Re: [Flexradio] USB Adapter Disabling itself for no apparent reason?
I've found this problem with USB connections. I simply unplug the device and plug it back in then it usually connects. I'll look in to it, I do not know how to make it more persistant at this time.

Re: [Flexradio] Looking for a microphone for my SDR1000
Tim, I use a Heil PR-20. It is a good mike and not that expensive. I use it with a FireBox which has a preamp. I bought a cable from Heil and put a connector on it that fits the SDR-1000 box and I use a cable from the SDR-1000 box into the FireBox. That way the PTT on the mike stand and also on a foot switch work. The mike works well, but needs some equalizer to sound natural as it is too flat. 73, Chas ___ FlexRadio mailing list FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archive Link: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ FlexRadio Homepage: http://www.flex-radio.com

Hi Tim, Gerald and all, That is good advice, but don't forget to check the USB connection on the set-up window. However, it is irritating that all the small switching transients coming from the mains power circuits trigger the USB adapter off. There is no better help but good grounding of your house mains power system, and even better in your hamshack for your computer, all peripherial equipment, the radio itself, of course, and finally the RF-ground. How to lay out all the grounding cables and points and draw the signal cables to avoid grounding loops, that is more art than science. Every location is different, I simply can't give any suggestions. If you cannot eliminate the transient, you still can suppress its influence to the sensitive USB circuits. The apparent reason of your problem is the common mode transient current that somehow got coupled to your USB cable. You can reduce the coupled current (and the interference) by increasing the common mode impedance of the cable. Use ferrite chokes at both ends of the cable. I use four turns of cable around the center pole of a double E-core made of grade N27 ferrite. http://kotisivu.dnainternet.net/ahti/sdr-1000/usbferrite.jpg Good luck and 73, Ahti OH2RZ ___ FlexRadio mailing list FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archive Link: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ FlexRadio Homepage: http://www.flex-radio.com ___ FlexRadio mailing list FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archive Link: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ FlexRadio Homepage: http://www.flex-radio.com
Re: [Flexradio] Problem with VAC and PwrFlex pgm freezing on loading
With VAC 3.1 (demo) installed on my PC, PowerSDR freezes while loading. The freeze is at the start-up window at Initializing PortAudio- 5 seconds. If I unintall VAC, then PowerSDR loads and works properly. I'm using this now with a Creative MP-3+ usb card for use with a Softrock board. (soon I hope SDR-1000) I have uninstalled and reinstalled the CreativeLab drivers with no changes. PowerSDR only stops loading if VAC 3.1 is installed. I have to go to Task Manager to stop the load attempt. Using the latest SVN 660, but same issue with the non SVN original version of PowerSDR.

[Flexradio] Sound card: M-Audio Delta 44, 66, or 1010?
I am shopping for a sound card. I see the M-audio series is available in 4 channel, 6 channel, and 10 channel versions. Delta 44 (4 channel): http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=productlistA=detailsQ=sku=196845is=REGaddedTroughType=search Delta 66 (6 channel): http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=productlistA=detailsQ=sku=196846is=REGaddedTroughType=search Delta 1010LT (8 channel): http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=productlistA=detailsQ=sku=250599is=REGaddedTroughType=search Not much price difference between them. Would the 6 or 8 channel version work as well for applications such as the SDR-1000? It might be nice to have those extra channels available for other processing needs if there is no downside.

[Flexradio] What is 6M output power of SDR-1000?
Specs of the rig says: 100 Watt PEP HF, 500mW 6m. Is this correct for the version with the 100W PA - only 500 milliwatts on 6M? I see that the accessory PA module is rated at 100W on all HF bands (50W on 60 meters). I presume this is the same PA module that comes in the 100W version.

[Flexradio] Anyone know how to debug into the Native code from PowerSDR
This is probably only of interest to the developer types. Anyone know how to get Visual Studio to debug into native code from the PowerSDR C# code? I'm trying to run down a bug where PortAudio initialization resets the Delta 44 sampling rate even when another soundcard is setup to be used with PowerSDR, I'm sure it's the PortAudio init doing it -- if I breakpoint the C# code that calls the PorrtAudio initialization I see the sample rate get changed with the call. Problem is I've found no way to convince VisualStudio to let me debug into the native PortAudio code. Anyone know how to do this?

Re: [Flexradio] Anyone know how to debug into the Native code from PowerSDR
When PortAudio builds its index of devices, hosts, etc., it choose to run through the devices, hosts, speeds, depth, etc. by setting rather than assume you are an adult. It is one of its major drawbacks. You should see how long it takes for PortAudio to initialize on my machine when I have all my sound stuff hooked up.
