Ron, Hang in there, as you could tell, I was not real sure as to what's going on with the RX Thread not coming up.. There is going to be a hands on meeting tomorrow at Flex to find a resolution..
Your thought about the T/R relay would work for a standard analog radio, but not with the SDR.. The reason for the flat line and the low reading in the RX meter is that the RX thread is not starting up, this is the way the IF signals (actually called I/Q signals) get from the physical radio to the digital side in the computer. This thread and the the TX thread transport the I/Q signals to and from the radio.. It's like pulling the last IF amplifier tube out of a tube receiver, results in dead receiver.. Hang in there, I will be back with you tomorrow. 73, Dudley WA5QPZ FlexRadio Systems (512) 250-8595, Option 2 Email: dud...@flexradio.com <dud...@flex-radio.com> Web: www.flexradio.com <http://www.flex-radio.com> "Tune in excitement!" ™ On Wed, Nov 10, 2010 at 8:59 PM, Ron Feltman <rea...@hotmail.com> wrote: > > Dudley has been patiently working with me on trying to resolve this > problem. > Neither the2..08 or 2..16 SDP software makes any difference. > All the options (buttons, mouse actions, etc.) work just as they do in the > demo mode, however in operating mode there is no signal indication in either > the receive or transmit mode (pressing the "tune" button causes the current > in the power supply but there is no indication of any power being > transferred to the load as confirmed by a power out meter. > I'm totally ignorent of the FLEX-1500 hardware structure, but I was > wondering if this might be a problem of T/R switching not operating > properly on transmit or receive! > > If anyone has any thoughts, please share them with me as I'm totally > frustrated! > > Ron Feltman k3vig > > > > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > 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://kc.flexradio.com/ Homepage: > http://www.flexradio.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://kc.flexradio.com/ Homepage: http://www.flexradio.com/
