Re: [Flexradio] Win 7 trick

It works on my VISTA-32 bit machine as well. I think I recall reading that it does not work with VISTA-64 bit, but that may well be in error. 73s, Alan WA4SCA -Original Message- From: flexradio-boun...@flex-radio.biz [mailto:flexradio-boun...@flex-radio.biz] On Behalf Of Tony Estep

Re: [Flexradio] Digital Mode

HRD, MixW, WSPR, JT-65, etc all work fine. It just takes VAC and some virtual ports to glue them together. 73s, Alan WA4SCA -Original Message- From: flexradio-boun...@flex-radio.biz [mailto:flexradio-boun...@flex-radio.biz] On Behalf Of kc9...@aol.com Sent: Wednesday, May 16, 2012

Re: [Flexradio] I think I know what it is!

Neal, Based on some rumors from a consistently unreliable source, here are my guesses: It will have a touch screen which can be skinned to emulate any rig ever made. The default will be the KWM-2A, with the SB-101 next choice. (A K3 skin has been developed, but is tied up in court.) By

Re: [Flexradio] VU5K With Dual Band Yagi

Paul, I use separate antennas, but have found that setting the AGC-T properly is essential. If set too high, it will amplify the noise, and it wipes out the downlink. By backing off, per the instructions in the manual, RX works very well. If I found the correct antenna on the Gulf Alpha site,

[Flexradio] Low DPC PCIe NIC?

Hi, A non-ham friend has been having issues with his computer's Firewire, similar to those which can happen to the Flex. He does video and audio editing for some of the churches and schools here. Applying the techniques and software discussed here, we have found, after updating the drivers,

Re: [Flexradio] helpmwith mix w

Nick, In the FM mode, the tail of the packet gets truncated. Go into the MixW Mode Settings menu, Parameters, and set the TX Tail to 200 ms. That should get you going. Once you are, you can experiment with smaller values. Depending on sample rate and buffer sizes, you may be able to cut that

Re: [Flexradio] VAC 4.11 Install notice

Tim, Shortly after 2.3.5 came out, there were list discussions about taking advantage of the higher VAC sampling rates, and changing the default cable SR to 192 kHz from the 48 kHz in the KB article. There are 16 and 24 bit Studio Quality selections. Is there an official Flex do/don't on going

[Flexradio] VU-5K RX-only transverter question

A question about RX-only and transverters. I have my VU-5K set up with an S-band converter, 10 meter IF, which I only use for RX. In setting it up, I ticked the XVTR Setup RX Only box though it is connected to the XVRX connector and effectively does nothing. While trying to figure out how the

Re: [Flexradio] VU5K Power Preamps Through Coax?

Paul, No. It does not supply 12 volts DC up the line. I have always powered my preamps, except for the RX-only S-band, with separate cables, so the transition was easy. 73, Alan WA4SCA -Original Message- From: flexradio-boun...@flex-radio.biz

Re: [Flexradio] 2 meter packet with VU-5K problem

Tim, Found the problem, and as expected, operator error. It turns out that if you have Noise Reduction on, it does a great job of removing the packet noise. I have a bad ambient noise situation, and have just gotten used to leaving it on. It has always been a nearly magical solution rather

[Flexradio] Question about submitting a feature request

The VU-5K is proving to be an amazing satellite rig. There are several TS-2000 CAT commands, needed for programs such as SATPC32, which are not fully implemented. For best processing, should I submit a single request giving all the commands and issues which are somewhat interrelated, or a

[Flexradio] VAC, deviation in FM mode

A question about setting TX deviation using digital modes. In the FM mode, you can manually enable VAC, but the usual gain sliders are absent. Does one use the ones on the VAC setup tab, or is there another way to set the deviation? At one time there was a slider tab, perhaps on the transmit

Mike, Take a look at this mode-J filter: http://www.amsat.org/amsat-new/articles/Mode-J/ However, you will almost certainly need a low noise preamp on 70 cm. A few, N8MH and myself included, have does this experiment. The preamp should provide enough selection to protect the FCD, but you may

Re: [Flexradio] Off topic: Hard Drive

I will add a similar recommendation for Acronis, but with a warning about the current 2011 version. It is extremely buggy, and the user interface was improved to the point that even simple tasks are hard to do. From personal experience, even their tech support people are confused. I am a

Re: [Flexradio] Remembering ATU setting by band

John, WSPR either transmits or listens on one band, frequency hops to another band, etc, which allows you to contribute to propagation data on multiple bands. Alan WA4SCA ___ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz

[Flexradio] FLEX-5000 support of transverters?

Hi, I have been contemplating using a FLEX-5000 as a satellite rig. (Thanks, Bob!) One obvious question is the support of transverters. Above 2 meters, using an IF of 28-30 MHz requires a lot of crystal switching to get both satellite and terrestrial coverage, which may not be available in the
