Re: [Flexradio] SVN 1869, sideband
I am struggling with a DSP Buffer issue that was causing a lapse of memory of the DSP settings (like which sideband you are in). The original problem is still there, but I have reverted my changes that caused the DSP recall issue. Note that with the current PowerSDR SVN alpha version, starting the console with RX DSP buffers set to 4096 will result in the console running with 2048 size buffers. To get 4096 (really) you will need to switch to another size and then back. We will address this as quickly as possible, but I trust everyone will agree that having the DSP forget it's state whenever changing the size is a worse problem to deal with.

This is correct. However, the wakeup is only if you're sending a command to the tuner. It will sit in autotune mode perfectly happy without ever needing a wakeup. Conceivably, you can set it up in autotune mode once, and it will even remember it through power cycles (although I haven't tried it.) You will need to wake it up if you want to measure SWR or do a semi automatic (manually started) tune. The wakeup requires toggling RTS for a short time. My suggestion would be to run separate software to run the ATU if > that is your ATU of choice. Certainly that is the easiest way to go. ___ 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/

Do I click on ATU present in the Hardware config. How do I > set this up, > so the SDR1000 knows it is in line Hmmm.. The AT200PC (which I have 5 of) uses a RS232 interface, and has a fairly well documented control/response protocol. The GUI program on LDGs or W4RTs website is in VB2003, but would not lend itself to linking with PowerSDR (It's really designed as a standalone diagnostic program). Given that the tuner inside a SDR1K (if that option was installed) is somewhat similar, it is possible that the control scheme is similar (albeit, not a COM port). I haven't looked at the code that controls the tuner in PowerSDR, but conceivably, the high level interface is simple (Tuner on/off, Tune, maybe some "frequency" commands) so it's feasible to add AT200PC support, but I suspect that's pretty low on the priority list. I have a fair amount of code in various languages (VB2005, VC2005, matlab) to control the AT200PC that I can give to someone who's interested in trying to glue it in. Maybe your best bet is to set up PowerSDR as notuner, and separately use the tuner. (PC-ALE and HRD both support the AT200PC, although I haven't tried them with a SDR1000/PowerSDR) Jim, W6RMK ___ 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/
Re: [Flexradio] ATU
Eric, According to the LDG website, the AT-200PC does go into a sleep mode, but it will wake up either by a specific wake-up command, namely by asserting the RTS line on the serial port, or by detecting the presence of an RF carrier. In any event, he should use a separate program to control the AT-200PC. 73, Ray, K9DUR ___ 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/
Re: [Flexradio] re LDG AT-200PC ATU
Kerry, here is a link to the LDG webpage describing the AT-200PC http://www.ldgelectronics.com/products.php?cID=1&pID=4&v=1 I own and like LDG Tuners. I think they are some of the best on the market. However, I do not see the letters "SDR" anywhere in the description. I see a reference to various software that might be integrated with this particular tuner. I see a reference to source code for a GUI: http://www.ldgelectronics.com/c/267/at-200-pc-softwareV GL de ken n9vv ___ 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/
Re: [Flexradio] ATU
Kerry, Do NOT set PowerSDR to think that there is an ATU present. That setting is for the internal ATU only and it will change the behavior of the "Tune" button on the PowerSDR console. I am not familiar with the AT-200PC, so I looked it up on the LDG website to see what it is all about. I have an LDG AT-100Pro ATU that I use with my FT-847 in the camper & like really well. PowerSDR is not set up to control the AT-200PC directly. You will need to use the software provided with the AT-200PC or some other 3rd party software to control the ATU. However, like all LDG tuners, very little interaction with the tuner itself is necessary, so this is not a problem. PowerSDR does not really need to know that the tuner is in line. If no internal ATU is present, clicking on the "Tune" button on the PowerSDR console will cause the SDR-1000 to transmit a carrier (set to 10W by default) until the button is clicked again. With the AT-200PC in automatic mode, it will automatically tune to the antenna on that frequency. So, to use the AT-200PC with the SDR-1000, simply place the AT-200PC in Auto mode and click on the "Tune" button when you change frequency or band. When the AT-200PC finishes its tune cycle, click the "Tune" button again to return the SDR-1000 to receive mode. Theoretically, in Auto mode, you should be able to simply start transmitting and the AT-200PC will detect the RF & start a tuning cycle. I found with my AT-100Pro that this did not really work that well. Unless you are on a frequency that has been tuned before & is stored in the tuner's memory, the tuner takes a few seconds to achieve a match. This works MUCH better with a continuous carrier like you get when you click on the "Tune" button in PowerSDR. 73, Ray, K9DUR ___ 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/
Re: [Flexradio] ATU
Kerry, The ATU Installed option in PowerSDR was designed with the FlexRadio provided ATU (manufactured by LDG -- model Z100) in mind. Other models may work (perhaps even other manufacturer's models as well), but that would be more of a coincidence than anything else. For what it is worth, I believe the AT-200PC talks to a serial port and requires a wake up command ... neither of which is present in the PowerSDR software. My suggestion would be to run separate software to run the ATU if that is your ATU of choice.

[Flexradio] I should say
The ATU is for SDR Radios and SDR Software. It connects to the computer and should talk to the SDR1000, also connects to the antenna out on SDR.

Re: [Flexradio] ATU
Kerry, I believe that PowerSDR's ATU only works with the Flex Radio supplied, internal ATU. It has a special interface just for the SDR-1000. You can just treat it as a stand-alone ATU and ignore the ATU setting in PowerSDR.
