Been happily running 2.0.16 since it came out. Flex 5000A, with 2nd
receiver installed. Windows XP SP3 and hotfix, cpu load about 20%.
Microphone audio is fed through an external mixer itno the balanced
input.
I waited a day, saw all the good reviews and installed 2.0.19.
Receiving, it seemed to work pretty well, but when I went to transmit,
I noticed I wasn't getting any output. Checked my audio system and the
various settings and didn't find any issues, but I can't get any RF
out in SSB, see any modulation on the panadaptor or see any audio
modulation on the panadaptor in AM mode.
Soooo, I clicked on the 2.0.16 icon and fired up that version.
Transmit audio works normally, which kind of rules out the cat bumping
settings on the audio mixer. Back to .19, no audio again. Hmmmm.
Reset the database and restarted. No TX audio.
Removed 2.0.19 and the driver and reinstalled. No TX audio. 2.0.16
still operates normally when called up. Kind of stumped.
Observations:
The first couple of times I started up .19, a little box appeared
saying something about reading calibration values from EEPROM and took
about 30 seconds to clear as green bar marched to the right. I don't
recall seeing that in .16. After the reinstall of .19, I don't think
it did that.
The first time I installed .19, it automatically went into a
calibration routine. The second time I installed it, it did not. It
also seemed to remember some of the settings from the previous
install such as the frequencies in the band stack. This makes me
wonder whether the removal really cleared all the information it
needed to.
Both times I installed .19, I specified only F3K/F5K radios, not the
legacy SDR1000 I had also installed on 2.0.16. However both times when
the install was completed and PowerSDR starts up, it presents me with
the radio chooser with the F5K and the SDR1000. It seems to have
'remembered' that from the 2.0.16 install. I thought each version of
PowerSDR ended up in it's own directory with it's own files.
I'm presuming I've got a cockpit error here someplace, but not sure
what it is. I've migrated from 1.18.6 to on an SDR1000 to the F5K,
then upgraded to 2.0.8, and then 2.0.16 with no issues. Now with
2.0.19 things are a bit weird. I read the release notes and I thought
I followed the steps outlined correctly.
Besides using the add/remove tool in control panel, is there more I
need to do to really clean out PowerSDR? Should I remove the previous
versions that are on the machine as well?
Next steps?
TIA
