Re: [Flexradio] CW w/ FLEX-5000A
Tim, I've been operating anywhere from about 25 wpm to 45 wpm and keep the Semi Break In Delay (ms) setting on PowerSDR (in the CW section of controls) set to about 200mS at the slower speeds, and sometimes shorten it down to 100mS for the faster speeds, but not always. I'm not a fan of QSK to begin with, so I these settings suit me well, and provide fast and seamless break-in capability where I can hear band noise between words (at 100 mS setting), but not between letters.

Re: [Flexradio] CAT causing Screen, mouse, keyboard lockups ?
Ken, 1) I have the same versions of VCOM, VAC and MixW that you do... 2) I have demonstrated the problem on two different computes. My main machine is a an AMD 3300+ with lots of stuff on it. The second machine is an old machine (just for this test ) 1 Ghz Celeron that has almost no other stuff installed. 3) The new thing that I found is that it only locks up on the main machine if I have the CAT and I have the process priority set to REAL TIME. With process priority set to HIGH, it does not lockup. With priority set to high, the CPU usage momentarily goes from 20% to 100% when it gets to 1365 polls and then returns to normal. On the slow machine it will go into hard lockup with REAL TIME, and just a major SLOW down with priority set to HIGH ( the CPU goes from about 60 % to 100 % after 1365 polls. ) 4) I can demonstrate the problem with a new database changed just enough to run the demo mode and CAT. 5) I have a suspicion that the problem may have been introduced with the CAT ring buffer (SVN 1355) but that is a wild guess. I have not seen the problem with svn's prior to 1355. AL, K0VM p.s. this has been a slow process since 1365 polls at one per second is 22+ minutes... Ken N9VV wrote: Hi Al, I am running MixW and EasyPal and SVN 1413-1415 for several days with not a single lockup of any kind. I have never experienced any sort of a CAT problem using N8VB-vCOM serial ports. I wonder if your particular PC and setup are uniquely causing the problem? What version of VAC and vCOM are you using?

Re: [Flexradio] CAT causing Screen, mouse, keyboard lockups ?
Guys, Sure wish I could duplicate this problem but it completely eludes me at this location. Here's the test I just finished running: Computer: Dell Dimension 8400, Pentium 4 @ 3.4 GHz, 1 mb RAM, Windows XP Pro SP2 Radio/Software: SDR-1000, PowerSDR SVN 1416, DXLab Commander CI-V 6.7.0 set to poll at 100 ms (actually measured at 80 ms), Outlook, Internet Explorer, Task Manager, and DPC Latency Checker all running concurrently. PowerSDR Process Priority at Real Time. The setup has been running since 1931 hours (over 45 minutes at this time) with a CPU usage between 18 and 25% (more when I move stuff around on the screen) and has not failed yet. I have seen no rise in CPU usage on the Task Manger performance graphs. There has been no lockup or freezing. What I can't figure out is how the buffer can overflow (but that doesn't mean it can't :)). I look at the number of bytes in the ring buffer every 2 ms and do a read if they are greater than zero. This should (and did when I monitored it during the design phase) keep the buffer well within its allocated 4096 bytes. I have made some changes to the code that have not been released yet to speed up the processing time for incoming CAT commands just a little but I seriously doubt they will affect this problem. Al, thanks for bringing this to my attention and I would appreciate any suggestions you might have on further testing. 73, Bob K5KDN -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of a.groff Sent: Saturday, August 11, 2007 5:23 PM To: Ken N9VV Cc: flexradio@flex-radio.biz Subject: Re: [Flexradio] CAT causing Screen, mouse, keyboard lockups ? Ken, 1) I have the same versions of VCOM, VAC and MixW that you do... 2) I have demonstrated the problem on two different computes. My main machine is a an AMD 3300+ with lots of stuff on it. The second machine is an old machine (just for this test ) 1 Ghz Celeron that has almost no other stuff installed. 3) The new thing that I found is that it only locks up on the main machine if I have the CAT and I have the process priority set to REAL TIME. With process priority set to HIGH, it does not lockup. With priority set to high, the CPU usage momentarily goes from 20% to 100% when it gets to 1365 polls and then returns to normal. On the slow machine it will go into hard lockup with REAL TIME, and just a major SLOW down with priority set to HIGH ( the CPU goes from about 60 % to 100 % after 1365 polls. ) 4) I can demonstrate the problem with a new database changed just enough to run the demo mode and CAT. 5) I have a suspicion that the problem may have been introduced with the CAT ring buffer (SVN 1355) but that is a wild guess.

Re: [Flexradio] Problem calibrating frequency.
From my view, it DOES work now, but it seems to be a bit lax in its tolerance!

Re: [Flexradio] CAT causing Screen, mouse, keyboard lockups ?
Al, I wonder if it has to do with the dual audio streams that are now in effect, with the speed of the machines. There was a noticeable resource usage increase due to the tx and rx audio streams. Just a guess. On my 2.0 ghz machine, it could only run the later SVNs (no CAT or VCom running) when I boosted the memory to 512K and then it ran at 50%.. 1 ghz Celeron might be alittle taxed. 73, Dudley WA5QPZ At 05:23 PM 8/11/2007, a.groff wrote: Ken, 1) I have the same versions of VCOM, VAC and MixW that you do... 2) I have demonstrated the problem on two different computes.

Re: [Flexradio] Problem calibrating frequency.
Hi Dan The problem in my case is the software for reasons that the Beta 1.9 is not compatible with the Ver 1.8 so far as calibration is concerned. Maybe the mod you did is tied up with the software not being compatible. 73 de Howard 5B4AHX - Original Message - From: Dan Scott [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Van de Velde Eddy [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, August 12, 2007 5:17 AM Subject: Re: Problem calibrating frequency. I sent a message to Ed at Flex and he got back to me immediately. For me, I determined that problem was NOT related to the software which ended up being correct. The issue I had with instability related to the crystal heater and he had me disconnect one of the wires inside the SDR1000. My system is now stable. It took a couple emails but I'm fairly well satisfied. He also has me marked down as having this problem and will send new parts if the problem happens again. So, you might want to contact flex directly. 73, Dan - kb0ppm Van de Velde Eddy wrote: Hello, Has anyone of you got an answer for this problem ?
