Re: [Flexradio] Heil connections to the FLEX-5000A
Tim: Yes, I realize that there isn't an actual sound card; I just mis-stated things as I described my problem. The problem was reported to me during my first on-air test of the Flex 5000, so I know the distortion was present in the transmitted audio rather than just being heard locally. I should also note that at the time, I didn't have a headset plugged in. Additionally , the distortion disappeared when I reduced the drive setting to zero. Since the noise was only present on two bands and was affected by the drive level, I assumed a problem with RF getting into the input, and began unplugging connecting cables that were not beaded, including the power speakers. When I keyed the radio with nothing connected to the Foster jack, the thumping was not present, and as I stated earlier, the Heil Proset also works without a problem. I've had my Heil Classic for several years, and it has been used successfully on my TS-2000; probably the best microphone I've ever used. The only change in the set up was the CC-1 Yaesu adapter. What I'm seeing on the panadapter is a periodic rapid rise and fall of approximately 20 db across the entire filter passband during transmit (but again, only on 10 and 15 meters). I haven't pulled apart my CC-1 adapter to see if it is wired the same as Ed's, but I'm wondering if the fact that the fact that one side of the PTT is wired to the audio ground rather than the DC ground may be causing a problem.

[Flexradio] Help with Digital Mode and Hamscope
I cannot get my SDR-1000 to transmit on digital. It receives, the rig will key up, and a signal is showing on Hamscope, but there is no drive to the radio nor RF out. My setup is: Edirol, VAC, NV8Com, TRX Manager as logging program that Hamscope uses to key the rig. I have tried the same thing with MIXw and have exactly the same results. It's probably something very simple, but at the moment I can't see the problem.

[Flexradio] Help with Digital Mode and Hamscope
DUH...you have to turn up the TX gain on the Digital Specific controls on the front control panel. I tested the unit again with a lower reading watt meter and found a small amount of RF going out. Then I boosted the TX gain control and voila have output. Band conditions are so bad at the moment, I can't get an on air test. Sorry about the bandwidth.

Re: [Flexradio] Adjusting CW Sidetone for Skype
I'm not sure exactly how you have your audio routed, but between the regular volume controls (AF, RF, etc) and the VAC controls, I believe we should be able to find something that works. Note that there is a specific TX AF control on the Setup Form - Transmit Tab.

Re: [Flexradio] Record/Playback Problems...
The wave file recorder is (unfortunately) unaware of the IF at any setting. This is why it comes up off center. The DSB signal makes me think that perhaps you are recording post processed audio (or 'just plain audio' as opposed to 'I/Q audio'). Take a look at the options menu form on the Wave record form to check your settings.

Just thought I'd play with the record/playback options which I had intended to use during a sked later this evening (record off the air and re-transmit). I'm seeing some weird behavior: The spectrum of the played-back signal as shown in the panadapter is way to the left of the shaded filter passband region of the screen. The spectrum for a LSB signal looks more like a DSB signal. I'm assuming it should look like the signal as displayed at the time of recording I'm wondering if the record/playback code is aware that the IF has changed from 11.025 to 9 KHz?

Re: [Flexradio] First Blood for my FLEX-5000
After some suitable clowning around with the new rig, I cracked the Burundi DXpedition on 40 meters just now (still using the HF2V). An all time new one for me. The new amplifier hookup/setup helped even though I wasn't running a full KW or anything of the sort. More like 150 watts maybe. But, the new features are already counting for something. We'll see if I can win on 80 next.

[Flexradio] 2OSR Anyone???
Has anyone else pondered the feasibility of running one session of PowerSDR on two separate computers with both being connected to a single 5000A HW box?? I'm thinking that such concept could be useful in an Unlimited Multi Op contest category. One operator would be the run operator and the other operator being the SP operator. Each would have their own UI control and each could have two RX's as in today's PowerSDR, and then with the next generation PowerSDR software, maybe even 3-4 RX's per operator. No doubt would take some practice to learn how to team operate like that, but I would think it should be doable. Yes? No? Duane N9DG Need a vacation? Get great deals to amazing places on Yahoo!

Once again, demonstrating the point that contesters are driving so many of the interesting SDR challenges... Duane - N9DG wrote: Has anyone else pondered the feasibility of running one session of PowerSDR on two separate computers with both being connected to a single 5000A HW box?? Most of what you're describing is not a big reach at all. What's novel about this scenario is the need to arbitrate commands and data input from more than one operator at a time. On its face, that would seem to be much more of a human protocol issue than a technical one. However it does imply three important requirements: first, command message streams from each UI need to be stateful; second, the command protocol needs to include priorities; and third, commands may need some sort of time tagging and scheduling. Very interesting. Important stuff to bring into the picture. Fortunately, not something either the UIs or the DSP need to know anything about. For the rest, this configuration isn't much different from running multiple UIs on one machine, except the control/focus issue is more clearly defined for a single user with several UI instances. In that case, commands can still be treated as atomic rather than stateful, and can be executed as they arrive rather than needing scheduling. Much, much simpler.

Re: [Flexradio] 2OSR Anyone???
I think that would probably require that components (rx1, rx2, tx) inside the 5000A box be separately addressable on the firewire bus, and that PowerSDR had the capabilty to target them separately. I don't think the software is there yet, but I might be wrong. And we won't have that second receiver anytime soon, I am guessing.
