I really wish you guys had not brought up this subject as my SDR-1000 as of just a few hours ago has now started to go in to the xmit mode at will and will not respond to any attempts to make it go to receive. I have rebooted my computer and it has no effect. I restart my Forebox, the SDR, and turn off and restart the software and it gets stuck in the xmit mode more time than it is in receive. At one point, it seemed that slight touching or movement of my mouse would bring it back to receive but then you let go and it is back in xmit. I have just the 1w version.
At present, my SDR-1000 is stuck in transmit. Any ideas? No hardware changes here since getting it up and running a week ago. It worked great on 2M JT65 last night. 73 Al W5LUA -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Larry Loen Sent: Sunday, November 12, 2006 6:07 PM To: A.R.S. - W5AMI Cc: Flex Radio Subject: Re: [Flexradio] SDR X2 and dead rx A.R.S. - W5AMI wrote: >It seems like I've seen some discussion on this before, but I could >not find it in the archives. > >Once in a while when I power up my SDR, the X2 will activate the key >line to my AMP or external TX, etc. I have no idea why it would do >this. > I have had similar symptoms, but I don't know if my X2 is involved or not. No amp is involved, at any rate. What usually happens in my case is that when I put it in CW mode, it will go into a "keydown" mode as if I had put a rock on my CW key (this ends up being a set of dits or dahs, then, based on the current keyer setting for speed). The cure has so far been to reseat the parallel cable a couple of times. Then, once it finally and randomly goes away, to screw down the connection to the parallel port well in hopes of preserving the good connections. I've had the problem with both USB and parallel -- slightly less often with the latter, actually. I've also had it simply assert transmit upon powering up the rig, but not as often, certainly not as often of late. There does seem to be something touchy somewhere in how the parallel cable relates to T/R switching, but since I usually get past it fairly quickly, I've never really tracked it down.
