[Flexradio] SDR + kitchen sink for trade
I have decided to trade my SDR 1K, 100w PA, ATU, 2 meter transverter, parallel cable, usb cable, external clock kit, delta 44 original and Tony's version of break out box, cables, Heil Boom PL-2T and SM-2, PR40 , one complete UCB kit, one UBC pcb, one ozy, one Janus (new built versions not kits), 2 atlas boards, 2 Pinocchio's. This radio only has a few hours on it, and has 8 months left on the warranty. I have used it on the Army Mars bands with a g5rv. I am really centered on emcomms and satellite work, so this setup is not practical for me anymore. I need an all mode radio/mobile/base ( I prefer Yaesu or kenwood) that I can deploy with. I also have a Hy-gain crank up 52' with a heavy fold over base to trade, pictures can be seen at http ke5eup dot net. I am putting up a 100' tower and I already have a 70' crank up for emcomm, so this one needs a home, all pulleys and winches work, no rust, needs new cables. Why trade? It is just better for me, I am on a fixed income, and would rater trade than handle the money hassle. I am good on QRZ.

Re: [Flexradio] Flex HRD
Jerry My SDR1k is always connected to HRD. If you have VAC, verify that it is on for digital modes. If not, give us more info about your setup. Also install the latest HRD build, at present, 1628.

[Flexradio] 1K RF Amp Calibration on 160M and 10M?
Hi all, Ended up with failures on 160M and 10M when I went through my 1K RF amp calibration. Was using a dummy load attached directly to the rf output plug on the 1K. Calibration was successful on all bands except the two mentioned. On those two bands the calibration failed with a gain of 38. Suggestions?

Re: [Flexradio] 11kHz DC noise
Hi Ahti and all, Ahti, your note arrived just as I finished my investigation into the SDR1K 11kHz DC noise problem. To keep the chain going, I'll share my findings via your note. First, the hump is a sound card only problem. Not applicable to the 5K. Second there are two causes that can mix together. For critical discussion here goes... 1. Zero Hz defects in the sound card A/D process. These defects (at least in the FA-66) are constant magnitude and non additive to the signal. The hump is masked when the received signal + noise is higher than the defect noise. (The reverse is also true if the signal + noise is lower then the hump.) In my FA-66 the magnitude is ~ -100dBm. In a noisy environment like mine, when the 1K preamp is on, the defect is quickly masked. The only current way to reduce the hump is to buy the Atlas/Ozy/Janus combination from TAPR or a nice new 5K. The Ozy/Janus solution is approximately $300 plus a fair amount of time. 2. A ground loop between sound card and 1K. In my case the hump was about -80dBm and 2kHz wide. The ground loop noise is additive to the signal + noise making it quite a nuisance. It can be easily cured with a Radio Shack 270-054 isolation transformer and a stereo phono jack to 1/8th inch plug. The isolator goes between the 1K output jack and the sound card audio in. For fanatics, there is also a two channel EBTECH Hum Eliminator (~$60.) It's a wide frequency range (70kHz) version of the 270-054. The EBtech unit will result in a better frequency response at the high end of the panadapter display. Note that once I solved the ground loop problem, the zero Hz defects problem was unmasked, but for now I can live with it... Comments? Thanks for letting me ride on your note Ahti. 73's to all Rob AB7CF On Fri, 26 Oct 2007 08:47:36 +0300 Ahti Aintila [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: On 26/10/2007, Gerald Capodieci [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I apologize for being so late with this question or to repeat it again but, please someone point me to a definition of 11kHz DC noise and what problem it causes. I'm sure I have the problem too. I just don't recognize it. Thanks - Jerry Jerry, Some sound cards or SDR-1000/sound card combinations have very low frequency noise or hum (or even some small DC offset). That causes a hump on the left end of the Panadaptor noise floor (11.025 kHz down from your reception frequency in the older versions of PowerSDR or 9 kHz with the new PowerSDR). You may not see it, if your sound card has 48 kHz (or lower) sampling frequency, because it is outside your Panadaptor range. Switch on 96 or 192 kHz sampling, if your sound card can do it, then you may see it. In most cases this hump is just a cosmetic fault and does not make any harm to your normal bandwidth operation. If you want to get rid of the hump, buy the Flex-5000 or use HPSDR's Janus/Ozy combination with the SDR-1000 to replace the sound card. 73, Ahti OH2RZ ___ 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/ ___ 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/ -- next part -- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Now, John, you know I pay very close attention to what is said in the reflector since I really have little interest in re-inventing the wheel and always prefer to let others be a little ahead of me. Thus, given some of the comments of the last few months there is a 50 amp non-switching power supply and a dedicated red LED voltmeter right beside the transverters in the Flex cubby and I am satisfied that under full load the voltage moves less than two tenths. However, your note about the 13.8 says MUST BE AT LEAST. So I am curious.

[Flexradio] Using your Flex via VPN or remote Internet connection
How many of you have used your Flex via a remote connection? I have used my TS-2000 successfully via Go to My PC and Skype. I like the remote powering of the TS-2000 through the Ham Radio Deluxe. This works well. I am adding a transistorized power amp to this combo. What I would like to do is to control my Flex-1000 from the internet. The challenge has been the audio connection would have to be through analog connections to the Skype audio. I have tried using the virtual connection through the SDR software and it just will not work. This would be the way to do it, but you would have to map the PC audio out to the SDR audio in. This is the same difficulty you have playing back a WAV file on the PC to the SDR. I am sure someone has done it and that is why I am sending this out to the group. Also, who knows of a good ethernet remote control (multiple) switch that I can control the power on my different equipment (and antenna selection).

Re: [Flexradio] ham radio deluxe
Jerry, You need to review the VAC KB article again. It is very comprehensive. VAC is used to route audio in and out of PowerSDR to third-party programs without having to use additional cables to make an interface. vCom is just a serial port null modem emulator that will allow CAT commands only to be passed back and forth from PowerSDR to third-party programs. vCom does not pass any audio signals. That is the function of VAC This KB article is specific to MixW, but the concept is the same for all soundcard program. http://kb.flex-radio.com/article.aspx?id=10218 -Tim -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jerry Harley Sent: Friday, October 26, 2007 8:36 AM To: J.

Re: [Flexradio] Using your Flex via VPN or remote Internet connection
Harry, There are several KB articles on what you want to accomplish. You CAN route audio in and out of PowerSDR using VAC and VoIP software for remote operation. It does work and many people are doing it. The following article is how to setup IP Sound with PowerSDR, but the concepts are directly applicable to Skype. http://kb.flex-radio.com/article.aspx?id=10082 Here are a few articles on how to do remote operation with PowerSDR http://kb.flex-radio.com/Article.aspx?id=10083 http://kb.flex-radio.com/Article.aspx?id=10218 http://kb.flex-radio.com/article.aspx?id=10376 -Tim -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, October 26, 2007 9:43 AM To: flexradio@flex-radio.biz Subject: [Flexradio] Using your Flex via VPN or remote Internet connection How many of you have used your Flex via a remote connection? I have used my TS-2000 successfully via Go to My PC and Skype. I like the remote powering of the TS-2000 through the Ham Radio Deluxe. This works well. I am adding a transistorized power amp to this combo. What I would like to do is to control my Flex-1000 from the internet. The challenge has been the audio connection would have to be through analog connections to the Skype audio. I have tried using the virtual connection through the SDR software and it just will not work. This would be the way to do it, but you would have to map the PC audio out to the SDR audio in. This is the same difficulty you have playing back a WAV file on the PC to the SDR. I am sure someone has done it and that is why I am sending this out to the group. Also, who knows of a good ethernet remote control (multiple) switch that I can control the power on my different equipment (and antenna selection).

[Flexradio] SDR-1K + A/J/O + WinDRM config
Can anyone offer guidelines on config of WinDRM when using HPSDR A/J/O instead of a conventional soundcard. I note that the HPSDR stuff is not recognized as a selectable soundcard (since it really isn't one) in the WinDRM setup. Perhaps it's just a simple matter of selecting a different sound card from the available ones and use that sound card in conjunction with the VAC in and out channels? Thanks, Pete, N3EVL Peter J.

Re: [Flexradio] ham radio deluxe
Jerry, VAC (Virtual audio Cable) is needed to tie the SW audio out of HRD to the audio out of the radio (via SW) .. The other way is to use a sound card (maybe the computer's built-in) tied to the audio out of the 1K to the soundcard input and visa-versa..

[Flexradio] Mac OS X Leopard and Flex 5000
I just installed a copy of Mac's new OS Leopard. Using Boot Camp I setup XP Pro to work the Flex 5000. I discovered I could NOT get the driver to talk to the radio. I then decided to try Vista Premium in place of XP Pro and it seems to work fine with the 5000 under Leopard's Boot Camp. It is possible that my XP Pro install was faulty in some way. In checking the 1394 IRQ assignments I noted that there are 2 devices assigned to the same IRQ in the device manager of Xp Pro (at #19) . In the case of Vista it would seem that the 1394 firewire port is the only device assigned to interrupt # 19. On the other hand XP PRO running on a PC also has two devices assigned to interrupt 19 and it , as we know, has no trouble with the 5000. I am ONLY mentioning this to ease the suffering of someone else who MAY encounter the same result with Leopard. Again, my original install of XP Pro in leopard may simply have been faulty. I will gather my energy ASAP and do a second XP Pro install to verify if the case I found is universally truly there. -- next part -- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Re: [Flexradio] SDR-1K + A/J/O + WinDRM config
With the 1000, the delta 44 is all you need for WinDRM or DRMs' dream. No additional sound card is needed unless you want to use a USB headset (i.e. Logitech 250/350 for) then just select it for the voice input/output. I am waiting on delivery of the 5000 before I install the A/J/O for my SDR1000. However, I believe VAC can still be used for the RxInput and TxOutput (as used now). Then, I would install a second sound card (USB or Logitech headset) for Voice Input and Voice Output since there are no additional inputs/outputs available like the delta 44 has. WinDRM will recognize up to 8 sound card appearances.

Re: [Flexradio] 1K RF Amp Calibration on 160M and 10M?
Hi Edwin and everyone, The (lack of) drive is an interesting point: My calibration settings seem uniformly lower then the factory settings. Starting from 160M to 10M here is a comparison of Gain By Band (dB:) 160 806040302017 151210 Factory: 43.0 48.1 45.5 44.4 45.0 46.6 46.9 42.2 44.7 38.6 AB7CF: 38.0 46.7 45.0 43.4 44.0 43.8 43.2 39.2 47.4 38.0 With the exception of 12 M, my calibration points are all lower then the factory values. Also the power out is generally more than with then the factory settings: On 20 Meters Factory: 102 Watts, AB7CF: 106 Watts, on 160 Meters: Factory: 65 Watts, AB7CF 87 Watts and on 10 Meters: Factory 59 Watts, AB7CF 63 Watts. So in general I'm getting more power out with the custom settings. Could this mean that my FA-66 drive is lower than the factory drive used for the initial calibration? If so, how do I change the FA-66 output levels? Thanks in advance for any advice! 73's Rob AB7CF On Fri, 26 Oct 2007 17:26:28 -0400 Edwin Marzan [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Hi Rob, I had a similar problem with my SDR1K. I was told to check the expert setup box and change the voltage reading for your particular sound card. Apparently my sound card was not putting out enough voltage. I'm at work now and I don't recall where this setting is located. It did work for me after a recalibration. Tim Ellison emailed me on how to check the soundcard voltage.

Hi John, Checked and my power supply voltage was right on at the 1K terminals at 13.8 volts. Increased the voltage to 13.9 with no improvement. Calibration still fails at 38.0 dB. What's the significance of the Use Advance Calibration Routine? Thanks in advance for further insight... 73's Rob AB7CF On Fri, 26 Oct 2007 07:12:26 -0500 John P Basilotto W5GI [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Check for power supply voltage.

Hi all, Ended up with failures on 160M and 10M when I went through my 1K RF amp calibration. Was using a dummy load attached directly to the rf output plug on the 1K. Calibration was successful on all bands except the two mentioned. On those two bands the calibration failed with a gain of 38. Suggestions?
