Re: [Flexradio] audio punch
John, Gerald and All, John is right about the commercial broadcast like frequency response of the SDR-1000 transmitter. Instead of John's statement about the traditional amateur radios, I would like to say that in their frequency response basses are already somewhat attenuated, which means that the higher frequencies are pre-emphasized up to a certain corner frequency, beyond which the frequency response goes down rapidly. That will add the audio punch, which I like. I sincerely believe that this is also the explanation what Stig was asking for. Another additional property of the SDR-1000 decreasing the punch, is obviously the accurate feed forward control of the peak power that prevents transmitting signal going to the clipping level. As you know, software defined radios can be put to different tasks. To me it is mostly a measurement instrument like a spectrum analyzer and an excellen receiver - especially having now the Janus/Ozy connected to the radio. Sometimes I would like to use it also as an efficient ham band transmitter, but according to my (not so humble) opinion Flex has so far almost completely ignored the needs of serious DX hunters by delaying the introduction of a multichannel equalizer combined to a feed forward compressor that was already started almost four years ago by the initiation of Phil Harman. I think, it is a shame, if Flex-5000 will be entered to the marketplace without at least a promise of a quick update to this optional feature. My very best regards to all and especially to Gerald, Ahti OH2RZ On 04/06/07, John P Basilotto W5GI [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: It simply is in the adjustments. Traditional amateur radios have pre-emphasis in the audio, i.e there is a certain amount of bass already there. The SDR1K is flat as a pancake. When you add bass, either externally or with the built-in EQ, you are simply adding pre-emphasis. The SDR1k was designed to be flat just like a commercial broadcast transmitter. John P.

The basses convey very little speach information, but eat up the limited power of your transmitter. Unless you want to broadcast a Hi-Fi music program on ham bands use a good quality multi-channel equalizer to attenuate the lower frequencies of your modulation. And if you want real information carrying audio punch, you may use a PROPERLY MADE compressor or even RF clipper. However, never use compressors and/or clippers, if the the basses are not attenuated. Almost four years' time already I have tried to convince our Flex software wizards and gurus to implement an integrated audio processor that would enhance the speech signal intelligibility in noise at least as well as explained in the following ancient articles. Sorry for this repeated use of the bandwidth, but please, please, read carefully and understand these: http://kotisivu.dnainternet.net/ahti/sdr-1000/filtclip.pdf http://kotisivu.dnainternet.net/ahti/sdr-1000/speechproc.pdf My understanding is that these functions can be implemented by the DSP means much more elegantly than 30 years ago by the hardware means.

Re: [Flexradio] anybody using a sdr with Writelog
My radio computer is down at the moment, so can't do screen shots. But the setup is really easy. In the vCom control panel I have only the top row checked in the center box. On the left I have COM3, and on the right COM13. After setting that click UPDATE DRIVER at the bottom. That will open a DOS box and activate your config. Then you can close the vCom control panel.

Re: [Flexradio] What is audio punch?
here is my 2 cents...maybe slightly off topic Being an Ex radio announcer and musician (guitar and bass) and sound technician...I was thrown off years ago by the term punch from the old timers in amateur radio. Punch in sound reinforcement means mid bass Punch...like a kick drum thru 15 and 18 inch speakers. IN HAM Radio? it means _Punch thru the noise floor. _I love ESSB. It reminds me of my radio days when the compressors and optimods would Suck the words right out of your mouth. Bigger then Life. It was a main reason for buying the Flex.

And going back and forth to Icom Pro's and and a 870 and others and listening with headphones on receivers to the flex and viceversa...

I run an AL80B that puts out about 1000 watts. I do not have the exact figures but this is what I have found to be true. If you are running from 3300 - 0 hz and you have a Microphone that goes LOW...like a Heil Goldline etc etc ...80% of your power is being used to transmit the low frequencies below 250 cycles. Im guessing here but its roughly 70 to 90% per application depending on your setup. Think about it? add in feedline lossand I wasn't Getting out... I wanted to communicate...but I wasn't getting out ...with 1000 watts. AND I like working the low bands and...its the BOTTOM OF THE SOLAR CYCLE...lol Being the Rocket Scientist that I am and it doesnt take me long to look at a horsehoeI have now gone to a true balanced system with a Palstar BT1500 and 450ohm feed.

[Flexradio] Heil ProSet with the SDR-1000 and Delta-44
I've used the Heil ProSet/C5 with the SDR-1000 and Delta-44 for over 6 months and when correctly adjusted have had absolutely praise reviews from all. The most important setting is the EQ provided within the PowerSDR software, although all other settings listed below enhance the signal. I plug the headset directly into the Delta breakout box just to reduce the number of wires used. It doesn't really matter but using the panel plug on the SDR requires wiring a Yaesu plug and still attaching a stereo patch cable from the back of the SDR to the breakout box. I use no external hardware but position the boom mic about an inch away from my mouth and just below my lips. The mic is not as room noise resistant as I would like so because of my soft voice, noisy computer and AL82 amp, I always use the Noise Gate. Here are my settings yours may need to differ: Mic Boost=NOT checked (not needed) Latency=not checked Mic Gain=55, Noise Gate= -35 (this depends on your room noise) (Heil C5 Headset, other mics may differ) NOTE: When using these settings, be sure to use the Leveler or EQ on the TX EQ monitor or you may over-drive the transmitter. To use Leveler and ALC the NOISE GATE MUST BE ENABLED (Feedback Will occur).

Re: [Flexradio] What is audio punch?
Up here I listen to AMers on the DX-60 net (3.88). It's not unusual to hear good audio on rigs and even some broadcast transmitters that have been converted to 75 meters. Every so often someone comes on with full-range audio that catches my attention because it sounds as if he's in the shack with me. Guess what rig they're running? Yep, an SDR-1000. I love listening to Hi-Fi AM and SSB. My Delta 44 goes into a Marantz with a pair of huge speaker systems. Sounds great. Of course, I can always narrow the filter when the band gets crowded.

[Flexradio] Gearing up for the Flex 5000
Hello, This is the second email I am trying to send. I am not sure if it is getting to the group. If this works, I would like to know what is a good choice of speakers to purchase for the up coming 5000? Also in the last email I had asked if anyone knows of a way to stretch the PowerSDR screen to fit a 22 inch monitor? I did not get any replies, so I thought maybe my emails are not getting out?? Thank you.

Re: [Flexradio] Gearing up for the Flex 5000
There is an article in the KB on speakers. It is applicable to the FLEX-5000. http://kb.flex-radio.com/article.aspx?id=10244 No. PowerSDR is a fixed width program. To make it fill the screen, lower your screen resolution. -Tim -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ken Sent: Wednesday, June 06, 2007 12:08 AM To: FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz Subject: [Flexradio] Gearing up for the Flex 5000 Hello, This is the second email I am trying to send.
