[Flexradio] High SWR with Amp

Another problem that someone may be able shed some light upon
Yesterday I was tuning up my Amp on 17M, and suddenly the High SWR
warning come up on the Console, and the power output cut back
I have never experienced this before, as there is NO SWR problem, the
SDR is seeing 1:1 (the input to the Amp is tuned with an antenna
matcher)
This problem does not occur on 20M, only seems to be on 17M, have not
tried any other bands
Does anyone perhaps have any idea as why this is happening ?

Have you tried to completely _uninstall_ the card before moving it to another 
slot and before reinstalling the drivers ?
You can do it by choosing Remove in the Device Manager panel.

Re: [Flexradio] Delta 44 Driver Installation

2006-10-23 Thread FlexRadio - Eric
There is a good chance the card is not completely seated.  Double check that
the connection is even across the whole connector.  Many times it will be
the backside of the card (facing the front of the PC) that pops up just
enough to cause problems.

 Having some strange problems re-installing the Delta 44 Drivers
 I moved the sound card from one PCI slot to another (to make room for a

 flow for the graphics card fan
 Anyhow, I moved the sound card to the next PCI slot and the Delta 44
 would not work. I then tried to re-install the Delta Driver, and it

 Does anyone know why I would be having this problem with installing the

You have to refer to your mobo documentation.  If it isn't there, then
you will have to ask tech support for your mobo what interrupts
(devices) are using which PCI slots.  If you do not have a non-shared
slot, pick one that you think will have the fewest number of interrupts.

[Flexradio] CAT experimenting

2006-10-23 Thread A.R.S. - W5AMI
I've been experimenting with CAT control of the SDR1K using Delphi and
something is not quite right.  I can send say FA; to the SDR to get
the freq of VFO 1, and reading the COM port will at times return the
proper value as expected, however at times it returns nothing, then
when it finally does, it returns several iterations of the freq for
each time I sent FA; before.

Sometimes, it seems like the COM port times out or something to that
effect.  I can go into PowerSDR and toggle the CAT off and then back
on and it will work for a bit.  I know this sounds sort of vague...

Can someone tell me what I'm missing that may have had the same issue
at first?  I've done Async stuff before with no problems, so this one
has me lost.

I'm trying to marry up my new LP-100 Digi Vector wattmeter with the
SDR.  I can command and poll the LP-100 with no problem via a COM
port, however I've never attempted any CAT control of rigs with my own
software.

Thanks for any suggestions.

This may be the problem, failing that use Portmon to monitor the data flow,

Re: [Flexradio] CAT experimenting

2006-10-23 Thread A.R.S. - W5AMI
Hello Tim and Simon,

I am using N8VB's vCOM with the SDR on port 6.

Tim, I am currently using 1.6.3 SVN 693.

I've found the CAT command list, however an example of sending a CAT
command and reading the port for a result would be of great help.  I
know the ';' is used to terminate all commands.  What about a cr+lf as
well?  I've tried this both ways however...

Soon as I send 'FA;' to the com port, I check the buffer and there are
zero bytes waiting to get.  There is something I'm missing on
protocol, as I can use TERM most the time to send and receive data to
COM6 on the SDR, but even it sometimes returns a null.

Thanks for any advice.

Brian

I tried using a loop until something came in, and it of course just

What about handshaking?  XON/XOFF???  Something else?

It's getting better now.

Well, soon as I thought it was getting better, it started acting just
as before, even with increased delays.  I can change the code to read
COM1 where my LP-100 wattmeter is at 38,400 baud and read it instantly
and without any timers in the code.

This is so intermittent, I don't know if it's the vCOM or the Flex.
Maybe I need to slow down the baud rate from 56K on the Flex to 38K
like the LP-100...

Hi,

I want to use Tortoise SVN to manage my customized PowerSDR source code. I
make a lot of changes to PowerSDR and would like to keep up with the new 
goodies from Flex HQ. 

I'd like some ideas on how best to set up Tortoise/SVN.  I don't have time
to update my working copy on a weekly basis, so I would probably do it every
month or so.

Since I have several computers on my LAN, should I set up a local SVN
Windows server?  Sometimes I develop code on my notebook but mostly on the SDR 
machine.

Since my computers are secured I can't share drives/files directly and I'm 
thinking the SVN server will let me move/update files.  Will this work?

Flex SVN is the repository that all changes get committed to. It seams
to me that I need to do things differently.  I don't think Eric wants my
Commits on the Flex repo. 

Is anyone developing there own enhancements while keeping up to date with
the official main line code developments.  If so, any recommendations?  I
really miss the wave record/playback stuff I developed back in v1.4.5 pre12
and would like to integrate it into the latest console.

TIA,
John

50ms is *not* enough, use 1 second. Think about it - you are the foreground 
process getting all those nice priority boots from the hamsters running 
inside your PC, the poor old SDR console code is chugging along doing many 
things. You'll have to wait longer and give it a better chance of catching 
up.

What I do is try a command three times until I get an understandable result, 
even if it's an error.

Use Portmon, watch another program talking to SDR, compare the Portmon log 
to your own. Portmon comes from www.sysinternals.com . It's free - like the 
best things.

Re: [Flexradio] High SWR with Amp

2006-10-23 Thread Ray Andrews
Dave,

I have a similar situation on 75m.  I have a Gap TitanDX antenna mounted 
60-70 feet away from the operating position.  I have a 160m off-center fed 
dipole that runs 10-15 feet above the roof directly over the operating 
position (total distance about 20-25 feet from radio).

If I use the Gap antenna on 75m, I have no problems either barefoot or with 
the amp.
If I use the dipole barefoot (no tuner), I have no problems.
If I use the dipole with the amp, PowerSDR says High SWR  shuts down.

I have no problems on any other band, with or without the amp.

My gut feeling is that it is an RF feedback problem.  My next task is to 
revamp the shack grounding system.  It desparately needs it anyway.

Hi,

One second before I declare the radio on the other end to be AWOL. Let me 
know the programming language (I use C++) and I'll provide some pseudo code.

Essentially you read x bytes with a 1 second timeout, if you get your x 
bytes (or a ;) inside 1 second then your loop ends. For more info mail me 
direct.

Your LP-1000 doesn't have much to do, it's got a pretty hefty CPU inside as 
well.

And get Portmon going, it will save a *lot* of hassle, it's a great program 
for this type of thing. You can watch HRD chatting to the SDR.

It has been a few years since I was a computer technician, but back then the

Oh okay Simon, I see what you mean now.  I thought you meant that you
ALWAYS waited 1 second prior to reading the input buffer.

I use Delphi (Pascal), however I know 'C' and many others, but don't

 I've been experimenting with CAT control of the SDR1K using Delphi and
 something is not quite right.  I can send say FA; to the SDR to get
 the freq of VFO 1, and reading the COM port will at times return the
 proper value as expected, however at times it returns nothing, then
 when it finally does, it returns several iterations of the freq for
 each time I sent FA; before.

No, I think there's a sort of vCOM solution available from MixW but N8VB's 
is really good.

 Are you thinking of the REAudio drivers that comes with the RigExpert SD/ 
 MixW? I've never been able to get that to work.

I don't know off hand, but I'm guessing that there are some on the
flex-radio-friends.net site.

Re: [Flexradio] SVN Use Recomendations Wanted

2006-10-23 Thread Eric Wachsmann
John,

If you have a linux server box setup, you could use this to run an SVN
server.  However, you probably do not need it to do what you're trying to do
(integrate your changes with ongoing FlexRadio changes).  This is automatic
behavior that works 90% of the time.  There are those rare cases where both
you and Flex have both modified the same section of code.  This is where you
run into problems (SVN calls them conflicts).  It is relatively easy to work
this sort of thing out provided that it is not a huge block of code on both
sides.

On a side note, I use a local SVN server on a windows box just to track
small internal test projects.  It is invaluable to be able to revert to
previous versions of code easily for comparison.

I would suggest trying to use the Flex SVN server (thanks to Dale, BTW for
hosting) initially and then you can always build on that once you are
familiar with how it works.

 Hi,
 
 I want to use Tortoise SVN to manage my customized PowerSDR source code. I
 make a lot of changes to PowerSDR and would like to keep up with the new
 goodies from Flex HQ.
 
 I'd like some ideas on how best to set up Tortoise/SVN.  I don't have time
 to update my working copy on a weekly basis, so I would probably do it
 every
 month or so.
 
 Since I have several computers on my LAN, should I set up a local SVN
 Windows server?  Sometimes I develop code on my notebook but mostly on the
 SDR machine.
 
 Since my computers are secured I can't share drives/files directly and I'm
 thinking the SVN server will let me move/update files.  Will this work?
 
 Flex SVN is the repository that all changes get committed to. It seams
 to me that I need to do things differently.  I don't think Eric wants my
 Commits on the Flex repo.
 
 Is anyone developing there own enhancements while keeping up to date with
 the official main line code developments.  If so, any recommendations?  I
 really miss the wave record/playback stuff I developed back in v1.4.5
 pre12
 and would like to integrate it into the latest console.
 
 TIA,
 John

Re: [Flexradio] CAT experimenting

2006-10-23 Thread Alex Gonzalez
In VB6 there is a event driven command called OnCommEvent which takes care
of those waiting milliseconds automatically for you, is there any thing like
it on C#?

I.E.

' The OnComm event is used for trapping communications events and errors.
Private Static Sub MSComm1_OnComm()
Dim EVMsg$
Dim ERMsg$

' Branch according to the CommEvent property.
Select Case MSComm1.CommEvent
' Event messages.
Case comEvReceive
Dim Buffer As Variant
Buffer = MSComm1.Input
Debug.Print Receive -   StrConv(Buffer, vbUnicode)
ShowData txtTerm, (StrConv(Buffer, vbUnicode))

Etc...Etc...blablabla

What will be the equivalent on C# if any?

50ms is *not* enough, use 1 second. Think about it - you are the foreground 
process getting all those nice priority boots from the hamsters running 
inside your PC, the poor old SDR console code is chugging along doing many 
things. You'll have to wait longer and give it a better chance of catching 
up.

What I do is try a command three times until I get an understandable result,

even if it's an error.

Use Portmon, watch another program talking to SDR, compare the Portmon log 
to your own. Portmon comes from www.sysinternals.com . It's free - like the 
best things.

 Yes, I realized that not long after I posted my last message.  I'm now
 letting it sleep 50 ms before trying to read the input buffer and that
 helps a lot, but still it misses some never returning anything.  Maybe
 I need to increase my sleep time a bit, I could sure use it ;)
