________________________________ Van: [EMAIL PROTECTED] namens FireBrick Verzonden: za 3-2-2007 1:34 Aan: FlexRadio List Onderwerp: [Flexradio] couple of potential owner questions Forgive me for 'thinking' in a black box mode. I own a FT1000mp, so I need to differentiate from the black box type rig. My Dell 3.2 mHz machine has one com port (presently used to control my antenna rotor). No printer port (I have a USB printer). Questions: 1: I would need the USB to Parallel Adapter Y/N >> YES Page 7 of manual says this adapter is specially designed to control the radio via the computer. USB ON COMPUTER connects to a parallel type interface on SDR radio Y/N? >> YES (take care a 'standard' USB--Printerport adapter does not work) it seems that the special USB--SDR1000par.type can be critical on USB 5 volts power 2. On page 2 of manual, It says the ouput is 40W continuous carrier. I operate a lot of rtty and psk, Is the software programmable/automatice to reduce the power when operating in these mode. I prefer and presently use ALC to control my rig and my Yaesu VL1000 transistorized amplifier. >> No ALC, set output power 3. On page 15, the diagram and info indicates I need to connect the Keyer paddles to a serial port on the computer (recommended). Again, no serial port available. >> I do not know of a 'standard' USB--RS232 adapter works. !!>> If you have a free PCI cardslot try to get a PCI--par+rs232 card. That's 3 questions I am confused about. Enough for one email I'm a 45% cw dxer/contester, 45% rtty/digital dxer/contester, 10% phone dxer. ----------------------------------------------------- "Keyboard?
