Aloha Ken! I didnt know for sure if VAC would eliminate the latency or not. Thats why I was posting the question. I was thinking it might help but it appears the only real way is to play with the buffers.
A long time ago, maybe 18-24 months a wish list was drawn up by the people at Flex. At first getting a voice keyer implemented was high on the list. Then a few months later it was moved to second class status. Then dropped all together. No explanation as to why. It seems other ideas had more importance even though there are many Flexers who would appreciate the voice keyer over some of the other items that have been added since. Would I purchase another radio from Flex? I cant say I would, there are issues within the unit that need to be addressed and have not been. The dc-dc converter issue is one which I had hoped Flex would have come up with a modification for but to my knowledge hasnt. Have you looked at 10 meters on the pan adaptor? Bet you cant count all the spurs showing on that one band. I appreciate your assistance and sorry to hear of your cold and snow, I just cant decide if I should go to the beach tomorrow :) Stan AH6JR On Saturday 03 March 2007 5:18 pm, you wrote: > Aloha Stan, > No, I am really sorry but from what I currently know about VAC and > PowerSDR, the main console can have EITHER MIC *or* VAC but not > both.
