Re: [Flexradio] Problem with SDR in MOX
Is your rig actually being keyed up? Absolutely, I had the rig on a dummy load for testing purposes. Its the 1 watter fyi. Check your printer port. I got the symptoms you did by having the wrong printer port address. As far as I can tell, the printer address is also not altered by importing a database. Not at the rig right now, but I will check the address. I did not import any database and this was a completly fine working system, why would anything change the printer port address? Im still scratchin my head on this one. I have not disconnected the parrellel cable yet from the SDR-1000, guess I will do that next. However with no power on the radio hardware, I did not think that would be an issue.

Re: [Flexradio] Problem with SDR in MOX
Mike, This is probably a parallel cable connection issue. If the parallel cable is not properly seated, it is the same as asserting PTT. Check the parallel connections on both ends. You can disable PTT on the SetupGeneral tab to prove that the PTT is being asserted. One further note, you always have to disable PTT when you want to run the software without attachment to hardware. 73, Gerald -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Mike King - KM0T Sent: Friday, July 22, 2005 7:50 AM To: 'FlexRadio Mailing List' Subject: Re: [Flexradio] Problem with SDR in MOX Is your rig actually being keyed up?

Re: [Flexradio] Problem with SDR in MOX
Mike, With the power turned off to the radio, PTT is asserted. This comes as a result of the natural polarity state of the pins used for PTT. There was a problem in 1.4.3 that caused PTT to get stuck in such an instance. This has been addressed internally and will be seen in the next release.

Re: [Flexradio] Wave file playback ideas
Kurt, It probably isn't hard to tell that the wave file playback was an afterthought in the current console design. Going forward, we have a much better idea of what we want to do functionally and we are going through what is likely to be a relatively painful process of creating a better architecture for the console. I would imagine that the wave file playback would be a mode of it's own. It should only show the frequencies available (maybe 0 - 48KHz) and a zero line would be helpful. These things will only continue to improve over time. Thanks for the input. Eric Wachsmann FlexRadio Systems -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kurt Vangsness Sent: Thursday, July 21, 2005 8:47 PM To: FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz Subject: [Flexradio] Wave file playback ideas I've really enjoyed using the wave file playback feature but had a couple of thoughts that might make it more useful and wondered what others thought. First, with the wrap around behavior of tuning through the recorded bandwidth, it is very easy to loose track of where you are in the spectrum in the panadaptor. I'm thinking that a vertical bar at the original center frequency at the point when the wav file is would be nice. As you tune through the panadaptor spectrum, the vertical bar would move accordingly left or right on the panadaptor so that the original point of reference would be preserved. The other thing that would be nice would be to encode the original center frequency at the time the Record button was first pushed (filename will get pretty long with both the date/time and frequency though). Perhaps we could change to 24 hour UTC time and get back the 2 digits being used for AM/PM. Both of these ideas kind of fall apart if any tuning occured while the recording was going on, but I'd be happy with that limitation. One other thing - what happens to a Wave file record if you transmit while recording? I'd try it out but when it comes to transmitting I'm just a little shy of triggering unusual behavior. I'm guessing that nothing is recorded for the duration of transmitting. 73, Kurt KC9FOL ___ FlexRadio mailing list FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz

Re: [Flexradio] Wave file playback ideas
Eric / Kurt This continues to be one of my interest areas also, and glad it is still on the docket. I made a presentation to about 15 folks at the local radio club last night, and really tried to cover too much and a little too technically. One of the things I did do which was the most impressive to the group was the wave files playback on my notebook with the latest version of the code. I am well aware that making a I/Q demo version of the code is not trivial, and truly a separate project, but from the standpoint of selling radios it is SLICK! And should be pursued. Perhaps when the code is segmented, a separate demo receive console will be more trivial. If we want to make a presentation of the radio, THIS IS THE WAY TO GO and speaks louder than words! I am going to pare down the technical part of the presentation to a couple of slides and do pictures and the Radio Demo wav files. Scatter in slide show pictures of the latest and greatest stuff. Beppe's wood box PIC, SoftRock-40, Simon's HRD console, etc. It would also be nice to have install/uninstall files for Phil's com ports, ASIO4All, the Shuttle Pro (if optioned) and NOT the current hardware wizard options which obviously are not there and not required - (PA, USBParallel, UCB etc). I would like to continue the library of I/Q wav files on Flex-Radio-Friends.net. We should probably have 'test' files with strong signals, splattered signals, code practice, WEFAX, SSTV, RTTY etc! Folks, If you choose to upload files Please make the name more descriptive. i.e. Meteor Scatter CW, Two Tone Test, 60 DB test Signal. Etc.

Re: [Flexradio] (no subject)
Title: Message It was considered and then dropped previous to the adoption of the Delta 44 sound card. Assuming that all Delta 44 sound cards are similar enough, you could probably do this FOR THAT CARD ONLY. The other half of the issue is that there is some variable gain through the receiver due to small variances in components. This would account for less than 1dB for the level calibration. What can _not_ be done through the wave file stuff (without a radio) is Image Reject Calibration and PA Calibration. For both of these procedures, there is too much of the calibration associated with the radio itself.
