Re: [Flexradio] Using a Behringher Xenyx 802 mixer with SDR1K and other dramas

2006-09-19 Thread José Dumoulin
My setup :

SDR1k with 100 W PA,
M-Audio Delta 44,
Delta 44 interface designed by Eric, AA4SW and Tony KB9YIG. This board 
replaces the M-Audio breakout box. It is screwed directly on the D44 
connector,
Poor man UCB board designed by M0ZAZ, fitted on the X2 connector (back 
of the SDR), for amplifier switching,
Heil PR40 with Behringher UB802. One of the ancient cables supplied with 
the D44 goes from L and R Main out of the Behringher to the Mic in 
connector of the Eric/Tony interface.

On the console, CPDR at 1, Mic gain at 10. Preamplification is given by 
the UB802. Equalizer adjusted on the UB802, not on the console.

Now using svn 682, but I test all Alpha versions.

Conclusion : very satisfied by comments received.

 I've finally got my SDR1K working again after a 2 month break due to rf 
 problems/ no time/ antennas stuffed etc !!
 I still have a drama whereby it often doesnt actually receive unless I 
 switch it off/on several times and go in and out of the software etc, 
 like it has always had, but now it also shows the wrong signal on the 
 wrong frequency. By that I mean I can be listening to an am station on 
 720 khz and then tune up the freq by 2-3 mhz and still be receiving the 
 am station , that one puzzles me. And I've given up on the USB adapter 
 cable, just too unreliable.
 However the reason for this email is I now use an NCS 3240 Multi 
 switcher between my Heil HM10 and Heil iC pro headset and my SDR1K, 
 Tentec OmniVI, Icom IC910 and Yeasu Ft 8900.
 I decided the SDR would go through  a Behringher 802 mixer to play 
 around with the audio.
 I have the correct lead from the NCS to the mixer supplied by NCS , and 
 made up a straight unbalanced mono 1/4 jack plug lead from the output 
 of the mixer to the input of the Delta 44 breakout box input 3.
 Both mic's work well with all the other radios, but so far I have no 
 output from the SDR/Behringher combination, even after playing around 
 with settings on the mixer and powersdr for hours !
 I know there are those of you out there who have tried similar 
 combinations and was wondering if anyone can advise me please ?
 I really like my SDR1K , when it works, but for some reason it just 
 seems to have a mind of its own!!
 BTW I am now running SVN681 and this seems to be the most success I've 
 ever had.
 Since I bought the radio in Feb this year I've managed only 2 qso's 
 without things tripping, dropping out  or switching off on their own, 
 mostly due to a poor earth system which has now been rectified.
 I wish it would work reliably, or I could find out what I'm doing wrong 
 , which is more likely !!
 Thanks folks

I had similar problems so I switched back to 6.1.2. Now everything is really 
good. Wait till they officially release 6.1.3. It should be fine then too.
