Are you 100% certain that the radio is not being keyed immediately or is
the radio being keyed immediately and there is a delay generating the
digi mode tones and hence the RF?
PowerSDR does not differentiate between bands when issuing the TX or
ZZTX CAT command to key the radio, so I'd look
Hi Kermit
I have recently acquired a Flex 3000 and run it on an HP Probook 6550B
laptop using the built in firewire port and 8 GB RAM. So far it seems to be
working work fine.
The only difficulty I have encountered is when running CW skimmer and the
Flex 3000 on the same laptop. With this
Hello Tim,
i checked ist more detailed and found with stopping the time it is on all
bands the same. The PTT noise of the FLEX-1500 is hearable direct after
entering a macro. But the needle of the power/SDR meter starts moving
exactly after 5.7 seconds on all bands. I do not use ddutil but VCom.
Second try, because i used a wrong orginator email adress

OK. So if the rig is keying immediately, then the CAT ZZTX command is
doing its job. The issue is a delay in the audio being sent from Fldigi
to PowerSDR.
Now for more questions.
What version of VAC are you using?
What version of Windows are you using?

Hello Tim,
the sample rate in PowerSDR is 48000 but the buffersize is only 512.
Would increase to 1024 or 2048 help?

Probably not. The problem is with VAC (the driver) not the VAC setup in
PowerSDR.
I always match my audio buffer with the VAC buffer size so that they are
better aligned.

This may have been covered before but if you are having RFI issues with the 5K
and are using the 8 pin mike connection the problem may be that pin 7 is solder
bridged to the shield in the Heil Sound's Stealth 8-pin Foster microphone
connector. The shield should NOT be used as the negative

Step 1 in the Quick Start Guide says to install PowerSDR. I assumed that was
for a new install, and that this wasn't necessary if it was already installed.
I see now that existing versions of PowerSDR must be uninstalled and then
reinstalled.
That seems like a kludge way of doing things?
Sorry you feel that way Jim.
If somebody at Flex Radio sees my comments and views them in a constructive way
then maybe things will get a little better. If they view them the way you do
then we all lose. I'm not trying to save the world; I just think it's better
to identify things that
At the risk of being slammed for saying something not useful, I cannot
imagine any rationale behind the belief that hand code is more readable
than keyer code sent at the same speed. That is absolutely counter
intuitive.
Splainify, please.

I use a keyer 99% of the time. A keyer is impersonal. They all sound the
same, more or less. With a hand key (or a bug), you can add your own
personality. In the olden days, many operators could be identified by their
keying personality alone. In a pileup I can see that a signal with a

No, Brian, if you read my email instead of thinking of smarty responses, you
would see my Q was:
Does anyone have a circuit for using a hand key in parallel with the keyer in
the 1500?
So your answer is 'no'. The suggestion of a Pico-Keyer-Plus is interesting
though. I'll look into it.
