Re: [Flexradio] Parallel Port Recommendation
I went to the local computer store, and purchased a fairly generic PCI parallel port. It works very fine with my SDR-1000. The driver says NetMos PCI enhanced ECP parallel port. I think that most aftermarket parallel port cards would likely be OK, if they are enhanced parallel ports.. The only wierdness is that the parallel port is not the common 378, 3A8, or other addresses. It is CC78. In PowerSDR, you must type the port number into the box, there is not a drop-down with that address. After that, it worked fine. For a laptop, I have used the Quatech SPP-100G PCMCIA enhanced parallel port with my Toshiba Satellite. It also works good, but also has the high port address, not 378, 3A8, or other common address.

Got a nice card, has always worked. 25 USD. One nicety that I got wrong as have some others -- the drop down to put in the port address in the PowerSDR setup can be manually typed if your port address isn't in the list. This is, I believe, in the manual, but it's a little unusual and so perhaps overlooked. "The usual" control panel work will yield the port address for your card. I recommend that you get a cable that is the full 25 pins and well-shielded. Make sure also that it has the pair of screws on each end for the connectors. Loose cables can cause many mysteries, but a solid cable setup eliminates them.

[Flexradio] PA Parasitic
I have developed a strange parasitic that I have determined is from the PA. It is at 5.350 MHz plus or minus 50 Hz. It seems to be voltage sensitive. Today it develops if the power supply is at or below 11 volts but yesterday it would start oscillating at around 13.3 volts. I first noticed this when keying the rig without any drive would generate a ½ watt with a very high SWR through my linear. Further research showed that this parasitic was generated even with the SDR-1000 in the off position but DC still applied to the rig, (PA still getting DC).

Re: [Flexradio] fire/usb
Bob is exactly right. If USB could have done the job, we would have been selling USB sound cards for years. The fact is we looked at every vendor on the planet and could not find a single USB device that had the number of inputs and outputs we needed. We found them in FireWire but not USB. When designing the FLEX-5000, I spoke with the key chip vendors and they informed me that if you want more than one stereo input and one stereo output go FireWire period.

Re: [Flexradio] band pass/low pass
You are correct that the QSD is essentially a band pass tracking filter. It only requires that you filter harmonic frequencies. Saturation is +3 dBm at the antenna connector with the preamp off. That is about S9 +80 dB.

Re: [Flexradio] ANF
Hi Bob, Pete, On start-up I too have found that ANF and NR both start as if Block LMS is DISABLED, irrespective of whether it is selected or not. Only after unchecking and rechecking will Block LMS be activated. This behavior occurs in both the official 1.8.0 release and in the SDR-X SVNs. Neither starting with a clean database, nor doing a complete reinstall changes this. Hope this helps.

Re: [Flexradio] ANF
FYI, the "carrier" that was the subject of the previously mentioned tests was in fact a spur that disappears when Spur Reduction is turned OFF.

Re: [Flexradio] ANF
I ran a few tests with ANF while listening to 60m Ch2 this evening: 1) Playing around with the various settings in the setup panel (Taps, Delay, Gain) had no effect on the carrier present in the passband. Note that Block LMS was ON. 2) On turning Block LMS OFF, the carrier's audio comtribution is pretty well suppressed; the remaining SSB audio is somewhat distorted with Taps, Delay, and Gain at the default settins of 65, 50, 25 respectively. 3) I noticed that when I now toggle Block LMS ON, the Taps and Delay controls are disabled. Toggling Block LMS OFF enables them again. This was not the initial state when I first displayed the setup dialog - all three were enabled with Block LMS enabled. So, it would appear that a) the Block LMS feature might be misbehaving and b) there is a UI issue with initial enable/disable of controls based on the current Block LMS state.

Actually, since the A/D comes after the QSD, there IS essentially a bandpass filter (actually low pass, that's been "aliased" or "translated" up to the HF input frequency).

Re: [Flexradio] ANF
I have this same problem and have been meaning to post about it for some time.I notice that the notch filter works reasonably well when a signal is in the clear, but when it is on top of an SSB signal, the notch filter is not very effective. I've been assuming that this relates to some DSP settings that I need to tweak in order to get this working better. It would be a real service if someone who is having good luck with their notch filter would post the settings that they are using.

[Flexradio] ANF
I have a Firebox and a FA66...and have tried all sample rates and buffer settings. I have yet to get the ANF to work as well as my ICOMs. It doesn't even work as well as the Kenwood2000...which isn't great. IMO...a great auto notch can't be detected when engaged. It doesn't make the signals "watery" are cut the highs etc. It shouldn't "color" the voices/signals in any way. The NR is as good as my 7000's which have a great NR... but I also really need a Auto Notch especially on Net nites...and find myself switching from the Flex. It seems to work better with BlockLMS unchecked ...but is watery Any suggestions? tnx steve kw5tx ___ 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 Knowledge Base: http://kb.flex-radio.com/ FlexRadio Homepage: http://www.flex-radio.com/

OK, OK! I seem to have started this one! Gerald's comment "...couldn't meet the specs..." was the answer to my question. OK, I am a bit surprised, but that info will cause me to look a lot deeper before I try to use USB to get the data into the PC. The wheel has been invented. I am a confirmed, admitted plagiarist!

Re: [Flexradio] ANF
This problem is apparently specific to individual station settings. I will discuss with Eric. I'm sure a solution will be forthcoming. John P. Basilotto W5GI Marketing and Product Manager FlexRadio Systems 512-535-5266 -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of John Hansen Sent: Tuesday, April 17, 2007 9:44 AM Cc: Flexradio Subject: Re: [Flexradio] ANF I have this same problem and have been meaning to post about it for some time.I notice that the notch filter works reasonably well when a signal is in the clear, but when it is on top of an SSB signal, the notch filter is not very effective. I've been assuming that this relates to some DSP settings that I need to tweak in order to get this working better. It would be a real service if someone who is having good luck with their notch filter would post the settings that they are using.

Re: [Flexradio] ANF
I stand corrected. :-( I did the initial testing and the ANF outperformed all other radios I owned, and I owned them all. I just checked it again and you are right. Something has changed.

USB >could support these multiple channel devices doing isochronous >communications and guarantee in order and on time delivery of the >packets, there would be professional audio cards everywhere since, as >you have stated, USB 2.0 is ubiquitous. > OK... but that issue -- whether USB 2.0 is capable of handling professional audio or video requirements -- is not the point with which I took issue. It is, in fact, an entirely different question. The only point with which I took issue was Gerald's statement that USB wasn't designed to handle streaming audio and video. It clearly is. Now, that video might be from web cams, and that audio might be output to cheap "multimedia" speakers that casual users hook up to their computers. But USB was in fact designed for streaming, not just for keyboards and mice. That's the purpose of bandwidth reservation -- that's the purpose of isochronous transfers. My work in designing and implementing (the firmware and driver for) a *very* simple USB device that supports isochronous transfers shows that USB can do quite a nice job of streaming media *within its specified throughput range* I'm perfectly willing to grant that 1394 is a better choice given the 5K's throughput requirements. Good job Flex. Now, you also mentioned "in order and on time delivery" -- I am not a USB protocol expert, but I am not aware of *any* mechanism for delivering USB data for OUT of order. In addition, if "on time" is defined as "with worst-case latency at the bus bounded by pre-specified values" then I'd say that USB iso transfers also meet the definition of "on time". Finally, whether something is used in the pro audio community is really a function of lots of things... Sometimes the least of which is capability. When's the last time you saw anybody OUTSIDE the pro audio community record something to DAT tape? Or (analog) reel-to-reel tape for that matter. Having said that, note that there ARE pro audio devices with USB interfaces (not necessarily for super high throughput devices... but I'm aware of devices from both Mackie and Alesis, for example, that have USB interfaces... and there are numerous instrument interfaces that connect via USB). Again, this is all a tangent to what I referred to in my original note as a "nit" -- As I said in my original note, Gerald's reply that said "look at USB, but it couldn't meet the specs" sounds like one of the best engineering reason I could think of to rule-out a particular technology. de Peter K1PGV ___ 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 Knowledge Base: http://kb.flex-radio.com/ FlexRadio Homepage: http://www.flex-radio.com/
