[Flexradio] Power SDR 2.35 "Unhandled exception" with RX2

I recently updated to PowerSDR v2.3.5 from v2.0.16. Everything seems to work well until I active RX2, at which point I get an "Overflow error" and am given the option to continue or quit. If I continue, the panadaptor display is replaced with a white rectangle with crossed red lines. Below is th

Re: [Flexradio] How do you keep the house alarm from chirping?

I had the same problem with chirping smoke detectors and burglar alarm system when I operated with my amplifier. I remedied the situation by using snap on ferrite beads on each sensor and the wires into and out of the alarm box as well as at each control pad. Craig, AE7I _

Re: [Flexradio] Pauses in cw character transmission

Update: I have downloaded PowerSDR 2.0.16, removed McAfee antivirus, loaded ESET Nod32 antivirus (much kinder in terms of system overhead), and am trying to trim my unneeded Windows 7 services. So far it has made a favorable difference in cw transmission, however my computer is still doing some u

Re: [Flexradio] Pauses in cw character transmission

I appreciate all of the good suggestions and this weekend I will try the following: 1. Neal's suggestion: Turn off Windows Search in Windows 7 and modify the Windows Update to "do not check all". It does seem as if another process is periodically working and causing a delay in the cw processing.

Re: [Flexradio] Pauses in cw character transmission

Tim, I left out some information on my original post (sent the wrong version of the two I wrote). To test things out I transmitted into a dummy load, 0 watts, and sent a string of dits. Sporadically, and not in a regular pattern, their are pauses. When sending cw, these sporadic pauses throw of

Hello, I am a Flex-5000A user who has never quite become comfortable using it on cw. I am using it with a Dell Dimension E520 running Windows 7. It has 5 GB of RAM. I have tried using an external keyer (LogiKit CMOS-4) and recently the internal keyer, but have audio pops, glitches and delays wh

[Flexradio] Digital Mode Setup Question

I am having difficulty setting my transmit level for PSK31 and wonder if anyone could help. I am using MixW with my Flex-5000a using PowerSDR v1.10.4 SVN:2023. According to the instructions I should set MixW to TX and then adjust the TX level until the ALC is near 0 dB. However, PowerSDR (in DIG

Has anyone found the correct combination of settings to control the Flex-5000a with CommCat? If so, I would appreciate your settings used for both CommCat and the Flex-5000a. I am using virtual com port pair COM6 and COM16. When I activate the CAT control for keying, the Flex-5000 goes immediate

Dudley, When I run the Audio Balance Test, I have tried fully cranking up the Bose powered speakers (connected to the back of the Flex-5000) and the headphones plugged into the front panel Phones jack, but can't hear a thing from right or left channel during the test. However, when using the rig,

Dudley, Thanks for your tips on using the 'Wave' function for recording and subsequent conversion to MP3 format. I followed your instructions and set the sample rate in PowerSDR Wave to 11025, post-processed receive audio, and pre-processed audio transmit. A 15-second recording of a SSB station

Re: [Flexradio] Multiple tones on cw transmit or tune

I didn't notice any change when I toggled the 'SR' button and it was present to varying degrees from 60M through 10M. When I put my Kenwood receiver in AM mode, I could hear a 60 Hz signal on the carrier, so I think you may be correct about some form of ground loop. I disconnected everything from

[Flexradio] Capturing audio for website

My Flex-5000a receives fine via the speaker jack in the back and phone jack in the front, including the MuliRX and BIN options. However, when I use the "Audio Balance Test", I can't hear any tone in either right or left speaker. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks, Craig, AE7I -- nex

[Flexradio] Multiple tones on cw transmit or tune

Yesterday I worked a local friend on 40-meters cw. He was listening with his K3 and said my signal had a musical quality to it and appeared wide on a spectrum display. Listening closer, he thought that there was a main tone at 1500 and additional tones at 300 and 100 Hz (I'm not sure how he was m

Re: [Flexradio] Loss of receive with preserved transmit

The QSK setting refers to the PowerSDR. There is also a QSK setting on MixW, but that only comes into play when using MixW to send code. I was keying the Flex-5000 using a LogiKit Keyer. Craig, AE7I On 10/31/07, Mike Schelly <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Is there a QSK (TX?) delay setting in

[Flexradio] Loss of receive with preserved transmit

On a few occasions, while operating cw, I have noted that the receiver suddenly goes quiet while the transmitter continues to work fine. It happened today. I pushed "Stop" and "Start" on PowerSDR without effect. I then shutdown PowerSDR and power cycled the Flex-5000a. When I restarted PowerSDR
