Does anyone know of this problem with the old type rigs, the ones with knobs? Do any of those old rigs get stuck with the transmitter keyed ON, and the only way to terminate the RF out would be to power down the A/C?
We are charting new waters here with this rig. When I was setting up the station CW with the 5000a It got 'stuck' ON and the only solution was to turn it off and reboot the computer. If I were operating remote I'd make sure the station had an independent OFF timer. ----- Original Message ---- From: Lee A Crocker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Flexradio <FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz> Sent: Friday, July 18, 2008 3:31:38 AM Subject: Re: [Flexradio] Is There a Time-Out-Timer For the Flex Radio PTT? Seems to me instead of a time out timer you want to make the network ping your remote IP address or some watchdog program running on the remote computer and if it doesn't acknowledge then shut down the xmit. There are power distribution devices that can be switched over the internet with their own IP address and can be remotely controlled This would give you an independent way to shut things down apart from a BSOD You may want the tine out timer in addition to the above and set it to ten minutes or something an example http://www.remotepowerswitch.com/ I think this may open a whole separate specialized topic for PSDR that may be a little beyond the scope of the native program N8LP has a lot of stuff on remote control of a station that may be of interest 73 W9OY _______________________________________________ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ Knowledge Base: http://kb.flex-radio.com/ Homepage: http://www.flex-radio.com/ _______________________________________________ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ Knowledge Base: http://kb.flex-radio.com/ Homepage: http://www.flex-radio.com/
