@@nhojcam sounds like it's user error. U don't need 128 bit. 16 or 24 is plenty. I can get any sound I want on even my old 1st gen i5 laptop with 100% stability. Uve got something wrong there or there's a major glitch with the os. Seen it before with 1 other person. Probably better off using a modest rack.

@@macbenac777 most likely something is turned on that shouldn't be. Check all A1 buttons to make sure you're not monitoring multiple areas. Also check your sounds panel to make sure audio is not being fed to rig and only banana or potato is handling the audio. Feel free to send me screenshots to my qrz email. I'll take a look.

@@k1gmmgreenmountainmaniac251Hi Sir!!!! I installed, and followed the method for the "VSTHost" installation and it didn't want to work. I couldn't get audio in my "Sunsdr". I tried every possible and imaginable starter. All the combinations possible and it didn't want to work. I took a break, I went to eat something in the kitchen.... And bam, I remembered that you talked about virtual cable.... It must also be said that I don't have an external sound card and that I don't install "Banana". So I had to find a solution. I download the virtual cable, make the configurations and here is the audio that appeared in the "Sunsdr". Thank you, sir!!!! Yai!!! Thank You sir! Happy New Year and take a good contact.

Don’t take my previous comment below to heart. As an OT ham you can stick me in front of an Eico. But as an EE it’s awesome to see this new technology and how the new hams are embracing it. Keep those bands populated!! I appreciate your work as I have considered one of the new rigs. Just too many great choices!

The G2 standalone runs on the pihpsdr of course. Just download thetis. That's probably what they meant. The audio software is what you see on the screen. It's free and on the website in the description. Congratulations on the G2!!!!

Mornin Elmer!

Man that's a loaded one. I love it standalone and run it 90% of the time that way. I found the pihpsdr running in the g2 has better NR than the nr2 in thetis. It also sounds different on the receiver. More to my liking over thetis. Runs glitch free. I believe it's strength is that it can be run standalone without and external computer. I don't use it much but for the diversity NC when noise is present. I've been spending most of my time on AM lately and I know it works excellent on that mode. I'm just not a fan of the anan receivers when it's noisy. 90% of the static crashing that scalps me on the anan's, 200d and g2, I don't even hear on the sun sdr2dx and when I do hear it on the sun it's very subtle. That's why I gravitate to the sun all the time. I think Apache Labs hit a home run with the g2 w/built in display although grossly overpriced. Benefits? 2 independent receivers, Diversity NC, unlimited tx bandwidth,predistortion PS, fun to play with. Is it worth the $? Only an individual op could answer that. Cons, most complex hf transceiver on the planet (steep learning curve), cost, and instability.

@ thanks for all the info Steve. I was going back and forth on the g2 and the flex 8600m standalone. It took voice meter and cake walk EQs to get my flex 6500 close to my Anan 7000 but it doesn’t have pure signal which sucks. I guess the biggest thing I worry about if there’s a warranty issue how can you trust that it would be repaired? I see on there website now that Apache Labs opened a place in California,so maybe better days? 73 Steve and thanks much for what you do.

@David-p4s4b yea, the service thing makes me nervous but Doug in Arkansas is very fast and good. I've heard countless hardware issues with the anans. I think there is a qc problem with Apache. Personally, i would never buy one new. I buy used and let the first owner sort it out lol.

@@k1gmmgreenmountainmaniac251 sounds like you like the Sun better I might have to look at that brand. I wonder if you can get the audio and pure signal from the Sun? Have you done a UA-cam on the Sun if so I’ll look at? 73

@@David-p4s4b Remember Dave, these are "personal" observations and preferences. A rig is a tool that meets an individuals needs and wants. That said, the sun's tx audio capability is equal to the anan. Processor options on the sun are amazing. The sun does not require pure signal if running a tube amplifier. Impeccably clean. Been testing AM on a local kiwi sdr analyzing the imd at 10-12khz tx. 200 watt carrier and noticed absolutely zero imd on the kiwi with a signal of +40 while using the acom 2000a. Tight and clean. A used sdr2DX would be worth picking up as they can be had for pennies on the dollar compared to a new anan. I've had the Sun for about 5 years now and has been 100% stable and reliable. Grenade proof. Not one issue. Get running, set it up and leave it alone. Can't say that about anan. Now, if a standalone anan is intriguing and arrives in working order LOL, you WON'T be disappointed! They are beasts and there's virtually nothing you can't accomplish with them. Div' NC, 2 independent ADC's, Beastly TX audio etc. It's one drawback like I said is the RX. It's a nightmare when there's heavy static crashing. Absolutely brutal. Look at any of my recent videos and notice the sun's spectrum hopping yet can't hear the qrn. The sun's receiver is very smooth, no brittleness and very tube like. Best rig I've ever heard when things are very noisy. Go online and listen to some of my sun videos and then find some anan videos and compare. Put on a good set of cans and listen to them both with a critical ear. You'll quickly realize the difference. I call the anan a "banjo in a box." There's a weird inherent "ring" in the audio in the anan. Strange. I'm all about the receive quality of a rig now and the reason I don't gravitate to the g2 as it fatigues my ears in short order. Hope this helps. Just my preferences at this point.

@@pauln4dmeedwards775 not a problem. I know it must be hectic. Take care of yourself first ok!

@@lavallelaabs same as what's on the website

@k1gmmgreenmountainmaniac251 - Yup, I believe some other app, haven't figured it out yet is accessing the dll, a fresh windows install and your stuff 1st should fix it

@@VE2XK Here Michael, all audio coming and going is handled by the soundcard and software. Please see the website listed in many of the videos descriptions. No internal physical speakers in the G2 or the sun sdr2dx.

@@TheOldxMusicMan no. Never heard of it. I'll look it up tnx.

It's pretty slick. I've been playing with it today. I got it setup and running everything voicemeeter was running, without using VAC's. Still trying to figure out how to integrate matrix and voivemeeter since matrix doesn't have faders for audio. Not sure it's really needed by the average ham radio user like me, but for someone like you who adds video and other software and hardware into the mix it might be helpful.

@@TheOldxMusicMan 😎 if u figure it out shoot me an email. Good on qrz:-)

Hello Steve it’s a month later as I tend to view your videos later but I wanted to ask how do you keep the 31 band Eq and other plug ins to stay up on the monitor together? I tried that on my second monitor but only one will stay up? For example when I select the Eq it stays open but as soon as I select the exciter it’ll replace the Eq. Btw I’m using voice meter with cakewalk and thank much.

@David-p4s4b Grief, I haven't used cakewalk in a very long time. I'm not sure how to do that. That's one reason I use vst host. All panels stay on the screen and can run multiple instances. Have to go back to my cw config videos and take a look. Sorry.

@ that’s ok but do you know if it can be done with cakewalk? If not I could switch over to vst if it’s not too complicated.

@@David-p4s4b I would say if I didn't address that in the tutorials then I don't have an answer. Try doing a google search on that in cw. Vst host tutorials are complete and thorough. Everything i know is there.

@ ok thanks Steve

@@TheOldxMusicMan set sdr console to output to voicemeter input if using rxdap or your soundcard if not

I must have this system. Ill pay the prices. Out dam standing. Thanks Steve. It will take a minute to gather stuff, but it will be mine lol

@@k1gmmgreenmountainmaniac251 Slight change. I set it up that way but I was getting audio from the radio and audio from sdrconsole. So I set up a VAC and used it to get the sdrconsole audio into Input 2 in Potato. Now when I use sdrconsole I turnoff the A2 output on the VAIO Input and turn on the A2 output on Input 2. Reverse the process when I'm not using sdrconsole.

@@TheOldxMusicMan yup. U got it.

Alan, are u referring to pc audio as in, audio from a websdr etc?

@@k1gmmgreenmountainmaniac251 Never mind, I figured it out. PC audio as in media player for when I want to listen to my music, streaming from Amazon Prime, etc, watching videos on the internet. That sort of thing. But Win 10 and 11 have a Volume Mixer that you can change the inputs and outputs on different apps. So I changed Firefox and VLC media player to output to Line 2 VNC which goes to my VST Main which is configured for regular audio (as in non-Ham audio), it sends the output to Input 5 in Potato which outputs to the 404HD. Works fine. There might be a better way to do it but this way works OK.

@@TheOldxMusicMan no. Basic vm or banana is adequate for this. Potato provides full asio support on the inputs for tx. That's why i use potato and it's expanded ability for routing.

@@k1gmmgreenmountainmaniac251 Lava lamp! Haven't seen one of those in a while. I had a few back in the 70's. Last question. I remember in one of your videos you explained where to find the instructions for how everything is connected together. Hardware, real cables, virtual cables, software, etc. But now I can't find it. I'm thinking it was in one Part of the Master/Baster Class. Getting old and have CRS (Can't Remember Shit). Can you please tell me which of your videos explains all of it?
