Kevin, The problem with that approach is that often you need to start with a fresh database as a troubleshooting measure. Sometimes a setting can get inadvertently changed to a value that can cause the radio not to work properly.
Using SDRDataTransfer to move in settings from a known good database avoids the problem of propagating the corrupted setting. 73, Ray, K9DUR http://k9dur.info -----Original Message----- From: flexradio-boun...@flex-radio.biz [mailto:flexradio-boun...@flex-radio.biz] On Behalf Of Kevin Hobbs Sent: Friday, February 18, 2011 4:50 PM To: 'Tim Ellison'; 'Gerald Youngblood'; 'Reflector'; flexe...@flex-radio.biz Subject: Re: [Flexradio] [FlexEdge] Announcing PowerSDR(TM) v2.0.19 RC1 Release Candidate Yes ... there might be database schema changes ... but I just don't think it is too much to ask to suck the simple parameters like "equalizer", "antenna", etc out and then put them back where they belong ... would go along way to making this more user friendly. -----Original Message----- From: Tim Ellison [mailto:telli...@itsco.com] Sent: February-18-11 4:35 PM To: Kevin Hobbs; 'Gerald Youngblood'; 'Reflector'; flexe...@flex-radio.biz Subject: RE: [FlexEdge] Announcing PowerSDR(TM) v2.0.19 RC1 Release Candidate There are database schema changes and/or default parameter settings that change between releases. User data is not kept completely separate from radio data in the database, so a new DB is created to ensure the database integrity is maintained. You do have the ability to use the K9DUR Data Import program to facilitate migrating setting from an older database http://kc.flexradio.com/KnowledgebaseArticle50327.aspx -Tim -----Original Message----- From: flexedge-boun...@flex-radio.biz [mailto:flexedge-boun...@flex-radio.biz] On Behalf Of Kevin Hobbs Sent: Friday, February 18, 2011 4:26 PM To: 'Gerald Youngblood'; 'Reflector'; flexe...@flex-radio.biz Subject: Re: [FlexEdge] Announcing PowerSDR(TM) v2.0.19 RC1 Release Candidate Hi Gerald I look forward to trying the update ... but, as I twiddle a million settings trying to get my radio back to the way it was ... can you really not keep any of the user settings between updates? Must I really completely re-enter my Antenna table, CAT settings, VAC settings, CW strings, etc??? These things didn't seem to change ... so I don't understand why they must be continually re-entered manually? 73 Kevin -----Original Message----- From: flexedge-boun...@flex-radio.biz [mailto:flexedge-boun...@flex-radio.biz] On Behalf Of Gerald Youngblood Sent: February-18-11 3:59 PM To: Reflector; flexe...@flex-radio.biz Subject: [FlexEdge] Announcing PowerSDR(TM) v2.0.19 RC1 Release Candidate Dear FlexRadio customers: FlexRadio is pleased to announce the availability of PowerSDR v2.0.19 Release Candidate 1 (RC1) for public download from our website. This version incorporates a totally new CW keying architecture that was written from the ground up to achieve minimum jitter and latency using both internal and external keyers. To say this is a rewrite is a bit of an understatement. We got out Farnsworth and started from "dit." Everything is right now in "PARIS." We have also done significant work since the v2.0.16 beta release to improve installation and overall out of box experience on all radios. We have optimized the USB driver for the FLEX-1500 to perform well on a wide range of PC platforms. We have also incorporated a new FireWire driver with less CPU overhead on Windows 7 systems. The number of little and not so little bug fixes are too numerous to mention here. Check out the change log and release notes. A note about release notes, PLEASE READ the them to get the most from your FlexRadio. The URL for the release notes is: http://support.flex-radio.com/Downloads.aspx?id=359 The URL for the installer software is: http://support.flex-radio.com/Downloads.aspx?id=358 We are very excited about v2.0.19 RC1 as we enter the final steps toward the PowerSDR v2.0.x Official Release. We thank you for your patience and support while we have been preparing this important release. We request you report any bugs found in this release to the bug tracker at http://support.flexradio.com/BugList.aspx?it=b. Be sure to note 2.0.19 RC1 in the Software Product Version field as we will be focusing our attention on those specific reports. We would like to say a special thanks to our beta team for their tireless support in testing a number of interim releases to get here. We are taking the weekend off but 2.1 starts on Monday. In the software world it is never finished.
