Re: [Flexradio] FW: 1.6.3 SVN 671
I've now got V1.6.3 running, thanks to a lot of help, and it seems to have inherited a problem that I used to have with some earlier versions which doesn't happen with V1.6.2. The problem is that the audio briefly stops if I do something else on the PC. For instance, when opening and closing emails. This doesn't happen on V1.6.2 as I say. Although there is just a faint 'click' every now and then. On V1.6.3 it is a definite pause. PC is a 2GHz AMD running Windows 2000 pro and the soundcard is an MP3+.

Re: [Flexradio] Frequency Calibration on Recent SVN's
Just to add to Jimmy's comments. After allowing the SDR-1k to warm up for hours, I tried the DSB method described here where you zero beat the constant tone with ticks (not just the ticks alone). After calibrating from wwv using 15.0 MHz, the DSB method indicated that the zero beat frequency was 14.95. This is easily done visually too by using the scope. When you are not on frequency, there are two separate waveforms on the scope. As you get closer to the zero beating the tone, it will appear as one waveform in the middle of the screen that doesn't jump around. Now the real question: is this a problem with the calibration routine of just an anomaly of using a frequency standard that is effected by atmospheric and solar factors? -Tim --- Integrated Technical Services Too much of everything is just enough. -Bob Barlow -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jimmy Jones Sent: Sunday, September 10, 2006 12:15 PM To: flexradio@flex-radio.biz Subject: Re: [Flexradio] Frequency Calibration on Recent SVN's I've noticed that the software does not cal wwv properly for some time now, On my radio it is always been down the band some.

Re: [Flexradio] Weird Problem with Vox
Hey Jimmy, I've had the same problem for some time, well, ever since I tried using VOX. I had best luck when I ran the VOX level up to like 1500+ or so, but still had problems with the rcvr tripping it when a loud station would come on. When I ran the level down to about 200 or so, it would hang and I had to shut the program down. I have suggested an anti-vox level option on the Feature Request. Depending on the local circumstances VOX can be useless without anti-vox. I would love to run VOX on SSB, but have given up on it for now. I do hope an anti-vox adjustment is in the works...

Re: [Flexradio] svn 671
All, Just loaded SVN 671, and I am seeing a transient when initially keying the radio that produces a momentary RF output that spikes to roughly 43 Watts. My PWR is set for 40W, and I am using a foot switch to key the radio. I also see the spike when using the MOX button, and with the Mic Gain set at 0. I am using a Firebox for the audio interface. I also hear a loud resounding pop when transitioning from transmit back to receive. When the Firebox is disconnected from the radio, the symptoms go away. Is this what was being referred to in the beware message for Firebox users? The spike is not prevalent in V1.6.1 or V1.6.2, but the loud pop when transitioning from transmit to receive is.

Re: [Flexradio] FW: 1.6.3 SVN 668 - Includes some great enhancements
Hi Gary, If you have either the official Flex code or my code with my mods, then, in console.cs: picDisplay_MouseMove() contains the calculation for the cursor frequency freq (shown under the left-side of the panadapter), which I round when in Panadapter mode *and* in LSB, USB, DSB, AM, or SAM (forgot to add FM). picDisplay_MouseDown() contains the calculation for the VFOA (or VFOB) frequency. I haven't looked at Eric's code for a while, but if you look at these two routines in his code it should be pretty evident what's going on and where you would want to change the rounding.

Re: [Flexradio] svn 671
BEWARE. We are attempting to fix a problem with the switching. The new switching code has been checked in with arbitrary values for certain important parameters. If you are using a FIREBOX, do not use 671. Go to an earlier version (easy to do in TortoiseSVN). The spike you see can easily be large enough to fry U2, the QSD.DO NOT USE this code to transmit. As always, SVN code is user beware. Thus the note.

Re: [Flexradio] Frequency Calibration on Recent SVN's
I use the Phase 1 display and SAM mode. Use the Freq Cal button to get close. On the Hardware Config tab you can use the up and down on the DDS Clock Offset to jump by tens until you get the pattern to rotate slowly clockwise and counter-clockwise. Then you can type in values in between to get it to stop. WWV is not drifting. At least not an amount that you would be able to measure. If you have the thermistor crystal heater stability mod, and your SDR-1000 has been on a while, you can get quite close. The instability left is probably from changes in propagation path, ignoring possible CPU clock and sound card clock drift. If you watch it for a while, you can get a feel for the propagation changes and have a pretty good inference for the actual frequency. When I got my SDR-1000, I wondered why anyone would ever need the phase display. Now I would miss it if it were gone. Mike - AA8K Jimmy Jones wrote: Exactly Another weird little thing I've noticed when tuning using DSB is in the phase display mode.

Stig, Open the Setup Form and go to the General Tab - Options sub tab. There is a control there to disable PTT. The default shortcut for PTT is Ctrl+M. Also, after you have clicked on the MOX button, you can push the spacebar to activate the last button. This can function as a pseudo PTT control.

What do you mean, diasbling PTT? I click on the MOX to send. If i click it in this state I think it goes back on again. There must be something wrong with my USB-cable/interface. Unless you have some better sugestions.. Btw, I cannot find a key to use as PTT, isn't there?? It really should be one! (Setup - Keyboard..) ?

Stig, The software is detecting PTT and it seems like it is not terminated into a radio if it is reading 500W+ on the power meter. Try disabling PTT and see what happens.

It sounds like you might not be setting the up the USB Adapter in the PowerSDR software. Note that even after installing the driver, you still have to go into the Setup Form and click the USB Adapter.

Re: [Flexradio] FW: 1.6.3 SVN 668 - Includes some great enhancements
Yes, that's what you do for 1KHz rounding. Pretty simple, isn't it? By the way... If you want 500 Hz rounding instead of 1 KHz, change the rounding to: Math.Round((freq*2),3)/2. For example: VFOAFreq = Math.Round((freq*2),3)/2; Also - the change you made will *always* round the point-and-click frequency to the nearest KHz. You may not want this gross rounding in CW mode (for example). I condition my rounding upon being in the Panadapter and having one of the voice modes selected. Otherwise, I default to Math.Round(freq, 6). - Jeff, K6JCA -Original Message- From: Gary W Strong [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, September 10, 2006 12:30 PM To: 'Jeff Anderson' Cc: flexradio@flex-radio.biz Subject: RE: [Flexradio] FW: 1.6.3 SVN 668 - Includes some great enhancements Jeff: You made it easy. In fact, to get what I wanted, all I had to do was change the 6 significant digits after decimal to 3 in the picDisplay_MouseDown() code as shown: if(current_click_tune_mode == ClickTuneMode.VFOA) VFOAFreq = Math.Round(freq, 3); else VFOBFreq = Math.Round(freq, 3); Thanks!!

I haven't looked at Eric's code for a while, but if you look at these two routines in his code it should be pretty evident what's going on and where you would want to change the rounding. And if you'd like a copy of my source, just ask! - Jeff -Original Message- From: Gary W Strong [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, September 10, 2006 9:54 AM To: 'Jeff Anderson' Cc: flexradio@flex-radio.biz Subject: RE: [Flexradio] FW: 1.6.3 SVN 668 - Includes some great enhancements Jeff: Can you tell me where in the code you normalize the mouse position x-axis when clicking in the panadaptor frame?

My code mods actually round (when in voice mode) to the nearest 100 Hz (rather than 1 KHz), *except* when fully zoomed out. In that case, because the pixel-to-pixel delta represents steps in excess of 100 Hz, I round to the nearest 500 Hz. Per Dan's question - personally I find that, for voice, 100/500 Hz rounding is fine for click tuning, and I made the decision not to tie this increment to the mouse-wheel tuning increment for a number of reasons: 1) the increment really should relate (relate loosely) to the pixel-to-pixel frequency delta, which changes as one zooms the display in and out (per my earlier description of my rounding change from 100 Hz to 500 Hz), and 2) because I prefer the additional flexibility in tuning I get as a result of keeping these two increments seperate (one increment size used when click tuning, and another immediately available when scrolling with mouse-wheel). - Jeff, K6JCA ___ 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] Where is the good service???
My service from flex has been excellent. From your symptoms it sounds like either your cable is not installed properly or you do not have the USB adapter option checked under the General/hardware setup tab of the setup screens.
