The voice thing is available-- it is Ray K9DUR's Voice Keyer. No cost.
Developed specifically as a PSDR add-on. Modular add-on's instead of
built-in apps are usually better in my book because they provide choice
of tools, instead of locking in a specific solution.
Ray's Voice Keyer, you record the "CQ" call or whatever using PSDR's
built-in WAV recording features. It records exactly the same audio chain
(mic, equalizer, compressor, etc) that you have normally, so it sounds
exactly like you are "live". I always clean up my files to pull spaces,
stutters and grunts that seem to emanate from my mouth when speaking hi
hi. Then go into Ray's Voice Keyer and tell it what files to use for
each button. The Voice Keyer has 8 or 10 buttons in a slim strip that I
dock along the top of my screen with PSDR just below it. Of course you
can custom label each button when you set the audio file link for each
button.
Any of the audio files can be initiated with the buttons, with
keystrokes (like N1MM) or a timer. Yes, it hits the PTT and all that.

Oh, I forgot to add to the voice recordings. In addition to the quick memory
bank, and auto
TX/RX of recordings, it would also be good to have a user defined replay
facility. So for example
choose your CQ recording, and then have it key up on it’s own, play the
recording, go to RX,
then wait xx seconds, before playing the recording again, over and over until
the operator
intervenes. Similar to how most current K/I/Y radio’s work

Hi Steve
Yes, the current iteration of PowerSDR is mature and a fantastic interface to
legacy radio’s. There are no bugs that I have found….HOWEVER…
I think there are some features that would be nice to have in PSDR. Not
critical, but would be awesome to have.
1. Voice recordings - for personal choice, I take my Flex-3000 on regular
DXpeditions to Mozambique.
I yearn for the facility of being able to have several recordings (not just
one), like a
quick memory bank of 10 right on the front panel, so you don’t have to dig in
sub-menus to find it,
where I can select a recording, and with the push of only one corresponding
button next to the recording
of choice, have the radio key itself up, send the recording, and return to RX
all on it’s own.
The current system where you have to push the PTT, push the play button, and
release the
PTT seems a bit archaic.
2. Working a pileup on CW, I find it quite awkward to adjust CW speed on the
fly. Yes, it can be
done through the FlexControl (if you have one). But I would like to see another
method. When working
a large pileup, the stations come in at different speeds. It is cordial to
adjust your speed to the station
calling you. It can be time consuming to grab the slider and try to get to the
correct speed. Possibly
having 4 small boxes, where the speed can be user defined at say 20 25 30 35
wpm. Then all it would
require is just a click of the appropriate box to QRS to work a slow operator.
There are a few more much needed features that would be awesome to have, but I
have forgotten
what they were. But as far as bugs - yes it’s currently very stable.

PowerSDR is still supported. There has been no need for an update is all.
It's a mature software package.

Is PowerSDR no longer upgraded or supported? I have not used my Flex5000
in quite some time and expected to see an upgrade from 2.7.2 but there is
none.
