[Flexradio] Question about powered speakers & SDR1000
Hi All I read in the knowledge base re the use of quality powered speakers. I am currently setting up my SDR1000 and do not have quality powered speakers ;) the models in the knowledge base I have been unable to source here in VK through usual sources, so I am hoping someone can recommend other currently available models of powered speakers that they have successfully used that are not prone to RFI. My SDR box currently is using the D44 sound card so I am looking forward to hearing the difference with a real speaker system connected. Any suggestions will be greatly received.

[Flexradio] I was able to complete Freq. Calibration
yesterday I kept getting 'out of valid range' errors. Today 10mHz WWV was louder. The calibration finished and agreed with my manual calibration.

Re: [Flexradio] Question about powered speakers & SDR1000
Quality speakers. I'm not that much of a audio purist But I found that the sound bar that attaches to Dell monitors, really sounds quite good and even my kw station shows no rfi in them. I have two, each of my monitors. one is wall wart powered, the other gets its 12v from the monitor. So the point is...it seems the Dell speaker products are a reasonable (read: inexpensive) choice and available in mass quantities on eBay.

Re: [Flexradio] Question about powered speakers & SDR1000
HI Paul, The following speakers are the best I have ever run into for use with the SDR-1000. They are not susceptible to RFI like most other speakers for the computer that use an external wall-wart power supply. These use a built in 120V 50-60Hz power supply. http://www.alteclansing.com/product_details.asp?pID=VS2220 Regards, Wally M0ZAZ / WA4ZAZ.

Re: [Flexradio] Question about powered speakers & SDR1000
Paul, I'd like to second Wally's comments. I've used these for about a year and have been exceptionally pleased with both the sound quality (head and shoulders above the "stock" Harmon-Cardin speakers that came with the computer) as well as RF immunity. I was pleasantly surprised at the reasonable price, especially considering the great sound.

Re: [Flexradio] Receive-Only SDR (was: Manual notch filter?)
Guy, We have 11 banks of 11th order filters in the FLEX-5000. These are currently aligned respectively with each of the 11 Ham bands from 160m through 6m. A receive only version, when offered, would repurpose some of those filter banks for longwave and MW reception. For example, we would use the 12m slot for lower frequencies and combine 10/12m on one filter. We can do the same with 17/15m, etc. Gerald Gerald Youngblood, K5SDR FlexRadio Systems Ph: 512-535-4713 Fax: 512-233-5143 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web: www.flex-radio.com > -Original Message- > From: Guy Atkins [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, July 11, 2007 11:04 PM > To: 'Gerald Youngblood' > Cc: flexradio@flex-radio.biz > Subject: RE: [Flexradio] Receive-Only SDR (was: Manual notch filter?) > > That's encouraging news, Gerald.

If one of those are not used, then I would suggest blocking one of those 3 pins. At my previous place of employment, we used DB-9 connectors with crimp-on pins and only populated the housing with the pins we actually used, usually only pins 2, 3, & 5. Since all 3 of these pins are always used for an RS-232 serial cable, blocking one of them is the only sure-fire way of ensuring that a serial cable is not plugged into the flexwire connector. 73, Ray, K9DUR -- next part -- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

[Flexradio] DIGL and DIGU - what processing is done in ver 1.8 (and later if different)

Worse than that it can create all sorts of weird problems. Personally when there is any kind of major update, I re-calibrate everything, and I do not use the old database. Typically I install the new version in a new folder and setup everything from scratch, once the new version has proved itself I then delete the older versions although I always keep the last official release around. But others have different preferences, that is what makes the world go around, that or the moment of inertia, I forget which. :-D Cecil K5NWA www.softrockradio.org www.qrpradio.com www.hpsdr.com "Blessed are the cracked, for they shall let in the light." ___ 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/

> Larry, > I'm wondering if I am missing a trick that I should know. Why is USB > "better" for chasing DX > > Mark NU6X > Intrinsically, it isn't. It has to do with the way the panadapter works. DIGU will have the panadapter display going "up" instead of "down" and you end up, of course, listening "up" for most DX, at least if it isn't on frequency. Now, it's just possible you can work it all from your 3rd party software without reference to the panadapter at all. If you can do that, then it doesn't matter. But, I've always used both the panadapter and the 3rd party code's display (MixW in my case), so DIGU is the way I go. I do CWU for the same reason. DX listens up.

Re: [Flexradio] Manual notch filter?
"MUSIC" was invented where Frank and I worked for over 20 years together in the middle 1960's. It can be a problem living behind locked doors marked SHUT UP AS YOU LEAVE. But your point is well taken. One or more of these existing algorithms can be made to work. There is a large body of literature all over the place but in especially the bistatic radar literature it is very popular where you are always working to find the weak signal amongst the yelling throng. We will find something implementable that does not carry us into the next leap in Moore's law to accomplish.

[Flexradio] Newbie Questions
Hello: I have ordered my 5000A and downloaded the Power SDR application. I noticed the second VFO display. Does this mean the 5000A has two VFO's or is this reserved for secondary receiver hardware? I also noted commends about the ability to have multiple virtual receivers. I'd like to know more about this feature. Lastly, an initial observation on the GUI. It seems to be fixed to a certain sized window and does not scale to other windows sizes. With 24" LCD monitors becoming popular, it would be nice for the application main windows to scale to any size you want (like most Windows application). Lastly, is anyone using the application successfully on Windows Vista? Thanks, Kevin -- next part -- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Re: [Flexradio] Newbie Questions
Kevin, Welcome to the club! To answer most of you questions, download the SDR-1000 Operations manual for version 1.8.0 and start reading at Chapter 6. http://support.flex-radio.com/Downloads.aspx?id=112 95% of what is in these chapters is applicable to the FLEX-5000 since it has to do with PowerSDR almost exclusively. Especially the sections about the use of the VFOs, and SubRX (now called MultiWatch) or what you refer to as a virtual receiver. There is some information regarding the FLEX-5000 that has recently been posted on the Knowledge Base too and there will be more to come. http://kb.flex-radio.com The PowerSDR screen is fixed width. That will probably change to some degree when the GUI is separated from the radio functions in the next major software upgrade (aka Version 2). That work might start very late this year. Vista support... (sigh). The official PowerSDR compatibility statement can be found here http://www.flex-radio.com/Support.aspx?topic=PowerSDR_Compatibility. Some people are using it successfully. Others are not with the SDR-1000. It has not been tested by any of the FLEX-5000 beta testers since we are still doing functional testing and not compatibility testing (yet). Also, you can find a lot of information about PowerSDR, Expert Setups, "How to" guides and other general information in the Knowledge Base. Just use the search function and do simple single and double word searches. The search algorithms in this version of the KB are not the most advanced and we hope to rectify that in the coming months with a software upgrade to the KB. -Tim W4TME -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kevin Gunning Sent: Thursday, July 12, 2007 8:49 PM To: flexradio@flex-radio.biz Subject: [Flexradio] Newbie Questions Hello: I have ordered my 5000A and downloaded the Power SDR application.
