Both Harry, VA3EC, and myself are running Flex 3000s with decent PCs (mine’s a fairly new I7 quad core running the Flex at 2% CPU using Windows 7) and we’re both experiencing significant and obvious lag when tuning with a mouse or especially the FlexKnob. We are using the latest edition of vspMgr and the latest edition of SDR. Device Manager shows no port conflicts or extraneous ports and the situation continues regardless of port assignment on the Knob. I’ve gone into Task Manager and ended all background tasks to no effect. I’ve also closed down all my Internet security (F-Secure) and Microsoft security software to no effect.
Weirdly the issue is lessened significantly when the spur reduction button is activated. The FlexKnob works perfectly on my Flex 1500 using the same computer and software setup so thinking the issue might be with the FireWire setup? Bought the FireWire card from our Flex retailer (RadioWorld in Toronto) when I bought the 3000. Normally tuning very slowly minimizes the issue but having a rubbery effect when tuning made the RTTY contest this weekend tough to tune and this is an issue that likely has a solution. Any thoughts much appreciated.
