What is your sampling rate / buffer settings? If it is 192 KHz @ 2048 buffers change it to 96 KHz @ 2048 and make sure the Firewire driver is set exactly that way too (along with being in SafeMode 1).
Sounds like Firewire performance and not RF from the way you have described it. -Tim -----Original Message----- From: flexradio-boun...@flex-radio.biz [mailto:flexradio-boun...@flex-radio.biz] On Behalf Of Jim Menefee Sent: Monday, April 06, 2009 11:24 PM To: flexradio@flex-radio.biz Subject: [Flexradio] 5000 X-MIT AUDIO DEGRADATION While hearing outstanding audio from many on the 5000, they're those of us who are experiencing some very real audio degradation issues from something.. perhaps R.F. I work several people daily who have the same issues on the 5000 and all of us seem to get a "head in the sand" response when ask about it... Coming from the R.F. industry I understand frustration with issues like this, but we need some answers. I have applied every reasonable method I know to find the problem. The best description of the annonimaly is that it sounds like the noise gate is on, and set at a threshold point, being most noticeable at lower voice levels. Another person described as choppy, like an analog noise blanker being on at the receiving station. I might add, I don't hear it in the monitor mode. To my ear along with the quasi-intermittancy of the problem, it acts like R.F. is getting into something, but doesn't sound like a normal issue of R.F. getting into an analog radio. It comes and goes on all the stations from day to day. Everything is very well grounded and the antenna is 150' away and the power supply is iron, non switching. R.F power levels have very little or no effect for any of us. Level of audio shows very little difference. I know someone out their has experienced this issue and has an answer of the source of the problem. -- Jim Menefee - W4JWM James W. Menefee, Jr. P.A.
