box. The full change log is also available there.

• [add] ui popups during the wdsp wisdom00 file generation. Also notified if wisdom file is older than 3 months at startup
• [add] FPS profiler in Setup->Tests. Use on a fresh database, with just region, model, and ip configured, so that you can connect + power up the radio through Thetis. Leave window position/size and do not change any settings
• [add] options to cache WDSP filter impulse data in Setup-DSP. Can also store this data to a .dat file. Read the tool tips. Improves mode switch speed and Thetis start up time
• [add] tci spot message now supports far more modes
• [add] defaults and 'stealth' mode for two tone frequencies in setup->tests

• [add] fpga and p2app version shown in titlebar and setup if using a G2 with p2app v39 or later
• [add] a TCI spot message can provide additional info via json data. Cluster-TCI-Bridge by OE3IDE supports this currently. Details here here : 6174cac
• [add] additional info is shown on a TCI spot popup if available
• [add] CTRL+right click on a TCI will show the related HamQTH page. Right click will show QRZ, this is unchanged
• [change] exporting a tx profile will now ask for destination location and filename. It will complain if filename already exists
• [change] restored step attenuator RX1 if HERMES is used. Unsure why I disabled it a few years ago
• [change] the bespoke TCI command Tx frequency has changed back to the following as per the TCI protocol, tx_frequency:3700000; .There is now a bespoke Thetis message also sent out at the same time, tx_frequency_thetis:3700000,b80m,false,false;
• [change] refactor serial port pin change detection code for slight performance improvements
• [change] display vsync defaulted to on for new databases. I would advise turning this on if not already

• [change] rx filter can now be +-20kHz wide to mirror TX filter widths. Shift also needs to be set as that will (at the moment) imply a width limit
• [change] WDSP has had some optimisations and caching added. For example if you change the filter size to something that has been calculated before it will be much faster the second time. Has improved start up time, mode switching etc etc.
• [change] WDSP updated to version 1.26.
• [change] meter/gadget containers changes so that each can be set to use rx1 or tx2 data (future proofing)
• [change] setup-display-accurate frame timing has been set to off and removed from the ui. Now only used in testing/development

• [fix] fixed rare out of bounds issue in memory ScheduleUpdate
• [fix] cat IF command fix where an error (O;) message would be returned if an unsupported TuneStep was in use. This bug has existed since 25/02/2007
• [fix] mode buttons when in collapsed mode should now work again when Thetis is first launched
• [fix] when running multiple instances of Thetis, closing down others may cause issues with PerformaceCounter/CpuLoad display, resulting in endless error logs. This has been resolved
• [fix] fixed wave record crash if Windows [Controlled folder access] is turned on. You have to add Thetis.exe to the [Allow an app through Controlled folder access] list if you want to use the wave record when [Controlled folder access] is turned on
• [fix] the sub-receiver now respects the main receiver’s mute state, fixing an issue where sub-receiver audio could still be heard even when the main receiver was muted
• [fix] serial ports that are not of COMnn format now do not causes errors. If a serial port is for example name COMB13, then it will not be able to be used
• [fix] notch popup window will be shifted so that it is visible when close to the edge of a screen
• [fix] fix filter width crash under certain conditions in the filter config form
• [fix] fix issues where adc overload has caused an rx attenuation to be applied and the band has been changed before the attenuation has been removed
• [fix] serial keying cw will now only mox when in SEMI mode
• [fix] rx2 on/off via midi/cat will now cause rx2 meter containers to hide/show
• [fix] volt sens fix for G2, would cause an error log from time to time
• [fix] fix for tcpip cat server where if a multiple cat message arrived, then only the first would be processed
• [fix] simulated tci spot clicks using bespoke TCI message [spot_simulate_click] now also sends out [rx_clicked_on_spot] defaulted to rx1 and vfoa

• [fix] pulse on waterfall has been minimised when using NF compensation with the waterfall AGC
• [fix] cwu above 10mhz will now be used by tciserver on restart if configured to do so
• [fix] s-att/att state will behave as expected when the adcs are linked, and rx2 was previously saved with a different state to rx1. If the adc's are linked then RX2 will use setting from RX1
• [fix] antenna button box now uses tx band to determine antenna. Now operates as expected when running a x-band transmit
• [fix] issue where WWV was selected when in a ham band the associated selected rx antenna would not be shown correctly in the antenna button box when the switch to the WWV was made
• [fix] a RedPitaya 'work around' has been added to fix issue where tx attenuation had no effect. It seems the RP firmware needs RX attenuation to be adjusted, unlike the Anan's etc. Note: Radio Model needs to be Red Pitaya for this to take effect
• [fix] infrequent access violation and crash/shutdown prevented when enabling and disabling VACs via TCI (line_...

However, due to the edge shape, a 15ms total edge yields about 5ms in the range of 10% - 90% amplitude, i.e., the 15ms number is a bit misleading.
• [add] New NR features: (1) the "Trained" gain method as described below, (2) an alternative Noise Power Estimation method called "NSTAT" which should have a faster response to changing noise levels, and (3) code added in the AE Filter that removes an annoying rumble that could occasionally occur.
• ["Trained"] The new "Trained" NR has a file (zetaHat.bin). It is a data file that contains the essential information extracted from "training" the algorithm.

• [add] shift left click on SPLIT in the vfo will toggle QSPLIT, only when rx2 is off
• [add] hold shift when clicking setup from the menu strip to show setup. Especially useful if one extra mouse click is too much for you
• [add] support for tci msg line_out_start:0; line_out_stop:0; which have been repurposed to control vac1 on/off, support for tci msg line_out_start:1; line_out_stop:1; which have been repurposed to control vac2 on/off
• [add] show container on rx/tx options
• [add] lock container to prevent removal, and to prevent add/remove of items. You can still adjust items
• [add] dark mode option added to BsdWorld urls in Web Image item

Thetis v2.10.3.6 Release Candidate 3

Release Candidate 3 Build for 2.10.3.6

This is a release candidate build for 2.10.3.6. It might be taken down at any time, and/or will probably get replaced without warning. The titlebar will show [rc3]. Please read the change log below as there are major changes to Thetis in this release, such as new database management. There will be no further feature additions to 2.10.3.6, only bug fixes if necessary and new release candidates as required.

Please uninstall any previous version, before installing this version

(note: uninstalling using add/remove programs, leaves behind your database and does not remove it. You don't need to do anything with this, other than taking a backup perhaps, as Thetis should update/use appropriately)

UPDATE: The CW issue has been resolved for Protocol 2. It requires a firmware update and this modified version of Thetis. Please see the ApacheLab community forums here

Note: You can revisit these release notes by clicking the button in the setup form within the General -> H/W Select tab.

Please report any issue over on GitHub here.

v2.10.3.6 Change Log - Release Candidate 3 (rc3) - includes rc1+rc2 changes

• [add] option to auto turn off the radio when DB manager is requested to help users that have the power button unavailable. (collapsed view, no top tools and use autostart)
• [fix] history left axis would incorrectly limit min to -100.0 on startup
• [fix] changed legacy spot telnet connect to use UInt16 (unsigned 16 bit) for port number allowing 0-65535. Previously it used signed 16 bit preventing any port over 32767 from being used

• [fix] fixed crash when removing MultiMeter I/O TCPClient
• [change] re-worked minimise/restore code for meter containers
• [change] variable cw edge length has been disabled in the Dsp-CW settings (only utilised by the G2). This is now fixed at 9ms for the DL1YCF CW edge

v2.10.3.6 Change Log - Release Candidate 2 (rc2) - includes rc1 changes

• [fix] fix missing legacy buttons that happened in rare cases
• [fix] fixed mode/band menu items shown in expanded view if the collapsed view settings were changed in setup. Very old bug
• [fix] fixed the display of band/mode buttons in collapsed view that were sometimes visible behind the lower main controls in rare cases
