[Flexradio] DSP Windows?

2006-12-23 Thread Ahti Aintila
Eric and the whole Software Team,

Thank you for the great v. 1.8.0. Nothing to complain - and that's
something that I usually don't do. Just a question this time:

I followed the recommendation of Eric and Bob and let the PowerSDR
build the mdb-file instead of transferring my previous one. I noticed
that the default DSP window was Hanning instead of Blackman-Harris
that I have been using earlier. Wouldn't Blackman-Harris give a better
skirt selectivity? What is the other side of the coin?

My warmest Season's Greetings,
Ahti OH2RZ

[Flexradio] New Radio

2006-12-23 Thread Frank Mayer
I just got my new SDR-1000 yesterday.  I'm using the new v1.8.0 softwareAll 
is well except that when I'm on AM and tune to 3885 the screen reads 75M AM 
Calling Frequency and the rig will not transmit any power until I at least 
move the vfo 1hz on either side so the 75M AM Calling Frequency disapears.  
Any ideas?
Frank,  WY3D

[Flexradio] Need Help with popping in rx audio

2006-12-23 Thread A.R.S. - W5AMI
I hope someone can steer me in the right direction.

I've been using the Flex for some time, and have never had problems
such as this until just recently.  I feel certain it's something in
Windoze that causing the problem, however I've tried everything I know
to do short of reformatting and re-installing the entire operating
system.

As I am listening to the SDR, at nearly one minute intervals the rx
begins popping, about 12 times to be exact and probably 1 sec apart,
then stops until another minute has passed.  During the popping, the
CPU's only go up to about 14% max.  I'm using a Dell Precision 360,
Pentium 4 with 512Meg of ram, XP Pro SP2.  Delta-44.  I've tried using
a different release of PowerSDR with no change in the popping.

I have also noticed that loading something simple like my browser now
causes PowerSDR to nearly drop out completely.  Never had that problem
before.

I have checked for viruses and found none.  I also downloaded and paid
for a program called XP Repair, and it made no difference.  I've
defragmented the hard drive, and been through the tips on optimizing
Windows as well.  I also downloaded the current D-44 drivers and
re-installed them.

Can anyone tell me what to try next?  Are there any other programs out
there which can, and will optimize my system correctly, hopefully
making this problem go away?

I'd like to just switch to Linux, but there doesn't seem to be any
complete GUI interfaces out there for the SDR.

TIA
Brian / w5ami

Re: [Flexradio] [FlexRadio] PowerSDR Equalizer does not save settings for later recall

2006-12-23 Thread Robert Cleve
Tim,

If you mean by going into the Setup menu and clicking on Apply and then OK
then this doesn't work for me. Doing that, and then after choosing a
different Transmit Profile, causes the saved EQ settings to disappear. When
I go back to the Transmit Profile where I had originally saved the EQ
setting it was gone. Running here v1.8.0.

H.  Sounds like something new in your Windoze.

Have you tried running Windows Task Manager
(Ctrl-Alt-Delete) and clicking on the Processes tab.

You can click twice on the CPU tab and it will sort
the processes to show you from the most CPU down to
the least CPU.  See if you can identify the culprit.
You can Google whatever shows up when your SDR-1000
starts popping.


It also may be a buffer size issue.

Thanks again Mike.  Yeah, I've watched the processes for probably

legit processes too.

I've tried all combo's of buffer sizes with no change.  This seems to
be a timed event, once on the average of about 60 seconds.  Then the
pops (sounds like a tiny galloping horse) go for about 5 to 10
seconds.

Well, Microsoft has just gone too far this time. It is yet more reasons 
to install Linux. Linux is doing well enough at the moment, without

I am sure that the users will just purchase EDVDs (China's HD DVD 
format) instead. It is free of IP and will suit open source very well.
In open source, the only features that get implemented are the ones 
user's want, so I don't think open source will get round to implementing

don't want it.

Brian -- these things can be positively maddening to track down.  Can you 
think of any new applications or hardware you installed in the near 
vicinity of the problem starting?If you've added new USB or Firewire 
attached hardware you can try booting with it disconnected as a diagnostic 
to try and identify likely suspects causing the problem.

Another thing to try is adjusting PowerSDR's priority -- 
Setup-General-Options-Process Priority.  I've ended up with mine set to 
Real Time to exorcize popping RX problems.   I'm running an Athlon 2100 on 
XP  - not the speediest bit of hardware these days so not surprised I had 
to push it to real time to get rid of the pops.

Best of luck with it - 'tis no fun trying to hunt down such an issue.

Brian,

Well it looks like everything from viruses, priority settings, to erroneous
processes have been covered in the various replies.  So I will throw out
something new, paging.  You mentioned you had 512mb of memory, which should
be sufficient.  Is this actually two sticks of 256mb?  Could one have become
flakey?  This would cause a lot of paging in and out of the one good stick,
which could affect SDR performance.  Try running one of the various free
memory tests programs and see how well your sticks do.  Just a shot in the
dark while coffee deprived, but I thought I would pass it along.  Now if I
can just get the coffee pot to crank out the goods a little faster.

Good luck on the troubleshooting!!

Block LMS is now the default for both.   NR gain 10,   ANF gain 25 are

ONLY the gain has an impact.

Re: [Flexradio] Need Help with popping in rx audio

2006-12-23 Thread Robert McGwier
Mike:

Try moving the audio card into a different slot if it is PCI.  It sounds 
to me like you just MIGHT have interrupt sharing problems.  Everyone 
just expects all of that to work like magic.  Even I get caught 
occasionally by having these assumptions. 

Can you go back to an older version of the software and have this stop?

Can you turn the display off and have this stop?

This is not quite as maddening to the software developers as it would be 
to you the frustrated user but it is maddening nevertheless.

I submitted changes to 1.9.0 beta last evening that are somewhat 
significant in that a major foundational library has undergone major 
changes.  I was watching as my nearly two year old Pentium 4 HT machine 
was running about 5% CPU doing 11 fps update of the panadapter without a 
single pop.  It is a maddening thing for us to not be able to recreate 
these issues because then we could more easily find them.

 You can click twice on the CPU tab and it will sort
 the processes to show you from the most CPU down to
 the least CPU.  See if you can identify the culprit.
 You can Google whatever shows up when your SDR-1000
 starts popping.


 It also may be a buffer size issue.
 

 Thanks again Mike.  Yeah, I've watched the processes for probably
 hours and nothing seems to be hogging cpu's.  They all seem to be
 legit processes too.

 I've tried all combo's of buffer sizes with no change.  This seems to
 be a timed event, once on the average of about 60 seconds.  Then the
 pops (sounds like a tiny galloping horse) go for about 5 to 10
 seconds.

 Thanks for the help and suggestions.

There are a lot of programs that now call home to get the latest

all the stuff not needed to run the radio.

Thats Plan A.

Plan B.

Set up an extra hard drive with the minimum software to run the 
SDR-1000.  Don't even connect to the net.  No firewall or virus stuff 
either.  Now I need to figure out Cable Select to pick the drive during 
boot up.

Ideas?  Comments?  Anybody been there and done that?

If you mean by going into the Setup menu and clicking on Apply and then

then this doesn't work for me. Doing that, and then after choosing a
different Transmit Profile, causes the saved EQ settings to disappear.
When

Re: [Flexradio] DSP Windows?

2006-12-23 Thread Robert McGwier
Ahti:

I do not know how this changed happened or when.   Blackman Harris is 
now the default (svn 795).

Blackman Harris window when used in the FIR design does indeed give the 
best out of band rejection BUT AT A COST.   The Q goes down slightly 
(shape factor slightly worsens).  There is no such thing as  free 
lunch.   The transition band from full response (gain 1)  to first zero 
response  widens to accommodate much better sidelobe rejection in the 
final filter design.  It is my opinion that the Blackman-Harris filter 
design is optimal for our needs.

 I followed the recommendation of Eric and Bob and let the PowerSDR
 build the mdb-file instead of transferring my previous one. I noticed
 that the default DSP window was Hanning instead of Blackman-Harris
 that I have been using earlier. Wouldn't Blackman-Harris give a better
 skirt selectivity? What is the other side of the coin?

Look for things that are interrupt hogs and not CPU hogs.

Like, Virus scanning, Windows Defender, applications that like to use
the hard drive, applications that poll things (e-mail, etc..).

I'd shut down EVERYTHING on the computer other than PowerSDR and work up
from there before messing with processor affinity and process
scheduling.

Re: [Flexradio] SVN 794

2006-12-23 Thread Robert McGwier
The number of taps and the lag are fixed by the block size chosen for 
this.  It is much larger than the non block lms filters,  runs faster, 
and converges quite a bit more quickly (thus the need for lower gain) 
because it adapts the taps in blocks.   This must be balanced against 
the ability to make sufficiently discontinuous changes from one block to 
the next that it introduces serious artifacts.

region, I picked the one that I was most interested in.  For example, 7.400
to 7.450 is assigned to the Fixed / Mobile service in Region 2, but to
broadcasting in regions 1 and 3.  I assigned broadcasting to those
frequencies.  All of the amateur allocations are duplicated from the
database that was provided with Power SDR 1.8.0.

If anyone is interested in this table I'd be happy to send it to you.  Just
let me know.  Importing the table into your database is at your own risk,
but if you know how to do it, it shouldn't be a problem.

[Flexradio] New computer

2006-12-23 Thread Greg
Anyone interested in a new computer?  I feel like building a new system
around the core 2 duo processor but need to sell my present system.

Pentium 4 2.6G Northwood processor
Gigabyte 8KNXP motherboard with com/lpt and firewire/SATA Raid
2Gig Ram
2 western digital 35 Gig Raptor 10K RPM drives set in RAID 0
Floppy Drive
3 optical drives (CD/CDRW/DVD RW)
9 in 1 digital card reader
SB Audigy Sound card
Asus dual head graphics card (use two monitors at once)
CoolerMaster aluminum case

This is a custom build computer with quality parts...NOT a box store
computer.  Runs my SDR1K fine.  I'll leave the ham software installed and
the XP Pro SP2, but you will need to install your own licensed OS.

$500 plus shipping.

Tnx

 I wrote a BandText table that contains all Region 2* frequency assignments
