Jim and others: I did unzip and install loop.dll that came with the EasyPal download, but I put it in the Windows/System32 directory rather than in the easypal directory under C:/Programs. I don't recall exactly where I saw the need to do this, but a site on the net suggested the need for doing it this way. Maybe they were wrong. The real question I had was about the interaction between the Transmit button in EasyPal and the setting of the Drive level on PowerSDR (see latter part of my message below). I also am aware that there are several ways to control the level of "drive" (VAC has it's own sliders on the console, when a DIG mode is selected). I'll keep trying and report back. Gary AI4IN

I have used easypal sucessfully with both my SDR-1000 and my SDR-5000. I must admit I have never seen the symptoms you describe, but was warned to install the loop.dll before I attempted to run with SDR-1000. If you do not have the dll, I can send you the zip file. 73's Jim, W4ATK [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://web.mac.com/jimrogers_w4atk -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Gary Strong Sent: Saturday, January 19, 2008 7:08 PM To: flexradio@flex-radio.biz Subject: [Flexradio] EasyPal, VAC and PowerSDR Folks: I have set up my SDR 1000 with MIXW and VAC 4.08, and it works fine with MIXW modes. I can't seem to get EasyPal to work however. Receive works fine, but not transmit. There is a strange interaction that I don't understand between the SDR "Drive" slider and PTT as well. For a very low level of drive (<7 or so) it seems to transmit (the SDR is in transmit and I can see the ALC running at -13 or so), but the power output level is too low to measure on my wattmeter. For higher levels of drive, PTT won't trigger the SDR. I really don't understand that interaction. I use VCOM to communicate PTT as a CAT command to the SDR, which works well for MIXW. Anyone?
