[Flexradio] right ear, left ear
I already posted this to the 'feature request' but maybe it's already available. this morning, trying to work the East Timor station 7015 listening up 3 I used split and sub rx to listen to the 4W and find the last station he worked. Am I understanding the instructions for the Sub-RX controls correctly? These controls adjust the volume of each vfo's signals, but in my case, where I use headphones plugged into the fa-66, they do NOT separate left and right? PS: I got em for a new band/mode...but twasn't easy. - DOS never says EXCELLENT command or filename... - Bill H. in Chicagoland webcams at http://76.16.160.118:8080/ weather at http://hhweather.webhop.org ___ 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/
Re: [Flexradio] right ear, left ear
Bill, Congrats on the East Timor QSO! There are 4 slider controls to adjust the level/position of the audio from the main RX the Sub-RX. The 2 vertical sliders adjust the level of the audio going to the left right ears, respectively. The 2 horizontal sliders allow you to move the audio for each RX between the left or right ear anywhere in between. I set these controls as follows: 1.) Upper horizontal slider all the way to the left. This puts the main RX audio in my left ear. 2.) Lower horizontal slider all the way to the right. This puts the Sub-RX audio in my right ear. 3.) Left vertical slider all the way to the top. This sets the main RX audio to maximum as determined by the setting of the AF control. 4.) Right vertical slider about mid-way. This sets the Sub-RX audio to about 1/2 the level of the main RX. I do not know if this helps your understanding of the operation of these controls or not. I hope it does. 73, Ray, K9DUR -- next part -- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Re: [Flexradio] Don't order the 5K without this handy accessory
Cecil, To prevent the spread of malicious html code, the mailman software that Flex uses for the e-mail reflector will often block messages that contain too much embedded html. If your e-mail software automatically underlines changes the color of an e-mail address or web address when you type it into the text of a message, your message will contain html code, even though you did not intentionally put it there. In this case, mailman may block your message. By encrypting the address by replacing the dots, slashes, colons, etc. with the words, your e-mail program will not recognize it as an e-mail or web address therefore will not add the html code. It really gets my dander up when I think about all of the stuff we have to do to get around all of the barriers forced upon us to protect us from the spammers, virus-writers, etc. 73, Ray, K9DUR -- next part -- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I discovered the other day running various versions 1.8 and beyond that I get stereo output with main and sub receiver separated ONLY with the BIN button turned off.

Re: [Flexradio] rfi from the sdr
I doesn't sound like the SDR to me it sounds like a ground loop or common mode at the computer. I would first make sure everything is plugged in at the same place, not going through multiple strips each with its own protection Ground everything to the same point. Isolate things that carry RF like feedlines that includes the line between the amp and the rig as well as between the amp and antenna. This is the basic minimum then I would start adding ferrite and stuff like that. 73 W9OY Be a PS3 game guru. Get your game face on with the latest PS3 news and previews at Yahoo!

[Flexradio] Audio Punch
My findings with SDR-X SVN:1209. I work 6 meter weak signal stuff. I want/need, on SSB, audio that is very penatrating but not distorted. I have a Remote Base (SDR) 17 mile from me, thanks to W4MO. I have spent many hours listening to myself, watch the Panadapter on the Remote Base and adjusting my audio for penetrating audio. I have listened on 20 meters for DX'er audio that has the characteristics that I like. What I have found is the Icom ProIII and the Yaesu FT2000 has audio that I like. This is with their compression turned on. I have tried to measure their band width with the SDR Panadapter. I have found they run about 200Hz to 2,800 Hz band width for the effect I like. I use no external processing. My setting are: Transmitter band with 200 to 2,800Hz. Leveler On, Compander on 3, Compressor on 3, Mic Gain 20, TX EQ on, setting of EQ Preamp 3rd mark down from top...top mark being #1, Low 6 down, Mid 4 down, High 1 (top mark...15db) and 160Hz Notch on. I did not think the notch would help running 200 to 2,800 Hz Band Width, but it does. I use no external processing. Using a Marshall MXL 2003 condenser Mic. The lastest change that Bob made (1209) really helped average power out with very low distortion! Thanks Bob. I have tried VE3NEA Voice Shaper software, but much prefer the SDR on board setting above. Watch your Mic Gain setting! Every rig is different, with a multitude of Mics out there.

Re: [Flexradio] Audio Punch
Two years ago before we redid the transmitter from the ground up to produce a larger punch audio chain, and have all of the stages metered, the compander was being overdriven by stages in front of it. There was an ad hoc scaling added by me to keep it from overdriving the stages beyond it, in particular, always overdriving the ALC. Eric and I were working on control problems for the compander in the branch code and Eric did a fantastic analysis of the input and output using the Phil Harman Spread Sheet Analysis Style. I am completely sold on this. I suggest everyone go the hamsdr download pages and get all of Phil's spreadsheets. They are really instructive. Eric took a page, he plotted the input and output and in five seconds, I knew what the problem was. I removed the scale and the compander now produces peaks that are full scale. The average power should be up by at least 2 dB. That is not insignificant when the lows in the voice can easily be slightly below the noise floor. This should improve intelligibility a lot. SO Dave is right. BE CAREFUL and watch your average power. You may need to do adjustment now that this faux pas has been removed from PowerSDR and dttsp v2.0 (all versions). Alex, VE3NEA, is my favorite software author for a fee in all of amateur radio. Every day he produces something brilliant to be emulated. For example, the new Flex5000 with its ability to generate a swept oscillator in front end, will use the Rocky algorithm in a flash (with huge signals) to almost perfectly balance the 5000 (image rejection). This is based on the simple formulae Alex has given us on his Rocky SDR page. There is much to emulate in Alex's VoiceShaper. I am sure we will be doing that. http://www.dxatlas.com/ and http://www.dxatlas.com/rocky/ The receiver will be able to listen to the transmitter and make nearly perfect image rejection and carrier suppression. When asked, it will be able to do backoff and predistortion to help eliminate IMD. The transmitter and predriver can be tuned (its bias) to run everything from Class A through C. Next, with the impulse generator in the 5000, I can estimate the impulse response. I have been doing some experiments where I correlate the perfect impulse response with incoming signals to see what the type i and type ii error probabilities look like on the noise pulse subtraction front. We have to balance this with effectiveness of course. It appears that Leif Åsbrink has the balance just about right in Linrad, so we will be extracted that work as well as his spur elimination work. You may expect to see this show up in PowerSDR and dttsp v2.0 in the coming days. This is pretty exciting. Bob Dave Nancy Ridge wrote: My findings with SDR-X SVN:1209.

Re: [Flexradio] sdr-1000 repair
Doug, I would like apologize for any inconvenience on service to your SDR-1000. Usually, repairs are completed within 1-2 weeks but can sometimes take a little longer, depending on backlog. Let me also state that the information below about the FLEX-5000 taking priority over SDR-1000 repairs is not accurate. There have been no SDR-1000 repair resources being applied to FLEX-5000 production to date. However, SDR-1000 production resources are shared with SDR-1000 repair resources. We received a large number of SDR-1000 orders since Dayton that have produced a bubble in our resource needs for the 1000. This is probably what was being referred to in your conversation. Let me state publicly again, the SDR-1000 will be supported for years to come. You will see software features and improvements coming in the near future that will apply to both radios. We also plan to fully integrate support for the Janus/Ozy sound card system for the SDR-1000 in the near future. We will receive no revenue from that effort but we plan to do it as a service to our customers.

Re: [Flexradio] Audio Punch
Great job. Audio punch is much improved! Farnk, WA3JBT - Original Message - From: Robert McGwier [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Dave Nancy Ridge [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz Sent: Friday, June 01, 2007 2:11 PM Subject: Re: [Flexradio] Audio Punch Two years ago before we redid the transmitter from the ground up to produce a larger punch audio chain, and have all of the stages metered, the compander was being overdriven by stages in front of it. There was an ad hoc scaling added by me to keep it from overdriving the stages beyond it, in particular, always overdriving the ALC. Eric and I were working on control problems for the compander in the branch code and Eric did a fantastic analysis of the input and output using the Phil Harman Spread Sheet Analysis Style. I am completely sold on this. I suggest everyone go the hamsdr download pages and get all of Phil's spreadsheets. They are really instructive. Eric took a page, he plotted the input and output and in five seconds, I knew what the problem was. I removed the scale and the compander now produces peaks that are full scale. The average power should be up by at least 2 dB. That is not insignificant when the lows in the voice can easily be slightly below the noise floor. This should improve intelligibility a lot. SO Dave is right. BE CAREFUL and watch your average power. You may need to do adjustment now that this faux pas has been removed from PowerSDR and dttsp v2.0 (all versions). Alex, VE3NEA, is my favorite software author for a fee in all of amateur radio. Every day he produces something brilliant to be emulated. For example, the new Flex5000 with its ability to generate a swept oscillator in front end, will use the Rocky algorithm in a flash (with huge signals) to almost perfectly balance the 5000 (image rejection). This is based on the simple formulae Alex has given us on his Rocky SDR page. There is much to emulate in Alex's VoiceShaper. I am sure we will be doing that. http://www.dxatlas.com/ and http://www.dxatlas.com/rocky/ The receiver will be able to listen to the transmitter and make nearly perfect image rejection and carrier suppression. When asked, it will be able to do backoff and predistortion to help eliminate IMD. The transmitter and predriver can be tuned (its bias) to run everything from Class A through C. Next, with the impulse generator in the 5000, I can estimate the impulse response. I have been doing some experiments where I correlate the perfect impulse response with incoming signals to see what the type i and type ii error probabilities look like on the noise pulse subtraction front. We have to balance this with effectiveness of course. It appears that Leif Åsbrink has the balance just about right in Linrad, so we will be extracted that work as well as his spur elimination work. You may expect to see this show up in PowerSDR and dttsp v2.0 in the coming days. This is pretty exciting. Bob Dave Nancy Ridge wrote: My findings with SDR-X SVN:1209. I work 6 meter weak signal stuff. I want/need, on SSB, audio that is very penatrating but not distorted. I have a Remote Base (SDR) 17 mile from me, thanks to W4MO. I have spent many hours listening to myself, watch the Panadapter on the Remote Base and adjusting my audio for penetrating audio. I have listened on 20 meters for DX'er audio that has the characteristics that I like. What I have found is the Icom ProIII and the Yaesu FT2000 has audio that I like. This is with their compression turned on. I have tried to measure their band width with the SDR Panadapter. I have found they run about 200Hz to 2,800 Hz band width for the effect I like. I use no external processing. My setting are: Transmitter band with 200 to 2,800Hz. Leveler On, Compander on 3, Compressor on 3, Mic Gain 20, TX EQ on, setting of EQ Preamp 3rd mark down from top...top mark being #1, Low 6 down, Mid 4 down, High 1 (top mark...15db) and 160Hz Notch on. I did not think the notch would help running 200 to 2,800 Hz Band Width, but it does. I use no external processing. Using a Marshall MXL 2003 condenser Mic. The lastest change that Bob made (1209) really helped average power out with very low distortion! Thanks Bob. I have tried VE3NEA Voice Shaper software, but much prefer the SDR on board setting above. Watch your Mic Gain setting! Every rig is different, with a multitude of Mics out there.
