[Flexradio] Buffer Settings
ZS6AVM Wrote: Best wishes to ya'll for 2007 I had a Flex to Flex contact with a station in Italy, and he was surprised when I told him that I too was on an SDR-1000 Anyhow, I'm still a little confused with regards how the buffer sizes affect the quality of the audio (if it actually does). Apart from more latency with higher buffer settings, and high CPU usage with lower buffer sizes, which is as quoted in the User Manual. Which kinda indicates that, with a higher buffer setting the audio should be smoother, if that is the case, wot can one expect to happen to the audio with a lower buffer size ? Anyone got some answers fro me I have run my SDR / Delta 44 at 256, 512, and at 1024 buffers, and not sure if I can here any difference, apart from the latency issue So, wot I really want to know is, for SSB, wot buffer size will yield the best quality audio ???

Re: [Flexradio] Desensing of signal by AGC due to carrier?
Dale, I also submitted a tuneable notch filter to the enhancement list a few months ago. The way I envision it working is much the same way it works in MixW, Right click on an unwanted signal. A drop down box has as a selection: ADD NOTCH FILTER. Click on this. You can add other notch filters at other frequencies too. They are pretty narrow; I add two for a Pactor II signal or a RTTY signal. These notch filters are very effective in MixW for the digital modes but don't do anything for you on SSB. You might also get some relief by turning ACG off and reducing the RF gain control. If the front end is overloading, try turning the preamp off. 73, Chas W1CG.

Re: [Flexradio] Desensing of signal by AGC due to carrier?
Dale, I have no issue with the ANF - it works superb. And I agree that an extension with manually tunable NFs would also have merrit. I'm just wondering if it is at all possible to have the ANF work before the AGC (Forgive me if I'm totally off base here as I have no idea what the current processing order is or even if it would make sense). That way, the AGC would work on the signal after the carrier has been filtered out and (most likely) leave the SSB signal alone. I understand that I can manually correct for it by turning AGC off and adjusting RF/AF, but that's several controls to manipulate, which all would need to be readjusted again when the carrier itself disappears. Just wondering if it could be avoided in the first place. 73 de Joe - AB1DO - Original Message - From: "Dale Boresz" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Joe - AB1DO" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: Sent: Sunday, January 07, 2007 22:46 Subject: Re: [Flexradio] Desensing of signal by AGC due to carrier? > Joe, I think the ANF only operates in the audio path after the AGC, so it > doesn't actually eliminate the carrier from within the passband of the > filter, although it does remove it from the audio output of the radio. > > However, a tunable, adjustable-width notch filter would solve this.

At 01:15 PM 1/8/2007, philip gentile wrote: >the on/off switches don't work > >mine seems to operate. Well, mine toggles between two mechanical positions also. But read the manual: On this radio, the ON/OFF operation is more complicated. The switch on the case DOES NOT power off the radio. I (used to) use one big station 13.8V supply and leave it constantly ON. Now I have to add another separate switched supply for the SDR-1000. With my new SDR1k-dedicated power supply, I _guess_ the case power switch can just be left ON all the time and all switching done on the mains to the external 13.8V power supply. Is it safe to do this, Flex? Excerpts from the current manual: Power-Up Procedure The SDR-1000 is unique in that the software does not have a way to cut the 13.8V power to the hardware unit. For this reason, we recommend the following procedure to ensure that the radio starts in a stable, safe state on Power Up: Power-Down Procedure The power-down sequence is almost the reverse of the power-up procedure. Note: It is necessary to cut the power at the supply in order to completely power down the radio and ensure the amplifier circuitry is not in a bias state.

Re: [Flexradio] Transmit euqalizer + Gate causes lock-up in SVN821
Joe, Using the official latest realease 1.8.0, when I use the equalizer and the noise gate I notice that CPU cycles shoot up and PowerSDR slows down dramatically. The ptt is sluggish in both directions. Turn off the noise gate and the response is back to its normal zippy self. I'm using an HP Media Center PC with 3.0Gig Pentium Processor, a gig of RAM and a Delta 44 Sound Card. Our symptoms are not exactly the same but there is definitely something going on that puts a drain on our systems when the equalizer and noise gate are used together.

Re: [Flexradio] Sub-receiver and other mods in SVN819 +
I'm not aware that we changed anything related to the limits of the Sub RX. Please make sure that you are still using the same sampling rate as this will affect the range of the Sub RX. Also, double check that you are using the receivers in the same order as the 11kHz IF can cause the limits to be within range one way and not the other (i.e. freq 1 on VFO A works with freq 2 on VFO B, but freq 1 on VFO B will NOT work with freq 2 on VFO A).

Re: [Flexradio] Sub RX toggle Key and Sub RX Volume
There are two vertical sliders in the Sub RX section. The one on the left controls the Main RX volume while the one on the right controls the Sub RX volume. Note that these are not active unless the Sub RX is active. When it is active, the controls combine with the overall AF control (i.e. if you set the Main RX to mid and the Sub RX to mid and the AF to the mid point, you would get 25% (0.5*0.5) of the max audio output. Conceptually, the AF is an overall gain control in all cases. The other two controls are to enable you to manipulate the main/Sub RX audio independently when Sub RX is active.

Re: [Flexradio] Transmit euqalizer + Gate causes lock-up in SVN821
Edwin, Nice to know I'm not alone. (Others have also contacted me privately with the same issue). Interesting is also that we are both using 3GHz Pentium Processors with 1GB of RAM and a Delta 44. Don't know if that is relevant, just an observation. In the mean time I have done some more experimenting. First I started with a clean database, just to make sure I had the default settings. I then adjusted the Gate setting such that enviromental noise was blocked (around -23 here). As I was doing so, I immediately noticed that the moment the Gate is closed (blocks), CPU% increases. Without EQ on, the increase is small however, only some 5-10%. The problem only occurs when both Gate and EQ are on and the Gate is closed (blocking environmental noise). The CPU% then jumps to 70-80%. Speaking in the mic, the Gate opens after a delay at best, but usually not at all. Sometimes, on the first over, everything will work OK, but on subsequent overs there is either a long delay or no audio transmission whatsoever. All information before the Gate opens is lost. Once (and if) the Gate is open due to audio in the mic, CPU% immediately drops to the usual 20% or so on transmission. The closed Gate (in conjunction with the EQ) seems to cause the problem. The problem occurs in both 1.8.0 and 1.9.0SVN821. Adjusting the audio and especially the DSP buffers makes a difference. Lowering the DSP buffer from 4096 to 1024 cuts the first syllable as opposed to no audio getting through at all (monitoring with a secind receiver). Without EQ on, the Gate will open immediately no matter what the buffer settings and all of the audio gets through to to the second receiver. My process priority is High. Adjusting this down makes no difference (as I would expect). I have not tried the Real Time setting yet. Hope this helps resolve the issue, or helps someone point out what I need to adjust to make Gate and EQ work together. 73 de Joe - AB1DO - Original Message - From: "Edwin Marzan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; Sent: Monday, January 08, 2007 13:58 Subject: Re: [Flexradio] Transmit euqalizer + Gate causes lock-up in SVN821 > Joe, > > Using the official latest realease 1.8.0, when I use the equalizer and the > noise gate I notice that CPU cycles shoot up and PowerSDR slows down > dramatically.

Re: [Flexradio] Transmit euqalizer + Gate causes lock-up in SVN821
Edwin, Nice to know I'm not alone. Others have contacted me privately with the same issue also. In the mean time I have done some further experimenting. I have checked both 1.8.0 and 1.9.0SVN821 - there is no difference. Also I have started with a clean database, just in case, again no difference. It is very clear that the issue occurs only when both Gate and Transmit EQ (did not check RX EQ) are enabled. In that case, when starting the transmission with a closed Gate, the CPU% shoots up to 80-90%. If and when the Gate opens, CPU% immediately drops to the usual 20% or so on voice transmission. Sometimes the Gate will open after a delay, other times not at all (see below). All information prior to the Gate opening is lost (monitoring with a second receiver). A higher audio buffer and especially a lower DSP buffer will make a difference: with audio buffer=512 and DSP buffer=4096 the Gate will not open on transmission. With audio buffer=2048 and DSP buffer=1024, the Gate will open after a delay, cutting off the first syllable at best. Changing the sound card sampling rate makes no difference. Lowering the system priority from High (my usual setting) makes no difference, it doesn't get worse.

[Flexradio] No Transmit
I have discovered today that there are some frequencies throughout the bands that the radio will not transmit on. 1862 khz, 1862.057, 1861.990, 1861.969, etc. I can find these frequencies by changing the vfo while the rig is tranmitting. I can hear a relay click inside the rig when it gets to these frequencies and then the rig will not tranmit. Go up or down 1hz and the rig will once agn transmit. Any ideas?

First; I'll post this here because I see nothing happening in the "Feature request" section on the web. All cases is "Open" since beginning og august. Why is that? To the subject...: It could be an idea to make the squelch be operating after the ANF if possible. I often monitor SSB frequencies with the squelch set. Then a carrier or some cw opens the squelch. If I use the ANF, the tone disapears, but the squelch remains open and the noise comes through. I'll think that if the ANF took care of the beep tone in front of the squelch it would not open. (I hope you understand) Thank you. - 73 LA4WAA - Stig ___ 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 __ NOD32 1912 (20061209) Information __ This message was checked by NOD32 antivirus system. http://www.eset.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/ FlexRadio Knowledge Base: http://kb.flex-radio.com/

Re: [Flexradio] Transmit euqalizer + Gate causes lock-up in SVN821The problem only occurs when both Gate and EQ are on and the Gate is closed
"The problem only occurs when both Gate and EQ are on and the Gate is closed (blocking environmental noise). The CPU% then jumps to 70-80%. Speaking in the mic, the Gate opens after a delay at best, but usually not at all. Sometimes, on the first over, everything will work OK, but on subsequent overs there is either a long delay or no audio transmission whatsoever. All information before the Gate opens is lost. Once (and if) the Gate is open due to audio in the mic, CPU% immediately drops to the usual 20% or so on transmission. The closed Gate (in conjunction with the EQ) seems to cause the problem." I run my SDR1000 in SSB mode with the TX Equalizer active and the Noise Gate active along with the 160Hz notch. I cannot duplicate your difficulty here. I checked my CPU usage and the maximum I saw was 10% and it very quickly settled back to its more normal range of 3 - 5%. I am using a dual core AMD 6800 + 1.2Ghz machine. Anything but a power house these days. The VOX triggers well, and SSB operation is "normal". Iam running version 1.9.0 and I believe the latest SVN. The amount of CPU usage you report is much hihger than I experience. While doing the test I had Outlook, SDR1000 console, CWGet, and ACLOG 3.0 running. I am running Windows XP Service pack 2 and have made no optimization changes, it is pure virgin XP. 73 Jim, W4ATK ___ 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 Knowledge Base: http://kb.flex-radio.com/

Re: [Flexradio] No Transmit
I think I'm getting somewhere now. The DDS setting in Setup/General/Hardware Config is affecting the problem. If I auto calibrate to WWV it sets to 468 and 3885 starts to work. It was previously set to "0" after the install. It was set to 407 when all the other freqs weren't working. I'm afraid to touch it now! I thought that setting just calibrated the frequency accuracy of the radio. - Original Message - From: Tim Ellison To: Frank Mayer ; Ray Andrews ; FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz Sent: Monday, January 08, 2007 7:40 PM Subject: RE: [Flexradio] No Transmit Please enter the TX profiles and memories one at a time to see what parameter or combination of parameters is affecting the TX. -Tim W4TME -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Frank Mayer Sent: Monday, January 08, 2007 7:10 PM To: Ray Andrews; FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz Subject: Re: [Flexradio] No Transmit I just did and it initially transmitted on those frequencies.

[Flexradio] Proset-5, Heil
It will plug into and run the SDR. Use a 1/8-1/4 converter for the Mic and 2x 1/4 mono to 1/4 stereo for the headphones. The cost is about $8.00 at a music store. Using the HM-5 cartridge, the SDR transmit settings are: High=3600, Low=100. EQ: Preamp=+6, Low=+6, Mid=0, High=+12. Signal reports are superb! -- next part -- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

[Flexradio] Recording of W9AD on his Flex
I have a growing collection of audio clips that I eventually intend to place in an audio archives website for ham radio. In particular AM stations such as Dave. As everyone can hear, Dave has wonderful audio using his Flex SDR on AM. I'm proud to see more and more Flexers getting their SDR on AM, and just in recent months! Many don't realize just how great the audio is using the Flex on AM, not to mention how well the Flex receives AM to full fidelity. I made this short clip of Dave this evening using my Flex for the recording. Dave - W9AD 8khz filter No pre or post processing other than converting to MP3 Signal was not as strong as usual, however, still Q5 http://w5ami.net/w9ad_1-8-2007_9_49_48_PM.mp3 73 Brian / W5AMI -- Suburbia is where the developer bulldozes out the trees, then names the streets after them. - Bill Vaughan ___ 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 Knowledge Base: http://kb.flex-radio.com/

It would stay on the frequency that the notch was deposited on. The scroll wheel could be used, if need be, to widen it up. The original listing had pictures which may or may not still show up if we could find the thread, which (I think) would have appeared on the original Flex web site.

Re: [Flexradio] No Transmit
Frank, Is there any way to look at your .mbd with Microsoft Access? If the frequency in the Band Text Table has false in the transmit table, the SDR will not transmit on that frequency. 73, Chas, W1CG At 07:09 PM 1/8/2007, Frank Mayer wrote: >I just did and it initially transmitted on those frequencies.

[Flexradio] Received Audio & KVM Switches
I have my Flex Radio really sounding good, especially on the transmit side. As for receive, I am using a pair of Harmon Kardon powered speakers that leave a lot to be desired. I would be interested to know which speakers are available that will reproduce the wonderful audio that I know is coming out of the radio. BTW, I just installed a KVM switch to enable me to run 2 computers with only one keyboard, monitor and mouse. I bought a bunch of them on an eBay auction so if anyone is interested in one, I am selling them at $15 each plus shipping. They do not require a power supply as they are powered thru the PS/2 connections. They are made by Avocent and they do not come with cables. You would need 4 PS/2 male to male cables and 2 VGA (monitor) male to male cables. They allow you to switch between computers with either a push of a switch or a key sequence. Anyone interested, please contact me off line.
