Barry,
You should have your microphone going to input 1 of the front of the
FA66. If you want to use the front mic connector on the SDR-1000, you
will need a jumper from the rear of the 1K labeled To Mic input to the
Input 1 on the front of the FA66 and make sure the gain control just to
the left is set for at least mid range.

Forgive a dumb newby question please guys, but I am having difficulty
getting off first base. I have an SDR 1000 with FA-66 and a hot quad core
PC running XP Pro SP2 on a dedicated partition for Power SDR.
After getting most of the system working I am left with two persistent
problems:
I can't interface a microphone via the FA-66 input; and,
I can't interface a paddle key via a PC Com port.
My system works fine in the digital modes using HRD and DM780. The results
are fantastic, so most of the rig and software set up is fine. It is the
same for all versions of Power SDR.
The first problem seems to be that the XP driver somehow does not mate
properly with XP. In control panel (sounds) I can get audio out of the
FA-66 OK but nothing through the mike. In the control panel Volume Tab it
shows Edirol FA66 selected but the control is blanked out. Voice recording
does not work at all.
I am using a cheap PC mike that works OK with the built in sound card on the
PC motherboard (Asus P5Q) .
On the Paddle problem the com port is working but there is no reaction to
the paddles when wired up according to the SDR 1000 manual. I note that
there are no +volts involved here, just earth switching. Could it be that
the resistance in the cable is too much.
This is so frustrating. I thought I was going to have problems setting up
the digital modes but not SSB and CW.
Any ideas?
Barry, VK1BM

No, they are not bugs. The
FlexRadios have filtering optimized for the ham bands not
for the general RX. You will need to use a filter or
preselector for those frequencies.
http://kc.flex-radio.com/KnowledgebaseArticle50352.aspx
(See RX Frequency range)
If your Preamp is not making any change to the noise floor
when it is used in the ham bands, then you need to contact
FlexRadio support so they can help you run the Preamp test
and triage the issue.

Hi Guys,
I'm not sure if this is by design or a bug..
2 Receivers side by side. The Flex3000 and a IC7000 -
Listening to some navigational beacons clear as day on the
7000 (Below 500Khz). On the flex however it seems to go
crazy. You can hear AM broadcasts that are not really there
(unless the frequency displayed is completely wrong??) but
you also at the same time hear the beacons..
Kind of hard to explain but its not right. Kind of a mash
up of frequencies.
Ive also noticed similar occurances above 30mhz where I
know some signals are (I can hear on another receiver at the
same time) yet nothing on the flex 3000.
I have also noticed no difference whatsoever with
ATT/ON/PRE1/PRE2 enabled - the panadapter levels change
marginally but no audible difference at all.
Are these bugs??
Cheers,
Anthony
