[Flexradio] Sampling rate and buffers for CW operators?
I'm trying to get a feel for what other primarily CW operators are using for sampling rate and buffers taking the computer limitations out of the equation. Assuming the computer is robust enough to handle it, what setting do you find the best overall balance between latency and filter sharpness? I'm using a Intel quad core with 4 GB ram and I have the firewire driver and primary audio set at 192Khz sampling rate and buffer size of 2048. (Firewire at normal operation) The DSP buffers are set at RX=4096 and TX=2048. There appears to be little difference between the 100hz and 25 hz filters at these settings. The CPU usage is normally less than 20% running PowerSDR 1.18.0 and Logic 8 under these settings I am just learning how to operate this radio and would like to see what other cw operators are using. I am amazed by how quiet the radio is and how much easier it is to copy weak cw signals down in the noise.

Re: [Flexradio] Sampling rate and buffers for CW operators?
Tim, To get the sharpest RX (and for that matter, TX too) filters, currently you need to use the lowest sampling rate (48 KHz) and the largest DSP RX buffer size. This relationship is explained in great detail in the most current version of the FLEX Owner's Manual, appendix C. http://support.flex-radio.com/Downloads.aspx?id=271 -Tim -Original Message- From: flexradio-boun...@flex-radio.biz [mailto:flexradio-boun...@flex-radio.biz] On Behalf Of NZ8J Sent: Tuesday, May 12, 2009 6:42 AM To: flexradio@flex-radio.biz Subject: [SPAM] [Flexradio] Sampling rate and buffers for CW operators?

Re: [Flexradio] Sampling rate and buffers for CW operators?
Hello Tim, I was just about to press the 'send' key on my email response when I saw Bob's email, and I'll second his comments and your comments about the sound of the receiver. It's a real pleasure to listen to. If you want to hear just how good the filters can be, try a sample rate of 48K, 512 for the audio buffer size, and 4096 DSP RX buffers. You will definitely observe a difference even between the 25 Hz and 50 Hz filters. It's my understanding that once Bob has implemented the multirate code, all sample rates will provide the same incredible filter performance as can be achieved currently with the 48K sample rate! I've been operating cw for 43 years, and I feel very confident in saying that you won't find a better performing or better sounding receiver - at any price. Have fun! 73, Dale WA8SRA NZ8J wrote: I'm trying to get a feel for what other primarily CW operators are using for sampling rate and buffers taking the computer limitations out of the equation.

We have thought a lot about doing that, but just haven't done it. The only reason for doing it is to get the display fired up with your keyed elements. I hope to end the question of filter shape and sample rate forever today. The multirate code is very close to deployment in the simplest form. Following this, filter shape factors will be IDENTICAL at 192000, 96000, and 48000 (at long last). Ah, at last. I recently switched to using a sample rate of 48KHz and sample buffers in order to get the best filter skirts and was bemoaning the loss of width on the pan display. You want to set the Audio buffers as small as is consistent with stability. I wish I could give you better guidance but this is really almost totally out of our control. It depends on your firewire, computer, .. I have a set of functions in mind on how to give advice on the settings for these modes or just doing it but allowing you to change it. I bet it would be possible for the software to determine how long it takes to process things and then set values accordingly. With a single downconversion stage, and its linearity, coupled with the (still) best audio A/D for under a $1000, it does sound beautiful. The lack of intermod in the audio does make for very pleasant listening. No kidding. It is why I tell people that the F5K is the best receiver I have ever heard, my other complaints notwithstanding.

Re: [Flexradio] Bandwidth of Flex 3000
Ray, You may be thinking of the letters Riley wrote to four ESSB users. After those letters went out, bandwidth petitions that sought to limit AM and SSB bandwidth were repeatedly and consistently over ruled by Order of the FCC Chief of the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau, in favor of experimentation and flexibility. See, e.g., DA-04 3661 (FCC DENIAL of bandwidth petition RM-10740). After the FCC Order was published, ARRL withdrew it's own bandwidth petition, RM-11306. So, ESSB is very much alive, and legal, in the U.S. If the bandwidth of the Flex 3,000 was the same as the 1,000 and 5,000, I'd probably buy one. http://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/DA-04-3661A1.pdf http://www.arrl.org/news/stories/2007/04/27/101/?nc=1 Brian == Ray wrote: The Federal Communications Commission, the government agency that regulates the Amateur Radio Service in the United States, has recently ruled that ESSB is not in accordance with good amateur and engineering practice on the crowded HF bands.

Re: [Flexradio] Sampling rate and buffers for CW operators?
I also use 192KHZ and 2048 buffer size. There are a couple of interesting relationships that I have observed. 1. If I use less than 192KHZ sampling rate, I get sharper filters; but, experience latency with using my keyer. The rig appears to key correctly; but, there is a delay between using the paddle and hearing the side tone. To my ears, this drives me crazy and makes the rig tough to use for CW. 2. If I use 192KHZ, my filters are not as sharp and I experience no latency with the keying. It's a real pleasure to use. Even though the filters are not as sharp they are still sharper than my old IC756 PRO III. Thus, I use 192KHZ and 2048 buffer.

Re: [Flexradio] Sampling rate and buffers for CW operators?
I use a compromise between filters and latency: 96khz with 512 buffers. Also some versions of PowerSDR have less latency than others. My branch pioneered the low latency DSP mod. I'm not sure if those changes have made it into the release branch. I think some of them are in the test branch. 73 Ed W2RF -Original Message- From: flexradio-boun...@flex-radio.biz [mailto:flexradio-boun...@flex- radio.biz] On Behalf Of George Allen Sent: Tuesday, May 12, 2009 1:37 PM To: NZ8J; flexradio@flex-radio.biz Subject: Re: [Flexradio] Sampling rate and buffers for CW operators?

[Flexradio] sampling rate and buffers
I 'Prefer' using 192kHz when DXing, lately some wide 'split spreads' have become popular. So on the 'AudioPrimary' tab, I just leave it there. 192kH 2048 Buffer Size and hear no latency when using the paddles or software cw. Funny but I do not hear any audio dropouts even with the high cpu use, but... if running CWSkimmer, which sucks cpu, I will 'SEE' a solid line where dot/dash normally are. It resumes quickly. I'm guessing that's because I have PWSDR on 'High Priority' and CWSkimmer set to a lower Priority. But on weekends, contesting, the cpu load with all the ancillary contesting/log checking can get a tad high. Especially when cluster is getting constant new 'spots'. So I drop down to 96kHz. So my question is: On the DSP tab there is another group of Buffer Settings. Phone RX 4096 TX 2048, CW RX 4096 TX 2048, Digital RX 4096 TX 2048, Wondering if someone can suggest a 'BETTER' choice? I'm mainly a cw/digital op, with occupational hearing loss but I could hear the difference when I had the Flex next to the MP. So I'm open to suggestions. ___ 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://kc.flex-radio.com/ Homepage: http://www.flex-radio.com/

Re: [Flexradio] Sampling rate and buffers for CW operators?
Lee is using the optimal CW settings for filters. The 512 TX setting actually reduces RX latency.

[Flexradio] QST to all Flexers - New PowerSDR look and feel version released for test
To all Flexers, There is a brand new version of PowerSDR, code named Pretty Betty that has been released for testing. This version of PowerSDR utilizes different skins to create multiple visual presentations of PowerSDR. With this new feature, it is possible to create a different look and feel using a series of graphics to represent the different control surfaces on the PowerSDR console. Eric and Beppe (IK3GIV) have been collaborating for a few months now on the logic to present the user definable skins and the graphics to create several very stunning skins. You change the skins using the drop down box in the Setup-Appearance-General menu option. If you have SVN configured, you can download this version using the following URI: svn://206.216.146.154/svn/repos_sdr_windows/PowerSDR/branches/ke5dto/PrettyBetty/bin/Release Just do a SVN checkout using the path above to a folder you create and you will have the new version of PowerSDR downloaded to that folder. For those who are not familiar with SVN code checkouts, here are a few KC articles you can review. http://kc.flex-radio.com/KnowledgebaseArticle50243.aspx http://kc.flex-radio.com/KnowledgebaseArticle50245.aspx Please note, that this version , like all versions in the PowerSDR/branches section of the SVN tree is ALPHA/BETA code and you might find a few things that do not work 100% correctly yet. If you do run across something, PLEASE report it using the Bug Tracker and do not report bug reports to the Reflector. They will get lost in the noise and the problems will not get addressed. You can access the Bug Tracker here: http://support.flex-radio.com/BugList.aspx?it=b This is an early Dayton hamfest present so enjoy. -Tim -- W4TME FlexRadio Systems - Info Management Admin.

Re: [Flexradio] QST to all Flexers - New PowerSDR look and feel version released for test
And you are going to get that too, so you are going to be 100% happy. There are several major DSP efforts underway that are in various stages of development and test. The next released version of PowerSDR will be one of the most performance/feature/graphics packed releases ever. Eric and Bob have been VERY busy and there is a lot to show for it. A really big kudos goes to both of them. -Tim --- W4TME FlexRadio Systems - Info Management Admin.

Re: [Flexradio] examples of 10 new skins
This is more than a treat, this is a psychological revelation to the product. Changing the visual feel from time to time will make the interface with the radio much more pleasing to the user. While that was always possible, it was a challenge. We all get bored with our surroundings and like to rearrange the shack every now and then. The is beautiful stuff and adds great dimension to the SDR software. I love the look and it matches the fine craftsmanship of the radio itself. The Flex series has climbed its way to the top of the market in every way regardless of price. Best of, however, they are affordable. Way to go Flex for going the extra measure.
