George,
First, are these all present with RX1. Your first comment mentions RX2.
I don't use the rear CW jack. I have produced some good CW with a cap
across key cable, but only use straight keys, bugs, etc. Paddles would
require a cap across each line to ground. 1 microfarad is a good
Maybe I can help just a bit.
I'm a digital DXer and a Contester as is Jerry.
I use
Flex5000A (newest release version and latest svns)
I also use the free DXLabs Suite of Commander and WinWarbler
com0com, VAC
System basically is
PWSDR via com0com VAC to DXLabs Commander/WinWarbler combination
Rich, here is a screen shot of how PWSDR and WinWarbler work so well using
com0com and VAC.

I have read a lot about the SDR-1000 fan noise, and must admit I find it a
little loud for me.
I would simply move the unit, but the cables aren't long enough..so, I am
looking for a solution.
My research turned up a couple of solutions nibbling out the metal behind
the fan grill (does it really
I cannot get any digital programs to work with release 1.12 on my SDR-1000.
The K6JA version works perfectly.
The settings are the same, just wondering if anyone else is having these
problems.
PS: I updated 1.12 to SVN 2354---no difference.
I did not rebuild the database and maybe that is the
I was in a 40m SSB QSO today with my Flex 5000A when I heard a constant
pulsing tone around -1440 to -1450 Hertz below my tuned frequency. I can
also see it on the Panadapter and it appears in the same location in the
bandpass regardless of where you tune the VFO. It sounds like a continuous
This brings up a question I have been wanting to ask for a while.
How many cfm is the fan in the SDR-1000 and what are it's phyisical dimensions?
I ask because their are some very quiet fans on the market these days for the
PC gaming world. I would be willing to replace the fan in the 1000
I did this research when I was trying sound abatement solutions for the
SDR-1000. The fan is 80mm x 15mm and is the quietest fan in this dimension
available. If you go to a higher CFM fan, they generate more noise.
You can get a neoprene gasket to isolate it from the front chassis and that

Nibbling out the area contained by the holes in the front of the chassis
will reduce the noise by nearly 80%. Went from extremely annoying to
knowing the fan is on.

If you go to the photo section of the Flex Radio Yahoo Group you will find a
snapshot and a schematic of a simple device I made to quiet the fan on the SDR
-1000. it basically uses a diode string to drop the voltage to the fan on RX
and a PNP to short out the string on transmit. I use pin 6
Bob,
Strange, I don't have that here, even on SVN 2354.. What version of
PSDR are you using and did you connect your 10 mhz reference input??
Maybe the level has creped up ..

I not only added the thermostat, but also nibbled out the area contained by the
holes on the front panel. I found the fan mod made the noise non existent in
colder weather and as previously quoted, from annoying to knowing the fan is
on. The two best things I have done for the SDR radio is
There are some higher CFM fans that are actually quieter (the center hub
assembly of the fan motor is smaller and thus does not block the air as
much). I've installed one on my SDR-1000 and also mounted the fan to the
outside of the case and use a snap on fan filter to keep dust out of the

This illustrates the point that the noise is primarily due to the
dynamics of the airflow. If the
Thanks for all the tips.
I nibbled out the front of the cabinet where the fan seats and it reduced
the fan noise considerably.
Still not where I would like it, but much better and liveable.
Much appreciated.

I want to say thank you Joe and your team, for doing an outstanding job
on the new manual.. Really an excellent job, and for those who have
never put a manual like this together, try it sometimes, it's quite a
humbling experience..
I know through experience that trying to put
