[Flexradio] KEYS FOR DRIVE UP AND DOWN
Hello: When i am tuning my amplifier, i think that is useful if i could have drive up and down in my shuttlepro. Is this possible now? if not, i think that is important and very useful.

[Flexradio] Tune steps
I have requested this feature before. Right now I'm contesting in the SCC RTTY championships. I'm SP for the moment. Using Writelog, I can select a station from the Bandmap and be on his frequency quickly Well almost, sometimes do to the spotting stations inaccuracy, I will be off a bit. I can adjust this via the mouse wheel Each click of the mouse wheel is one unit of Tune Step. In RTTY, using MMTTY, I find that 10HZ in too slow But The next jump is Tune Step 50Hz And that's a tad too fast. I end up overshooting too low or too high. The other part of the problem is a slight latency between mouse wheel click and reaction by the PWSDR vfo. The shuttle Pro dial wheel suffers the same latency. Please add more Tune Steps. Suggestions: For RTTY fine tuning a 20 or 25Kh would be just about perfect. For CW contesting the gap between 1 and 10 is too large A 5Kh tunestep would be a great addition. Please consider this, it doesn't make much difference in normal rag chewing, but in crowded contest/dx situations it does. Especially with RTTY where just a tad off frequency makes the difference between good copy on weak stations. I find that Flex copies real real real well, if you can get the mark and space properly tuned in. I can copy weak stations that I can't with my other rigs. but with my other rigs I can feather the dial to more precisely tune in a station. ___ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ Knowledge Base: http://kb.flex-radio.com/ Homepage: http://www.flex-radio.com/
[Flexradio] MMTTY - VISTA - PSDR help needed!
I've been attempting to get MMTTY up and running with my FLEX-5000A and the wonderful world of VISTA OS. I've tried every thing I can think of, used suggested set ups from multiple locations, which all are essentially the same. I've been using MMTTY for years with ICOM , Kenwood etc.. Here's what Happens - Believe it or not. Received signal displayed on MMTTY Waterfall or X pattern is 10KHZ below audio passband with what appears to be extremely sharp filter. It took me a while to find it, but did this morning watching Panadpater to see what signal was coming and going as seen on MMTTY. When I go into xmit - PSDR Power is uncontrollable - Output shows 175 watts (13,6VDC @ 24 Amps), both on SDR Pwr Mtr and external Pwr Mtr. I assume carrier is also 10 KHz below. I don't want to fire it up again to see what freq it is actually transmitting on, for fear of loosing Final Transistors, but assume it to also be 10 KHz below passband. Setup - Vista 32 bit OS HP Pavilion PSDR V1.12.1 with 5000A VAC version 4 Com0Com MixW works just fine, but I'm not impressed with it for RTTY contesting Suggestions please via direct reply, copy Reflector if you wish.

Re: [Flexradio] PC Suggestions?
Pete, I am using an IBM small form factor desktop machine, 3.2 gig P4 with a gig of memory...40 gig HD. It's 2 years old. I pick them up from a company that buys off lease computers in volume (pallets full at a time). With a Microsoft COA for XP Pro and a keyboard and mouse they are $150. Typical CPU utilization is 15 to 20% and the machine is dedicated to the radio only. I access it on my home network with a remote desktop connection so I don't need a monitor or keyboard on it and it does a fine job. I've even been using Linux Ubuntu to access it remotely and that works too! When Linux PSDR gets here, I'll just reload that machine. I think the price is about the best I can find for a machine that is not a barn burner but it does the job easily. -- Larry W8ER n3evl wrote: So, the builder starts converting the basement on Tuesday and Pete gets a new shack! This means the SDR1000 will move downstairs leaving its computer behind in the office for the xyl to use -- so, I'm going to need a new PC pretty soon if the radio is ever to get back on the air. I'm interested in recomendations - I'm thinking Core2 Quad. I'd be interested to hear what works well in terms of mother boards and video cards either self-assembled or complete systems. I'll probably stick with XP for the OS as I need the USB interface to HPSDR hardware and, as far as I know, the USB driver is not supported on Vista. 73, Pete, N3EVL ___ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ Knowledge Base: http://kb.flex-radio.com/ Homepage: http://www.flex-radio.com/ ___ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ Knowledge Base: http://kb.flex-radio.com/ Homepage: http://www.flex-radio.com/
Re: [Flexradio] Tune steps
Please add more Tune Steps. I would go one step further: please add acceleration to the tuning. Tuning faster, i.e. spinning the knob or wheel, increases the step size but when tuning slowly the step size reduces to 10Hz or even 1Hz. That way we wouldn't have to mess with tuning step size. As for step size, we live in an logarithmic world. Ever wonder why attenuators go in a 1x, 2x, 5x, 10x sequence? Think about it for tuning steps.

Re: [Flexradio] Tune steps
Hmm I wonder about this. I wonder if the speed of contesting can handle 'thinking'. My eyes watch the mark/space display, I have 'learned' how much I need to turn the mouse wheel relative to have far off to the side of the mark/space bars in the display, the mark appears to be. I don't consciously determine the number of up/down mouse detents I need. It's just reaction. I'm usually pretty close. The problem is 'timing'. I only have so long to get my receiver locked on to the signal before I miss the callsign. If I'm cqing, I have to ask for a repeat. If I'm SPing, I have to wait till he works the guy who got there first and finishes. As in life...TIMING IS EVERYTHING! When I cq, I use this technique. I cq on vfob. but I receive and tune in responding stations on vfoa That way MY frequency never changes. but I still have to compensate for responders who are off that smidgin that results in no print. Software AFC helps, but is not foolproof, so I resort to mouse wheel, Shuttle center dial, or Navigator. (It aids arthritic fingers to have multiple devices) As I said, 1 or 5khz tunesteps are way to slow, 10 is just a tad too slow 50khz is too fast. User defined tune steps are my hoped for choice. A auto adjust mark/space AFC for digital would be great also. But may not be fast enough.

If you see a station down the band and you want to pounce on it, you tune quickly and then slow down to do the final tuning. No counting steps. It is all by feel. The key thing is that I want to move quickly to get near the desired frequency and then tune slowly to zero-beat. You really want your tuning step to be something like 100, 200, or 500 Hz per step while you are spinning across the band and getting in the ballpark. Once you are within 100Hz or so you want to slow down to 1, 2, or 5 Hz per step when you are down to tuning to zero beat. Seems that some sort of acceleration would help rather than hinder.

Re: [Flexradio] MMTTY - VISTA - PSDR help needed!
Gary, You adjust your output using the VAC transmit level, either under Setup = Audio = VAC or the levels will appear on the front console with you select Dig U or DigL.Also on the offset difference, check for offset in MMTYY.

Re: [Flexradio] Tune steps
Hm I see what you mean My mouse is not a contstant mouse wheel. Same for the Shuttle, it really controls Writelog, not PWSDR. The Navigator is PWSDR only. Each step of the mouse wheel or Shuttle wheel tells Writelog to move the receive frequency by one Tune Step. What ever the Tune Step I have presently selected in PWSDR. One Mouse wheel step could be 1hz or 10K. I normally leave it at 10Hz, which is a tad too slow. The mouse wheel does not control PWSDR, Writelog reads the mouse wheel and tells PWSDR to move 1 step for each increment. As I rarely ever submit a score, I use the cluster, Writelogs Bandmap displays the stations and I just mouse click on my friends calls and give them a point. When I feel like it, I 'RUN', and that's where the off frequency responses cause the problem. I'm cqing at 14.093.386 and actually the responser is at 14.093.350 He didn't have enough time to tune exactly. But that causes me not to be able to copy the callsign, hence a 'agn' request and usually by now he's close enough for me to tell who it was. As far as I know, there is no rtty equavalent to CWSkimmer. The rtty signal is no more that 200hz wide mark to space. If one side of the signal is out of the tuning passband, no copy. Most contest software employs a AFC that will react fast enough on a strong signal to shift the audio. But a weaker or multiple stations will drive AFC crazy. So far ...hand/eye and ear coordination will beat weak signal AFC detection. I can tell if the station is high/low by ear, and will tune without looking at the display. but as I said, the signal is short duration, so adjustment speed/accuracy is crucial in rtty contesting. Flex has come a long way with digital contesting. CW also. When I got my first Flex...I really was afraid I wouldn't make a go of it. But the code gods at Flex have really strived to make it a contest machine. As a DXing machine, it's in contention for top group. As a contest machine, it still needs some minor tweaking. - Original Message - From: Brian Lloyd [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: FireBrick [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: flexRadio List flexradio@flex-radio.biz Sent: Saturday, August 30, 2008 2:59 PM Subject: Re: [Flexradio] Tune steps On Aug 30, 2008, at 12:48 PM, FireBrick wrote: Hmm I wonder about this.

The size of the tuning quantum (step size) should vary depending on how quickly I am turning the knob. Example: consider the computer mouse. Most pointing devices utilize acceleration. When you are trying to move the mouse pointer to the other side of the screen you move the mouse quickly. The pointer accelerates, moving many pixels per step of the mouse wheel. When your pointer gets in the vicinity of what you want to point at you slow down your motion of the mouse and the resolution increases, i.e. the pointer step size decreases. If you want to get a feel for it, turn off acceleration of your mouse so that step size remains constant. You will quickly get annoyed. This is my reaction to the fixed step-size built into PSDR. I am with Firebrick on this but I want to go one step further and have the step size vary depending on how quickly I am tuning.

Re: [Flexradio] Tune steps
doesn't matter Tim The mouse or shuttle pro wheel control Writelog, not PWSDR. That's the problem. Tuning PWSDR via the mouse and then trying to switch mouse focus to Writelog or ANY contest/logging program is too slow, and cumbersome. Focus is the issue in a contest environment. I could have 10 mice/input devices, but it's hard to control to sets of software at the same time. One has to be controland it's Writelog or N1MM or DXlabs. Even with PWSDR on one monitor and Contest program on other. I can't efficiently move the mouse back and forth to fine tune off frequency replies or qsy faster enough for contest rate efficiency. Mousing to the PWSDR vfo display, selecting the proper digit and adjusting is FAR TOO SLOW to work in a contest. Trying to adjust the panadaptor, is far to INACCURATE to work in a contest. Tune Steps work, just need a couple more choices. While I can't tell the difference by ear. I can tell if the station is FSK or AFSK, AFSK is a tad wider on the scope. I have the scope set for 200Hz, that way if it's AFSK, it' on the mark space lines. If it's FSK, it's just inside the lines. Both will print But if either of the mark or space lines are outside the lines, and the station is WEAK, then I need to fine tune. Now if PWSDR has a FAST AFC system, I could use my two vfo to full advantage. Transmit on vfo b and let PWSDR adjust receive frequency via AFC. That would be a fantastic solution.!! And to take that one step fatherHave the FAST AFC also be a 'voter/comparator like we have in public service communications where it picks the 'best' signal, not necessarily the loudest signal. LOL LOL That would run my 'rate' through the roof. Hence my system of letting PWSDR sit there...and take all it's band/mode/ fine tuning commands from Writelogwhere all the action is. Using a mouse and Shuttle at the same time. Shuttle buttons programmed for all the contest F keys, buffers etc. and mouse to 'grab' exchanges and fine tune. As I first stated, the only problem with this, is the not ready for prime time tuning steps, not enough of them! They should be users definable... That way I could pick the best choice for my hand/eye choice dependent on the mode I'm contesting in. small tune steps for cw, larger for rtty, and obviously bigger for phone. - Original Message - From: Tim Ellison [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: FireBrick [EMAIL PROTECTED]; flexRadio List flexradio@flex-radio.biz Sent: Saturday, August 30, 2008 3:51 PM Subject: RE: [Flexradio] Tune steps How about a mouse with a wheel that doesn't utilize detents? -Tim -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of FireBrick Sent: Saturday, August 30, 2008 3:49 PM To: flexRadio List Subject: Re: [Flexradio] Tune steps Hmm I wonder about this.

Re: [Flexradio] MMTTY - VISTA - PSDR help needed!
Yes, you can now select input and output soundcard devices independently. I also increased the serial port range to 16, knowing the Flexer's appetite for virtual ports. Updated online help is now available and included in the release. Its also available independently via http://www.dxlabsuite.com/MMTTY/mmtty.chm The release note is appended below. 73, Dave, AA6YQ MMTTY version 1.66F release note 2008-08-17 1.

TX tab - renamed the PTT panel to PTT FSK (tnx to Joe W4TV) - added com8 through com16 to the PTT FSK panel's Port selector (tnx to Oba-san JA7UDE) - clicking a button in the Input Button panel from a non-Japanese locale displays a window entitled Edit Button (tnx to Joe W4TV) B. Misc tab - the new Device Identifiers panel enables independent selection of soundcard devices for reception (RX) and transmission (TX); any of 16 input and output soundcard devices can be selected (tnx to Gil W0MN and Joe W4TV) - selecting an RX or TX device identifier in the Device Identifiers panel updates the respective Reception or Transmission panels shown on the new Soundcard tab C. Soundcard tab (new) - the Reception panel shows all installed soundcard input devices; selecting an input device updates the RX selector in the Misc tab's Device Identifiers panel - the Transmission panel shows all installed soundcard output devices; selecting an output device updates the TX selector in the Misc tab's Device Identifiers panel 2. Changes to the Radio Command window - added com8 through com16 to the Port selector (tnx to Oba-san JA7UDE) - added 38400 and 57600 to the Baud selector (tnx to Joe W4TV) - named the selector in the lower-left corner Group - modified the contents of the Group selector: *** renamed the previous Yaesu HF? (FT-1000MP,...) entry to Yaesu FT 1000D, 1000MP, 920 *** renamed the previous Yaesu VU? (FT-736,FT-847) entry to Yaesu FT 736, 817, 847, 857, 897 *** added a Yaesu FT 9000, 2000, 950, 450 entry (tnx to Joe W4TV and Art W2NRA) *** renamed the previous Kenwood entry to Kenwood, Elecraft (tnx to Joe W4TV) - renamed the Commands panel's VFO Polling selector to Model, and added entries for the Yaesu FT 9000, 2000, 950, and 450 (tnx to Joe W4TV) 3. Other notes == A. As before, changes made to settings shown in the Radio Command and MMTTY Setup windows do not take effect until the window is closed by clicking its OK button. B. On Vista, log into the account named Administrator before installing or running MMTTY C. the updated online help was developed by Joe W4TV with help from AL VE4ABU C. 1.66F is a software-only upgrade, meaning that you must already have MMTTY installed. I will develop an installer for use with PCs that don't yet have MMTTY installed. If you want to install 1.66F on a PC that doesn't yet have MMTTY installed, first install version 1.65D, and then upgrade as described below. D. To upgrade an existing MMTTY installation to 1.66F, download the zip archive from http://www.dxlabsuite.com/MMTTY/mmtty166F.zip The archive mmtty166F.zip contains two files: mmtty.exe and 1.66F.txt Place mmtty.exe in your MMTTY folder, replacing the existing file, and then run it.
