Re: [Flexradio] FLEX-3000 FLUCTUATING CW OUTPUT POWER

2012-02-14 Thread Brian Miller
Thanks to everyone for the comments. It does seem that the fluctuations in the output power meter readings are an artefact of the sampling/averaging process that drives the meter display. I will have a play with the multimeter options to see if there is a setting which provides a more

Not sure I can even describe this issue properly but I've got my Flex 1500 running fine with Writelog controlling the SDR and VAC running the CW reader. But when I fire up Writelog's CW keyer it keys the SDR but doesn't create a dot or dash. Similarly I had problems getting MMTTY to send

Hi ZacK! Be very carefull when doing this! I burned out my receiver input when trying this. In the current software, there is no relay disconnect of the external receiver input when you are transmitting ( when you split RX and TX paths ). Any transmitted RF that is picked up by the

Zack, I use a separate receive antenna for my Flex 1500 and also for my Flex-3000, which I modified to accept a separate receive input. I'm using the DX Engineering active receive antenna with an additional preamplifier and a 4-way splitter to drive several receivers from the same receive

If you use a separate receive antenna, be sure to place it at least a wavelength away from the transmit antenna at the lowest frequency that you plan to use to avoid frying anything. ^^^ What he said G I operate my WD2XSH/7 400 watt, 600 Meter beacon transmitter 24/7. The TX antenna is

Thanks Bill, Looks like you get the same results with your F-1500. The high cut-off I can set is also 3650Hz. Wonder if Dudley or Tim could comment on this if this is a limitation of the F-1500 or PowerSDR. I was getting into this when I was trying to setup a MaCRO for Win-Warbler which

John, IMO, PowerSDR is correct in limiting the transmit bandwidth to less than 4khz, otherwise you could transmit a wider bandwidth signal than is allowed for that frequency. The incorrect Cat_Command_Dictionary.pdf documentation incorrectly stating a range of 00500 to 2 needs
