I'm now thinking of buying another SDR1000, with the HF PA in and the 144MHz transverter ready built, as I have yet to get round to building the one that Eric and others helped me to get when DEM still only did the kit version. I may well sell on my original SDR1000, but the loss of the SDR receiver, and the realisation of what the FT817 is not capable of, has me in withdrawl symptoms at the moment. If I do, I'll probably also get the D44 soundcard, and use the MP3+ for digital modes instead.

Re: [Flexradio] Which way round?
Dave, Here another hint. Plug your headphone or speaker directly into the phone connector of your MP3+ and press TUNE on the console. Now you should hear a tone with a frequency corresponding to your setting in the Setup/DSP/Keyer/CW pitch. The tone must vary in frequency when scrolling the setting of the cw pitch up and down. The QSD IC2 needs this tone to create a carrier and and low impedance speaker or head phone will attenuate the required signal from the soundcard. I am using the MP3+ since three years for cw and phone while waiting for the ultimate soundcard. To avoid said attenuation I use ahead of my speakers a stereo amplifier with high input impedance. vy 73 de SM6OMH Willi - Original Message - From: "Eric Wachsmann" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'Willi Reppel'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "'David Ackrill'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "'Philip M.

Re: [Flexradio] Which way round?
Dave, Have a look at figure 8, TRX board schematic of the SDR1000 hardware description and notice that the phone out from your MP3+ is connected via connector J3 and relay K1 to either the transmitter QSD IC2 or speaker connector J2. During transmit relay K1 connects the phone output of your Mp3+ to the transmitter while the signalpath goes from J3 to J2 during reception. Hope this sheds some light on this matter. vy 73 de SM6OMH Willi - Original Message - From: "David Ackrill" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Willi Reppel" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: "Philip M.

Re: [Flexradio] Which way round?
Dave, This reminded me of something. You won't get good audio output if you have something plugged into both the Line Out and the headphone output on the MP3+. This will load down the output and you'll get very little drive out of the radio. Perhaps this was the issue?

Re: [Flexradio] Which way round?
Dave Make sure that the volume control on your MP3+ is turned to position "max" to get output from the transmitter. vy 73 de SM6OMH Willi - Original Message - From: "David Ackrill" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Philip M.

Re: [Flexradio] Which way round?
That's a relief then. The only time it really mattered, for me, was Red on the Right at the Rear. Which indicated that the Red phase went to the right hand lug of an 11kV triff box as you looked at it from the back of the switchgear... That was before the IEE and the EU standards people got involved though... Anyway, so the MP3+ connections wont be the problem. I'm still at a loss as to know why my SDK1K would not transmit though.

[Flexradio] Which way round?
Whilst my SDR1000 is away being repaired, I have been looking at the connections between the Soundblaster MP3+ and the radio. Line in when to line in and line out to line out, so that's OK, but checking the red and white connectors shows that the red is connected to the ring (middle connection) and White to the tip on each lead. Is that the right way round? I'd have thought that the red went to the tip, but I could be wrong. Anyone else using the MP3+ care to check for me please?
