How do you have CAT configured with FLDIGI?  RigCat?

Hi Tim,

CAT works fine, it's instant, tune the F3K and fldigi and BandMaster  
keep track of the frequency instantly, the delay seems to be
with the sound getting into fldigi, I've been giving away points in  
the ARRL International DX CW Contest and I am decoding the morse in
my head and replying to the stations and when I finish the QSO fldigi  
is still showing the QSO coming in, it's a long way behind me!
(I'm using my Schurr Profi II twin paddle)

I'm using the VAC settings from the FlexRadio knowledge-base, are  
there any other tweaks I can make to improve the speed of
sound getting into fldigi?
If not, I will try hooking the F3K up to another PC's sound card  
running Ubuntu Linux and run fldigi on it as this is how I have been  
doing it with conventional
radios and the decoding is instant.

Maybe it is fldigi that runs slow under windows?
As I said, this is my first time back on windows for many years and  
so I am not used to how it performs, or doesn't as the case may be ;))

One thing I must add is that the filtering on the F3K is stunning,  
I'm working CW stations that are on top of each other without any  
problems at all,
the 50Hz filter is extremely useful in contest conditions and with  
some fine adjustment of the AGC/AF there is no ringing at all which  
makes it a lot
easier on the ears!

For a few of the stations I've actually narrowed down the filter even  
further from 50hz and I can still read the DX station without any  
problems at all!

For all the little "Foibles" I'm having here at the moment I must  
congratulate the FlexRadio team on producing such a fine piece of HAM  
kit, it's
certainly the best receiver I have ever played with!

Cheers!

Mike.

I've got the VAC buffers set to 512 which is the smallest available

Does the radio appear to go into transmit mode? Could you have the Defeat
PTT checkbox clicked in the General tab of Setup?

Do you hear relays click, etc,? Does PTT jack on the back go to ground when
you click MOX?

Re: [Flexradio] VAC 4.10

2010-02-19 Thread Dave Beumer W0DHB

Mike

I believe you may be able to tweak some buffer sizes to reduce the latency.

The only metric I have is that there has never been any problem in quick
turn Digital qso's in Various contests when I've used Fldigi and DM780  ..
I'll check it out though.

Remember - once you've gone VAC you'll never go back :-)

Hi Ray,

I've downloaded 409 full version and have installed it.
The audio is better and the delay getting the sound to fldigi is not so
great now, however it's still not instant?

Is this normal?
I am used to connecting a PC directly to a conventional radio for sound
input and the CW decoding is instantaneous by comparison.

Thanks.

Re: [Flexradio] why worry about dpc's?

2010-02-19 Thread Brett Gazdzinski


My dpc's are very low, they run around 20 with spikes up to maybe 50.
But when I run normal mode, very low buffers, 190 KHz bandwidth, psdr fails 
if I try to record something and play it back.  That must be to much to ask 
of little buffers.
Safe mode 1 has no issues ever, normal mode with moderate buffer sizes seems 
fine.
If you want to monitor your signal, or do fast break in I suppose, small 
buffers equals low delay.


The old laptop I used to use with the flex 5000 had higher dpc readings, 
2000 I think and would only run in safe mode 1, and the delay was VERY bad. 
Besides the delay, no problems at all, no glitches even with many other 
programs open, in safe mode 1 with bigger buffers.


I think if you do voice and dont monitor yourself, that is fine, if you do

Re: [Flexradio] FlexRadio Digest, Vol 58, Issue 19

2010-02-19 Thread Tim Ellison

I'd send him an e-mail and ask for v4.09.  Tell him v4.10 is worthless and 4.09 
works just fine.  Then when it gets fixed (an assumption on my part), you 
should be able to upgrade.

Hi Tim,

Thanks for the info.

I have just purchased VAC and have version 4.10.0.2537 and have been  
disappointed with it, I thought
it was the settings that I was using, I got them from the Flex  
Knowledge Centre.

I've found there are huge delays getting the sound to fldigi for CW

I'm running it on a 3.4Ghz Quad Core AMD 965 system which is showing

it's not the system under load causing the problem :)

On SSB there is a lot of popping and audio drops outs making it

hopefully a patch fix!

Please keep us informed of progress.

Alternatively, contact the author & see if he won't let you downgrade to VAC
4.9, which works fine.

2010-02-19 Thread Mike Tatum


Hi Dave,

I'm using Windows XP on a Quad Core AMD Phenom II x4 965 AM3 Black  
Edition CPU running at 3.4Ghz with 4GB RAM.
The system load is never above 5% with everything running, PSDR, VAC,  
DDUtil, Fldigi, VOAcap and Band Master.


The audio from VAC is quite poor to say the least, I have been quite  
disappointed with my purchase which I made only 2 days ago :(


I'm hoping for a patch fix ASAP otherwise will be looking for a  
refund ;)


Cheers!

There is a new version of VAC, v4.10 that has been released in the

VAC 4.10 until some of these issues can be rectified.  If you do plan
to test VAC 4.10, please do so with a dummy load until you are  
certain

of the quality of signal you are transmitting.

I have started a correspondence with the VAC developers to help
identify and rectify the significant deficiencies and defects in VAC
4.10 as they pertain to its use with PowerSDR.

One other note to all users.  Please do not post on the reflectors  
the

This brings up a question.  After a system is up and running in Safe Mode 1, 
Sample rate 96kHz and buffer size 1024, what would be the course in incremental 
changes to reduce latency?

Would it be to increase sample rate / decrease buffer size , in Safe Mode 1.  
Then try Normal mode, starting with the larger buffer sizes and slower sample 
rates?

Perhaps you could define long duration. At what DPC duration does the
DPC level start to affect PSDR performance?

[Tim] Somewhere around 1500 us.  Definitely in excess of 2000 us

There really is a lot of misconception about this subject. I actually
had a ham tell me a few days (on the air) that he would never buy a Flex
because he had heard you had to have a new super fast computer with no
latencys. His exact words.

[Tim] This is the misinformation FlexRadio's competitors are spreading in an 
attempt to discredit them, because it is the only thing they can think of to 
attack.  The software model of ever more improvements is a killer.  They busted 
the artificial barrier to price vs. Performance with the FLEX-3000.  Desperate 
people say desperate things.

First time I ever heard that one. When I told him I was running an old
4yr old computer running Vista, I do not think he believed me.

Since the Flex Driver with the DPC checker will tell you to run the
normal mode with anything under 1000us, can I assume that 1000us is just
fine and not considered long duration?

[Tim] In 99% of the cases I have dealt with, anything under 1000 us is OK.  The 
lower the number, the less latency you will hear in the MON when monitoring 
your transmissions.  Also the lower the number the more "headroom" you have to 
absorb a spike if something is compounding the problem.

I also am assuming that the different Safe 1,2,3 modes are for
compensating for DPC  latencys higher than 1000us?

[Tim] Exactly.  The modes "enforce" larger hardware buffers to hold the 
incoming or outgoing samples while the PC is taking a siesta waiting for some 
hardware component to relinquish control of the PC back to the operating system 
(the cause of DPCs).

As long as we are on the Subject, why does the Flex Manual recommend
Safe Mode 1 over normal mode?

[Tim] Because it recommends using initial setting that are conservative to 
ensure that the radio will work without freezing for the lowest common 
denominator of PC configurations.  You start out with conservative settings and 
get more aggressive once you understand the limits of your system and how to 
adjust them for lower internal latency (the listening in the MON or operating 
fast CW, both of which require low internal latency in PowerSDR).

Re: [Flexradio] P55-based motherboard users out there

2010-02-19 Thread Ray - K9DUR

Stan,

I do not believe that you can put a hard, fast number on the threshold where
DPC's will cause problems or not.  Especially since other factors, such as
RFI, enter into the equation as well.   All that can really be done is
define a vague range where below that range is almost undoubtedly safe,
above that range is almost certainly a problem, & within that range is a
crap shoot.  Ask Tim or Neal for approximate numbers defining the range.

Changes & improvements to the software & the firmware come so rapidly that
it is impossible for the documentation to keep up with current practice.
Not to mention improvements in the FireWire driver.

As for setting the driver to Normal vs. Safe Mode 1 -- the FLEX-5000 manual
was written at the time of the release of PowerSDR v1.14.0 & the FLEX-3000
manual with the release of v1.18.0.  There have been many improvements since
v1.18.0 that now allow running the FireWire driver in Normal mode.  The
documentation simply has not caught up with reality yet.  Furthermore, it
never will due to the rapid release of improvements in the software.  When
the documentation is next updated, it will only be in sync with the software
for at most a day or two.  The manual is best used as a reference for normal
day-to-day operation of the radio type functions (changing frequency, using

Re: [Flexradio] P55-based motherboard users out there

2010-02-19 Thread Lazy Senior

Perhaps you could define long duration. At what DPC duration does the 
DPC level start to affect PSDR performance?


There really is a lot of misconception about this subject. I actually 
had a ham tell me a few days (on the air) that he would never buy a Flex 
because he had heard you had to have a new super fast computer with no 
latencys. His exact words.


First time I ever heard that one. When I told him I was running an old 
4yr old computer running Vista, I do not think he believed me.


Since the Flex Driver with the DPC checker will tell you to run the 
normal mode with anything under 1000us, can I assume that 1000us is just 
fine and not considered long duration?


I also am assuming that the different Safe 1,2,3 modes are for 
compensating for DPC  latencys higher than 1000us?
As long as we are on the Subject, why does the Flex Manual recommend 
Safe Mode 1 over normal mode?

No, not a lot. It could go to 1000us and neither the Flexradio or you 
would notice any difference in PSDR performance. PSDR seems very 
tolerant of DPC levels up to 1000us or so.  In fact the Flex driver 
suggests Normal mode for DPC levels at 1000us.

I can not tell the difference between 50us or 1000us in real world PSDR use.

Before I tweaked my computer I was getting 1000us. PSDR ran just fine at 
Safe level 1. Flex Driver said I could run at Normal mode.

After much tweaking, I got the DPC level to 50us. BUT it made absolutely 
NO difference in PSDR operation. At least none that I can tell.

I believe that obsessing over DPC's  drives prospective Flex customers 
away because most Hams do not want to buy a new PC in addition to a radio.

On another subject I just got my 5 yr old Laptop running PSDR. Using the 
internal Firewire port and running Win XP. DPC levels at 25us after I 
disabled Microsoft ACPI compliant Control Method Battery driver which 
was causing DPC levels of 4000us every 5 seconds.

With Win XP and DPC levels of 25us or less, am I blown away by the 
*superior* performance of PSDR.

Of course not. In a blind test I would not be able to tell what is 
running the radio..

Since you bring up the subject of low DPC levels frequently, have you 
ever tested PSDR performance at different DPC levels? Should be easy to 
do..
I would be interested in your results, especially if they are different 
than mine.

Re: [Flexradio] P55-based motherboard users out there

2010-02-19 Thread Neal Campbell

Hi Stan

I hear from customers who say that the ssb monitor is "real time" when the
DPCs are in my range while it gets a bit delayed or garbled when they have
high DPCs. I have one customer who got a system and decided to load it as
much as he could with his 3000 (96KHz, 256 buffer, a lot of other programs
going on, streaming video, etc) and while the DPCs shot up the only artifact
he saw was a delay in the ssb monitor (I hope I am reporting this correctly)

Again, if your system is marginal (you are getting gaps or PSDR is turning
itself off) these tweaks could very well move the performance level down to
a point where you are happy with the system. If you area already happy with
the system, the tweaks do not hurt but they may not help.

This is not a DPC "arms race", its is meant to help people stay with their
computer if they are not getting the performance they expected from their
computer.

Re: [Flexradio] CW using DM780

I did verify using the PowerSDR CAT command test feature that KS/KY do work

Hi Paul

I thought I had read somewhere that MCW was not allowed (at least in the
US).

According to the DM780 documentation you should be able to send KS/KY CAT
commands to PowerSDR to generate CW.
KS sets the speed and KY sends an ascii  string to be sent via CWX.

DM780 CW setup is somewhat vague about how to set up to send KS/KY .
I'm not sure if DM780 is sending the commands or if PowerSDR is ignoring
them.

I've seen a few write-ups about PowerSDR and N1MM communicating CW this way.

Another thing that would be nice is if PowerSDR had a Comm port definition
for CW keying like it does for PTT . This would eliminate the need for a
physical cable.

I push on...

  in DM78o you should be able to use MCW stands for modulated CW ie the

I will have a look and see if you can use the CW generator in the flex.

[Flexradio] P55-based motherboard users out there

2010-02-19 Thread Neal Campbell

This might apply to other than Intel Processor motherboards that use the P55
chipset but this one thing I know:

You remember that when you get your computer for your flex radio you should
hit the Del key (or F1 in some cases) to get into your computer's BIOS
settings and disable Speedstep (which is reversely named since it decides to
slow down your processor when it thinks you are not using it very much, so
it should be called Slowstep), This is a power-saving technology and you
cannot blame people for wanting it but for Flex Radios I am afraid it can
cause unpredictable behavior.

There is a new setting that also has a dramatic effect on your DPC levels in
the latest P7P55D motherboard I use, called C-state. Both Speedstep and
C-state are under the CPU settings category. C-states are used to detect
when to go to sleep and when to wake up (your computer, not you!). I have
found with C-state enabled, it can make your DPCs jump 50+ us. No, not a lot
but its a huge percentage when you get 0-15 under XP! Disable it also.

In a similar vein (and something that desktop users wouldn't normally think
to do), look at the Power control item in your control panel. If there is a
power scheme for Performance, select it. If you do not, just make sure that
the timer for allowing your disks to power down is set to 0 (or something
large like 4 hours).

There is one serious stand out that fits your needs.  DXLabs is written by one 
of the finest programmers around.

Dave has taken this task of providing quality software in for years.  He 
natively supports flex radio cat.  I have used no other for a decade at home.

it is a huge suite, doing much more than logging.  I use SpotCollector, 
pathview, integrated with dxatlas cwskimmer and in and on.

Best yet?  He does it as a service to ham radio.  Try it first.

2010-02-19 Thread Ray - K9DUR

Gwyn,

Asking which logging program you like is the same as asking what make of
automobile is best.  Everyone will give you a different answer.

All of the logging programs have their strengths as well as their
weaknesses.

That being said, here is my 2 pence worth.

I use 2 different logging programs.  While operating, I use N1MM Logger.
Yes, it is a contesting program, but the same features that make it the best
contest logging software also make general operating with PowerSDR a dream.
N1MM does not have any award tracking, QSL, tracking, etc. features.  So, I
use VQLog by EA6VQ, for my general logging requirements.  After an operating
session, I simply export an ADIF file from N1MM which I then import into
VQLog.

N1MM also works directly with MMTTY & FLDIGI for seamlessly integrated RTTY
and digital modes operation.

N1mm Logger -- http://www.n1mm.com -- Free with monthly (or more) updates
available.
VQLog -- http://www.vqlog.com -- 20 Euros ($30 US) for 2-yr upgrade/support
license
