[Flexradio] (no subject)

[Joseph White]

I am looking for someone that has set up MMTTY and running it on the FLEX.
I understand that the latest version will work.  It has been over 5 years
since I used MMTTY and would like to use it again.  Also I would be
interested in what most folks are using for RTTY with the Flex.  Since we
just had a big contest on RTTY, it should be fresh on the FLEX and RTTY
operators.  I have a logging program that I am satisfied with and really do
not want to change it.

 

Thanks for any input.

 

You can contact me offline direct at ke...@arrl.net or of course on the
reflector.

 

Joseph - KE4TV

Re: [Flexradio] VFO B with mouse wheel?

[Michael Jones]

Hello Dave,

I just gave this a try and it does not work that way. It still only changes
VFO A. This is with 
1.19.1 SVN 3391

Just tried Pretty Betty 1.19.0 SVN 3393 and it also does not change VFO B -
just A



Best Regards,
Michael Jones W0STB

Michael,

If you place the mouse cursor in the second receiver panadapter window
when the focus is on the SDR the scroll wheel will tune that receiver.

As near as I can tell by experimenting is when in multiRX mode the mouse
wheel moves VFO A, and moves the

Panadapter display, but VFO B actually stays put and does not move.

I'm wondering if holding down a special key while working the scroll wheel
is the secret?

Ah, you need to change the lower ("Min:") and upper ("Max:") bound on
the pan display to change the range, not the step size. Step size only
changes the grid scale. I normally have the lower bound set at about
-130dBm depending on the noise level in the band. On 40m I normally
run with a lower bound of -120dBm. I set the upper bound to -40dBm.
That spreads the signals out vertically. There just aren't many
signals that can hit -40dBm.

Re: [Flexradio] Various things...

[Jerry Flanders]

I operate RTTY primarily. I can distinctly see both the mark and 
space tones cleanly separated on the panadaptor, and they are only 
170 Hz apart. I routinely click on the panadaptor to tune rtty 
signals and rarely have to tune more than 40 Hz with the mouse wheel 
to fine-tune after the "rough" click-tune.


I suspect you are seeing an extremely wide bandwidth on the 
panadaptor, and that is preventing you from seeing fine detail. I 
routinely watch a 25 - 30 KHz segment to get the above hi-rez performance.


I have used panadaptors on my radios since the early '70's when Heath 
offered the first one for hams.  I have never seen as good a 
panadaptor as PowerSDR provides, and that includes 756PRO3s that I 
formerly used here. I couldn't even tell if a signal was RTTY or CW 
on the 756PRO3 while watching the same 25KHz band segment.

Brett,

You have to be kidding..   Right?  I can view a AM signal, even 
tell the audio response on each sideband,  exactly if I move the 
cursor over the signal and read the frequency response in the 
lower left of the panadapter.

You can monitor your AM signal in the Flex 5000 with the RX2 option,
view it in the lower panadapter.
I will tell you that the panadapter does take a lot of CPU to 
display,  so if you are having to slow the display refresh down, 
this will cause the display to be less reactive.

[Flexradio] VFO B with mouse wheel?

[Michael Jones]

Helo all,

 

Is there any way to control which VFO gets tuned by the mouse wheel when in
MultiRX mode?

As near as I can tell by experimenting is when in multiRX mode the mouse
wheel moves VFO A, and moves the

Panadapter display, but VFO B actually stays put and does not move.

I'm wondering if holding down a special key while working the scroll wheel
is the secret?

 

Best Regards,

Michael Jones W0STB

[Flexradio] Victory!!! I think.....

[Dave Gomberg]

After a multi-month struggle involving hundreds of $$$ in ferrites, 
rewiring, etc.  I MAY have licked my RFI problem.


My headset is set up like this:

Yamaha CM500  headset   phones  <<-   F3K front panel
mic
 V
mic electret power supply
 V
1/8" phone jack
 V
RJ-45 jack
 V
RJ-45 cable
 V   ferrite here
RJ-4 on F3K front panel

The symptom was most clearly heard as  something between IM 
distortion and a very high level of near-white noise on MON during 
transmit.   The amount of interference was pretty well proportional 
to radiated power (high SWR reduced the interference for a given 
output level), so I figured something the antenna was radiating was 
getting in somewhere.   The most natural low-level (and therefore 
sensitive) spot was the mic input.   Finally in desperation, I 
unplugged the mic power supply from the 1/8" jack, and the noise 
miraculously vanished.   It was coming in thru the mic cable (which 
already had one ferrite on it).   Also the wiring connecting the 1/8" 
phone jack was unsoldered and so spark-prone at best.


So I soldered the jack, adding about 1' of leads in the process.   I 
then installed a three turn ferrite on the jack leads and another 
ferrite on the RJ-45 cable.   Voila!   At least for now, stay 
tuned.   What would you all think about adding some serious 
chokes on the audio feed line?   Do they really belong inside the F3K case???

Re: [Flexradio] Various things...

[n3evl]

Very curious...I think for most PowerSDR users (I have the SDR-1000 and 
HPSDR kit) the resolution available via the panadapter is a joy to 
behold.  Never had a problem differentiating different types of sigs - 
AM, SSB, FM, RTTY, etc via their appearance on the display.  Something 
must not be configured right or the PC/Graphics combo is not up to the 
task.  Even on my old Pentium 4 with poor mobo graphics I never had 
resolution problems.  It would be interesting if you could post a 
screenshot somewhere for comparison purposes.

I have this *EXACT* same set of spurs. They come from my Linksys
26-port VLAN gig-E Ethernet Switch. It appears to be noise radiated by
the power supply since it is independent of any of the ethernet cables
being plugged in. Since they do not impinge on frequencies that I
frequent (sorry, pun intended) I ignore them after determining their
cause.

Yes,  should had said a high pass filter.  . 



this is the filter  used, which does eliminate the electric fence RFI.

The Model 402X.    Cuts off below 1.8 Mhz. Intended for BCI.

Just a little clarification John  did you mean a high pass filter in the 
RX line?? I can't understand how a low pass might work, perhaps I missed 
something!! I'm not familiar with these dog systems!! 

I also have noise problems at a remote site but from a huge UPS system 
running at a few hundred Khz with sidebands up to 40m!! Not sure if it will 
be possible to filter these out!!

Re: [Flexradio] ...odd signals...

[herbert3]

Yes, indeed, these "odd signals!"   But I was fortunate enough to have 
a retired power company maintenance surpervisor visit the shack.  I 
showed him the mess on the panadapter and he asked to be allowed to 
"hear it."
He then immediately said, "yes, that's an MOV or insulator or maybe 
both and I don't think they are very far from you!"   Another call to 
the engineering dept. of the power company and a few days later a 
strange tracked bucket device managed to get down my ravine and then 
the "noise" disappeared, never to return I hope) since it had pretty 
much prevented HF operation!.   If you send me an image of what you are 
dealing with I will compare to my problem.

Lee

Quoting Tim Ellison :
A, the double edge sword of the Panadapter.  It is the best and 
worst thing
about PowerSDR. 

No need to repeat the accolades of the Panadapter, they are well know 
to all. The cutting side of the sword is that most people never had a 
really sensitive

RF spectrum analyzer masquerading as a HF transceiver before, go you never
really could "see" all the RF garbage inundating your operating position. 


One thing to remember is that because you can now see it, doesn't necessarily
mean it is a bad thing.  Look at the actual strength of the signals 
in question. 
 Something that is -100 dB in strength isn't really something to lose 
a lot of
sleep over.  I will admit the mystery signals are a lot of fun to observe. 


In an upcoming release of the software, if you have an FLEX-5000+RX2 and two
diverse antennas, you will be able to null those "old friend" signals using a
diversity reception technique that subtracts the phase and gain of 
the offending
signal in the RX passband.

[Flexradio] microHAM microKEYER II

[Frank Karnauskas N1UW]

Greetings, Flexers:

I have a microHAM microKEYER II interface sitting unused next to my MARK V.

Is anyone out there using one with their FLEX 5K?

I notice their web site lists a cable for interfacing the unit to the 5K, so
at least one person must have asked for it and tried it.

I am beginning to think that using two low cost computers...one of Neal's
mission-specific boxes to run SDR and one I have sitting around here for
logging, DX cluster, digital modes, etc...has a lot of appeal.  Not the
least of which is having to deal with changing focus with the keyboard and
mouse when jumping between programs.

Thoughts?  Real experience with this?

to broadband noise in the HF spectrum.  Motorola does make a system  
that works and is quiet, but I am not sure when and where it is or has  
been implemented.


Search the ARRL website for more information.  We have it in Nelson  
County, VA, and my HF mobile is almost useless when traveling through  
the county.  There was a system in Northern VA that was essentially  
shut down due to interference problems.


Since you have cable service that probably provides broadband  
internet, BPOL probably isn't the culprit, but worth looking into to  
see if your local power company and county are trying an experimental  
system.

Re: [Flexradio] ...odd signals...

[Tim Ellison]

A, the double edge sword of the Panadapter.  It is the best and worst thing 
about PowerSDR.

No need to repeat the accolades of the Panadapter, they are well know to all.  
The cutting side of the sword is that most people never had a really sensitive 
RF spectrum analyzer masquerading as a HF transceiver before, go you never 
really could "see" all the RF garbage inundating your operating position.

One thing to remember is that because you can now see it, doesn't necessarily 
mean it is a bad thing.  Look at the actual strength of the signals in 
question.  Something that is -100 dB in strength isn't really something to lose 
a lot of sleep over.  I will admit the mystery signals are a lot of fun to 
observe.

In an upcoming release of the software, if you have an FLEX-5000+RX2 and two 
diverse antennas, you will be able to null those "old friend" signals using a 
diversity reception technique that subtracts the phase and gain of the 
offending signal in the RX passband.

[Flexradio] LinkSys routers...new lamps for old?

[John Ragle]

   The suggestion that this QRM comes from a LinkSys router has been 
made before on the reflector, leading me to load up /our/ LinkSys router 
with ferrite cores and then finally to turn it off, risking a quick 
death from my XYL who is a software developer and spends much of her 
time on line. This did not cure the problem. Going from house to house 
asking my neighbors about their routers conjures up amusing 
possibilities...and I suspect that most of the nearby on-line people are 
using LinkSys equipment, as it it what Staples and other local stores 
vend. /Sick transmit glorious mundane/.

Re: [Flexradio] odd panadapter display on 80m

[Jim]

It must be an actual signal. Disconnecting the antenna removes the signal.
And I notice that I can now shift the signal into the passband.

Someone/something is generating the odd signal.
Thanks,
Jim

[Flexradio] odd panadapter display on 80m

[Jim]

An odd display started yesterday on my panadapter as follows:

 

A swept signal appears on either side of the center red line of the
panadapter. If I move to a different frequency the swept signal does not
move on the screen and I can never cause the swept signal to be in the green
band pass area. As mentioned this signal has a mirrored image of the signal
on the left side, on the right side of the center red line of the
panadapter.

 

The signal is only present on 80m.

 

What's up do you think?

Flex 5000a, pwrsdr 18.2

I've just fresh-installed 1.18.3 for use with a SoftRock. I too noticed

but I don't have any hard numbers for comparison.

[Flexradio] 1.18.3 Noise ?

[Ian Wade G3NRW]

From: Dan Scott 
Date: Wed, 30 Sep 2009   Time: 15:14:15

When connected to an antenna, the Noise Floor of v1.18.3 is always 2db 
to 3db higher than that of v1.18.2.  Also another radio was used to 
verify if the higher noise floor was just a metering difference or a if 
1.18.3 was imposing additional noise.  The result is the FT-100 could 
receive SSB, CW, and digital which the SDR1000 with 18.2.3 covered up 
with noise. With 1.18.2 the SDR-1000 easily out received the FT-100.




I've just fresh-installed 1.18.3 for use with a SoftRock. I too noticed 
what seemed to be a higher noise floor than I'd previously experienced, 
but I don't have any hard numbers for comparison.


Where can I find 1.18.2?
