G2 Ultra Pure Signal oddity

Postby Trucker » Mon Mar 03, 2025 12:19 am

It is most likely pilot error. But, if I activate Pure Signal in PiHPSDR with my G2 Ultra, then transmit, I get an ADC0 overload indication in red on the display. I am running the radio at 100 watts. I have looked at the settings in PiHPSDR for Pure Signal and nothing jumps out at me that might be the source of the problem.
I don't have anyone telling me that my Signal is distorted or anything that could indicate a problem elsewhere. I have looked in the G2 manual and the PiHPSDR manual, the G2 manual says something about setting attention in the G2 for Pure Signal to avoid overload. But, I cannot find a setting that activates any attenuation on transmit for either ADC.
I am open to suggestions.

No Overload with Pure Signal off.

Talked to Tony today and in the course of the conversation I mentioned the problem I was having with Pure signal in PiHPSDR. He asked me if I had checked auto attenuate in the Pure Signal settings. I wasn't sure so I checked and sure enough, it wasn't checked. I checked the selection and then made a couple of contacts. No ADC overload at all running a full 100 watts.
So, pilot error strikes again!
