Hello Scott,
Is whatever you are plugging into the headphone jack *completely*
isolated from ground? The shield on the headphone jack is not at ground
potential and should not be connected to ground. Did you try plugging in
a stand-alone pair of headphones?

I loaned out my Flex 1500 along with a 222 transverter to a friend who
wanted to experiment with the set up at his home for a few days. He called
me and said that he couldn't get the unit to work, and asked if I would take
a look. I went over after work expecting to find the usual assortment of

There is a three amp fuse and a reverse polarity diode that will blow the

to protect the Flex-1500. It is a cheap automotive fuse, so you can buy at
local
auto parts store, or order from Mouser. I can send you disassembly and
replacement instructions for the fuse, if you are

I have a Flex-3000, using a new computer (windows7) supplied by Neal. I
operate with an off-center fed dipole up at 40'.
This morning while operating USB on 12 meters, I encountered a problem
that I have not seen before. While in the middle of a normal QSO at
24.950, I suddenly got an error
Les,
Hopefully just the internal fuse is blown.. You have to remove the ends,
and then the four rubber feet on the bottom, this will allow both boards
to slide out. There is a 3.5 amp auto blade fuse by the DC connector..
Check it, I bet it blew..
Let us know if you need an RMA number to
Your OCF dipole will have common mode currents on the coax because it is not
balanced. So yes, regardless of low SWR you have RF in the shack (unless you
are shunting the currents to ground with a good RF ground and some common mode
chokes) and it sounds like this stray RF is finding a path

Hi Gerald
I look forward to trying the update ... but, as I twiddle a million settings
trying to get my radio back to the way it was ... can you really not keep
any of the user settings between updates? Must I really completely re-enter
my Antenna table, CAT settings, VAC settings, CW strings,
I would like to add a few helpful hints for running PowerSDR v2.0.19 RC1
that might make your installation go a bit smoother.
1.) Read the release notes. Seriously, it is a best practice.
2.) You do NOT have to uninstall a previous version of PowerSDR before
installing PowerSDR v2.0.19 RC1
There are database schema changes and/or default parameter settings that change
between releases. User data is not kept completely separate from radio data in
the database, so a new DB is created to ensure the database integrity is
maintained.
You do have the ability to use the K9DUR Data
Hi Gerald,
Just downloaded the new version for the 1500 on to a vista and XP machine
with no problems at all. Excellent work!

Too bad I was not into amateur radio when the house was built. That

My suggestion would be to disconnect the alarm system and get a couple

You are welcome to import the old database but I cannot guarantee that there
won't be any issues in doing so. A number of parameters have changed.

Don't you imagine that if this were simply done, the Flex team would already
have done it? If they are anything at all, they are responsive to customer

Well the old saying if it ain't broke don't fix it, applies here. I
successfully downloaded and installed v2.0.19 RC1 to my Flex 5000C. All worked
well, no problems. THEN I went too smart by half and decided to remove some of
the older versions of PowerSDR from the computer and somewhere in
Lynn,
Try uninstalling PowerSDR v2.0.19 RC1 and then reinstall. It will
automatically reload the new driver.

The firmware on the Flex site is for PowerSDR 1.x. The PowerSDR 2.x firmware
and drivers are all included in the software installer.
Did you delete you Firewire driver because it is impossible to delete the
firmware from your radio using your PC unless you really know how to do it.
Here is
2.019RC1 installed fine with Flex1500 and Win XP SP3, no issues.
Initial impressions:
Appears CW latency has improved when using a straight key.
More importantly, CPU Usage with PowerSdr on my system went from
averaging about 30% with 2.0.16 to averaging about 20% with 2.0.19.
Hmnn, that's just the opposite preference I would have expected to hear
if there was a preference. I would have though there might be some
possible traffic jams in the PCI buss. Shows how much I know!

If there is only one USB controller (hub) in the laptop, then there may be more
internal devices connected to it other than the keyboard and mouse. The PCI
/USB bus controller would be guaranteed to have only the FLEX-1500 connected to
it (unless you plugged something else into it). Also the
Update went smooth, so far very impressed.
Thanks

The problem with that approach is that often you need to start with a fresh
database as a troubleshooting measure. Sometimes a setting can get
inadvertently changed to a value that can cause the radio not to work
properly.

Only one conflict found with an easy fix. If you are running the

is to unplug the power to the base of the USB headset and then reinsert the

Gary,
WBIR is the same as in 2.0.16. We plan an enhanced version in the fairly
near future but it has not been perfected yet. This is new technology that
has never been done before so it is a bit of a science project. We are
getting close though to an improved version.

Just for clarification, it's a desktop. HP a6333w with AMD processor.
Don't ask me why it has only one native USB hub but apparently that's
