[Flexradio] Calibration of 1 watt unit
I am trying to calibrate the receiver of my 1 watt unit, using the Elecraft sig generator. But I get a notice on the screen saying the signal is less than 30db etc. the sig gen is at 50microvolts. Now on my 100 watt unit the calibration works perfectly and I can see the calibration signal. Why is the 1 watt unit different. I have had my suspicions that it is deaf, compared to my other receivers. What do I need to do to make it hear perfectly again A hearing aid??? By the way this is with the preamp on high, whereas on the 100watt unit it is on low. Comments please Ross ZL1WN -- next part -- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Re: [Flexradio] Calibration of 1 watt unit
Ross, What do you see on the spectrumdisplay and the Smeter when the sig generator is connected (on both sets, to compare)? (try to use the same soundcard) noisefloor, signal level? groeten Peter petervn(a)hetnet.nl mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ; pa0pvn(a)hetnet.nl mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ; pa0pvn(a)gmail.com ; pa0pvn(a)amsat.org .

I'm not even using the built in EQ and got some very good audio reports on AM just yesterday. The key is the transmit bandwidth you use. John (W5GI); I do think in addition to the 10 band EQ, it would be very helpful to have an audio limiter built in for AM use. Is that possible? Seems that since the code is there to measure mic level already, that a soft limiter could be coded with a user definable threshold in dB units... 73 Brian / w5ami On 1/29/07, Jeff Anderson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Ed, I use a Heil Pro40 and run it directly into the SDR.

DSP theory is also quite complex. I can do light VBA programming and some of the best code I've written was written by someone else. Perhaps as some of the programming tools become easier to use and the abundance of coding examples become available more of us will be able to contribute to the ever evolving front end of this fantastic radio.

The most important feature is the ability to set filter width, which is the primary factor is sounding like a commercial station. External audio gear like the W2IHY boxes and other products typically used by serious audiophiles will enhance the audio quality of any radio including the SDR1K. I have a professional software defined audio system, which is overkill for amateur applications but it's certainly fun to play with. We are planning to add a 10 band EQ to the PowerSDR but beyond that there are no plans to add additional audio applications.

Re: [Flexradio] Outboard audio equipment
Edwin, I use the EQplus from W2IHY as pre-processing before the FA-66. I don't need to, but since I like using my condenser mic on my back up rig (756 ProII), I set the EQplus so that the Pro II sounds good and then back down the gain on the FA-66. The big thing to watch is not to over drive the compression. I also LOVE the downward expander for reducing shack noise. It works better than a noise gate. Setting up the EQplus this way, I can switch between the three rigs with a twist of a knob. It is also convenient because PTT is controlled by the EQplus, so I have only one foot peddle for all the HF rigs. -Tim W4TME - -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Edwin Marzan Sent: Monday, January 29, 2007 3:15 PM To: flexradio@flex-radio.biz Subject: [Flexradio] Outboard audio equipment Hardware defined versus software defined.

I was thinking of purchasing the eight band eq from W2IHY. Is there something that this product delivers that cannot be delivered via software if not now perhaps in the near future? I noticed a few ads on QTH.com stating they are selling their eq because they are switching to the Flex. Do these folks know something that I don't? Thanks again...

Re: [Flexradio] Contesting question
Larry, You are correct, any transceiver has problems when being used simultaneously in close proximity to another. A few years ago our club had a building project where we constructed several filters for use at Field Day. I think we were running 8A (100W) that year with all operating stations inside the same picnic shelter. The real problem was the antennas all being crowded into the same small area. The filters were worth their weight in gold. CW SSB stations on the same band would still get into each other, but all cross-band interference was virtually eliminated. I also used the SDR connected to N1MM logger and enjoy that setup very much. I did buy the Griffin knob with my SDR but almost never use it. Normally, I either tune by clicking on the panadapter display or the new waterfall display on PowerSDr, or by clicking on the band map in N1MM Logger. Glad to work you while you were in Belize last fall. We spent a week at V31MD's place last September had a ball. 73, Ray, K9DUR V31DU ___ 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] Contesting question
Larry, I should have added in my previous post: While the SDR-1000 will experience some overload interference from nearby transmitters, its excellent hardware design (read wide dynamic range) makes it less susceptible than many other hardware boxes on the market. 73, Ray, K9DUR ___ 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/

We originally had a 31-band (and a 15-band) option for the EQ. But it didn't work very well. We scaled it back in favor of having a simpler version that performed at a level we were satisfied with. One bird in the hand is worth two in the bush kind of thing... I'm sure we'll eventually have more than 3 bands, but I doubt we'll ever get back to 31 as that was overkill in 99% of the cases with our radio/software.

Re: [Flexradio] Outboard audio equipment
Perhaps a parametric eq option can be considered? I've used a software based parametric eq in a video editing program and the amount of control was absolutely amazing. It would work similar to the 3 band eq that currently exists except that instead of moving sliders up and down one would click on the horizontal green line to form a node and then be able to drag that node up or down. The bandwith of the nodes would be user configurable by creating more nodes. In effect you would be in total control of your eq waveform in a way that is not possible using conventional sliders This would blow away just about any eq out there, in my view.

These were these frequencies at one time. The 10 band which will be developed will conform to International standards. It has already been designed and will most likely appear sometime this year.

Re: [Flexradio] Outboard audio equipment
You are correct; however, a parametric EQ is difficult to setup. This is one of the reason's that Yaesu is getting so many audio complains. When setup properly a parametric is the way to go.

Re: [Flexradio] Outboard audio equipment
I agree 100% John!! After years in pro audio there is nothing like a graphic EQ for voice work. Parametric is good for zeroing on on a very specific problem are like feedback control where a single tone can be found and eliminated without noticeably affecting the mix. If you have a good announcing mike like a a Shure SM-7, EV re-27, or PR-40, the 3 band will more than suffice. Parametric will provide many ways to sound bad! - Original Message - From: John P Basilotto W5GI To: 'Edwin Marzan' ; flexradio@flex-radio.biz Sent: Friday, February 02, 2007 5:03 PM Subject: Re: [Flexradio] Outboard audio equipment You are correct; however, a parametric EQ is difficult to setup.

Yes the frequency was set to 7040. The 100 watt unit is now running with an Ediroll, the 1 watt with a Presonus firebox. The Firebox was originally on the 100watt unit where it worked perfectly, so I have no reason to suppose that is the problem. Checking now on a local 144.252 beacon, (just swapping the input coax from one rig to the other.) Both preamps set at high. The 100watt unit shows the beacon at 55db above the noise floor, the 1 watt unit 30db. I would have expected both to be similar, as nothing else has been altered, same 2m array, pointing in the same direction, same feed from the transverter etc. Comments please Regards to all Ross ZL1WN -- next part -- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Re: [Flexradio] Outboard audio equipment
Thank you, Eric and John, I'm patiently waiting for the better 10-band EQ, but don't hurry. The highest priority is the MODULAR PowerSDR. Just wanted to say that the 15-band version was pretty good a couple of years ago. Also I want to remind why I like a multiband EQ, not because of the nice sounding Hi-Fi voice, but the punch through DX pile-ups: http://kotisivu.dnainternet.net/ahti/sdr-1000/speechproc.pdf http://kotisivu.dnainternet.net/ahti/sdr-1000/filtclip.pdf 73, Ahti OH2RZ On 02/02/07, Eric Wachsmann [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: We originally had a 31-band (and a 15-band) option for the EQ.

[Flexradio] couple of potential owner questions
Forgive me for 'thinking' in a black box mode. I own a FT1000mp, so I need to differentiate from the black box type rig.

USB ON COMPUTER connects to a parallel type interface on SDR radio Y/N? 2. On page 2 of manual, It says the ouput is 40W continuous carrier. I operate a lot of rtty and psk, Is the software programmable/automatice to reduce the power when operating in these mode. I prefer and presently use ALC to control my rig and my Yaesu VL1000 transistorized amplifier. 3.

I did this and it works fine, and better than tying up a USB port. It's probably cheaper to boot (good cards go for about 25 dollars just about anywhere). Just don't go too cheap -- find one that is good for printers and nonprinters. And, make sure your printer cable has all 25 lines in it, too. A few econo cards cheat the standard a bit -- you don't want that. Go into any screwdriver shop and ask for a parallel card that will run anything, not just printers. Note that you may have to discover what the printer port identity is. If it isn't in the drop down list in the SDR's setup, you can manually fill in the correct value. If you don't do the correct value, you'll basically get nothing heard from the receiver when you turn on the console. Get past these little details, though, and you have a superior solution. ... 2.

Re: [Flexradio] couple of potential owner questions
You need some kind of parallel port either added as a card or use the Flex usb-parallel adapter. I have both and the Flex adapter works flawlessly. I don't bother with the serial CW connection, I use an external keyer and use the key jack on the back of the radio. It works fine. I tried the serial method and didn't see any advantage over the jack on the back. No ALC between radio and amp, but I haven't been able to detect any overshoot either from the SDR 73 W9OY Yahoo!

Re: [Flexradio] Outboard audio equipment
I will be more than happy with a 10 band eq. It can be argued that our radios can be difficult to set up but once we've learned the ins and outs of our radios they perform extremely well and in most cases superior to what is out there. Such would be the case with a parametric eq. With absolutely no experience using one I was able to solve an annoying problem in the audio of a soundtrack of a DVD that I was authoring in about 10 minutes. I believe this level of control if implemented intuitively would be a trememdous asset to flex users. So perhaps not now but later down the pike!!

I've used a software based parametric eq in a video editing program and the amount of control was absolutely amazing. It would work similar to the 3 band eq that currently exists except that instead of moving sliders up and down one would click on the horizontal green line to form a node and then be able to drag that node up or down. The bandwith of the nodes would be user configurable by creating more nodes.

[Flexradio] Mic input to FA-66 question
Looking down the road a bit, to when I actually have to do this... :-) I have a couple questions about the FA-66 setup. 1) Can I connect a Heil mic that uses a simple single-ended unbalanced output (like the ProSet) directly to the FA-66 input port? And if so, do I connect the single-ended output to a TRS plug with the tip and ring tied together, or to just the tip? 2) In Step 5 (Calibrate Mic Input), it says, It will probably be necessary to adjust the MIC control on the PowerSDR front panel in combination with the SENS control on the FA-66 front panel to attain 0dB peaks. This statement seems a bit cryptic. How do the two adjustments interact? Why is peaks in italics?
