The main thing it to think of the PC *and* the SDR hardware as one radio
system; not two separate components.  You must ground both to a single point
ground with a low impedance, non-resonant RF ground to earth if you use
unbalanced antennas and/or operate in the near field of the antenna.

I experienced the same thing this weekend in a portable situation during
Field Day (note I am an 8 day newbie, so no expert).

 From home, with a good ground system and resonant ant, no problem.  
But, out in the park for Field Day, with the only a 3ft rebar driven into
the ground for a ground, and a G5RV ant (notoriously has RF on the outside
of the coax), I experienced what you describe.  It is RF getting back into
the mic circuit, possibly the firewire cable (USB) and/or computer as well.
Key down, don't say much, or talk very softly, power is low and no problem.
Start talking where you really start pushing out the power, and it gets back
and becomes self-sustaining.  The equalizer and compander seemed to make it
worse, I think because it pushes up the mod a  bit.

I could be wrong, but a good station RF ground seems to be important. 
Since there are those cables between the computer, that also introduces
another RF path that needs to be controlled.  I see in the Knowledge Base a
few entries concerning how to put in RF chokes and such on mic lines.

Re: [Flexradio] Strange phenomenon on transmit audio

[Tim Ellison]

You are probably over driving the radio.  Set the TX meter to ALC and set the 
mic gain so that you never exceed -3 dB on peaks.  Do not use the MIC meter to 
set your levels as it is at the beginning of the TX audio chain and the ALC is 
at the end.

[Flexradio] Flex-1500 initial set-up

[k9foh]

I now have ASIO running and it sounds even better than Windows WDM-KS. Don't 
know what I changed, and Tim did advise that the audio drivers are still a work 
in progress. Having previously used the SDR-1000, Genesis G40 & G3020, G59 
(currently), and the Lazy Dog LD-1A (currently), the Flex-1500 has been the 
easiest set-up and the best one to operate. VOX is still not working but PTT is 
fine. Cheers, Bob, k9foh.

[Flexradio] Problems installing PSDR v1.18.6

[lro...@sbcglobal.net]

Hi All,

I'm attempting to re-install the above on my F3K after a bad bout with 
v2.0 beta. I've downloaded v1.18.6 from the Flex website and when I run 
the setup procedure the only options I have for installing are Flex 
5000, SDR 1000 Soft Rock 40 & Demo mode. There is no option for the Flex 
3000.


Can someone please give me some guidance here.

TIA,

Lou - W6UR

think they're 19" or so..there is very little rf hash from it...NICE...
of course bigger IS better, but man the price doubles, or more...

Re: [Flexradio] Monitors

[Michael Tondee]

I use the HP 22 inch LCD monitor that came with my PC and a 15 inch flat 
panel monitor with the name brand of SYS. It was bought several years 
ago for my wife's old PC back when the flat panels were first coming 
out. I find the 15 inch monitor is plenty big enough to display my 
PowerSDR screen and I use the larger monitor for my log, digital 
software and everything else. I must have lucked up because I have moved 
the PowerSDR screen between monitors while alternately powering each on 
and off and I can really see nothing in the panadapter  to be worried 
about. I actually like my PowerSDR panel on the more square 15 inch 
monitor rather than on the larger wider HP monitor.

[Flexradio] Warnings with Multiband antennas on Field Day

[John Vandenberg]

Here is my FD experience:
Had prepared a muti-fan dipole antenna (paralled dipoles with single 
feedline) for 40-20-15-10-6m and tested it at home suscesfully with the 
F5Ka.


Problems on Field Day:
Since we were A4 (4 HF stations) we had other stations nearby.  I 
experienced a lot of baseline-noice pumping (abt.20-25DB) due to overload 
from the 40m phone station. (we shared the same tree (on one side) as a 
ty-point for our antennas. The antennas were on right angles.  However I had 
expected this and figured I could just get on another band away from the 
40m.  However I had the same baseline pumping on 20-15-10 and 6 meters. As 
it turned out I could not work any band.


After a lot of head scratching I figured out the problem.  Since all the 
fanned dipoles share the same feedline, the 40m overload on the front end 
was still present at the antenna terminals of the F5Ka no matter what band I 
operated including 6m. So the solution was to dump the Fanned Dipole.


I  replaced the the multi band antenna with a single band 20m dipole and had 
no more overload problems.  I started to work PSK31 low in the band and had 
no problems, even that a 20m phone stations was transmitting nearby (same 
tree shared) about 180KHz higher in frequency.  However the joy was only one 
sided.  It did not take long before the owner of the Icom 756 Pro-III ( the 
20m phone station) came over to complain about interference. He now 
experienced the baseline pumping on his rig.


Since he ran 100W on transmit and I was doing 75W I concluded that that the 
Flex 5K had a superior front end.


Anyone having any specs on these rigs for dynamic range to back this up?

Moral of the story:
  Do NOT use a multi band antenna on FD unless you are  working by yourself 
far away from other transmitting stations!

Re: [Flexradio] Monitors

[Tim Ellison]

Go to Best Buy (or equivalent big box store) and reset all the monitors on 
display to the factory defaults and look at all of them at a distance of thee 
feet straight on.  Don't get the brightest one, but the one that is the 
clearest and has the most accurate color representation. 

If it doesn't work in the shack, then take it back and get another one.

BTW, I am using a LG and it works fine.

Re: [Flexradio] Monitors

[Neal Campbell]

I sell ASUS 24" monitors as an option with my computers, they are cheap and
ASUS knows how to get the display right (look at their laptops sometime).
You can get them just as cheaply from Newegg as from me (since I just order
them and have them shipped to your address!).

I like my Hanns G 28" screens a lot and very cheap. Its a hunk of desk space
however.

But, the bottom line is its almost impossible to by a bad LCD monitor. I
would be a bit cautious about using TV sets, even though the screen is
large, their resolution is kinda funky (unless you want a BIG DISPLAY at
1333 x 800).

Totally agree on the ASUS brand, I just kitted the wife out with a pair of 19's 
and a Planar dual stand for $350 all in from NewEgg.
She is more than happy.  The image quality is superb.

Re: [Flexradio] Warnings with Multiband antennas on Field Day

[Bill Bordy, NJ1H]

Our club FD operation, N1FD, always runs many stations, only 11A this 
year ;^). We have switchable passive bandpass filters for each station 
so they can filter out all but the band they are working. That may have 
helped with your multi-band antenna.

I thought the good ones were 1080p (1920x1080). I just got a cheap 24" 1080p
monitor from Geeks.com for about $170. I can fit both PowerSDR and fldigi in
there side-by-side.

Re: [Flexradio] Monitors

[Neal Campbell]

I actually only have experience with the ones that don't work when my
computers arrive so it could be a skewed sample for sure. BUT, I haven't had
a call from a TV set user who was running a "traditional" resolution. That
might explain a lot.

Re: [Flexradio] Monitors

[Steven Hess]

I am running a Samsung  SyncMaster P2570 HD "TV" and a Samsung 
SyncMaster 204t dual monitor set up. It's a 24.6 inch set to 1920X1080. 
The 20.1 inch SyncMaster is set to 1600X1200 and rotated to portrait. 
PowerSDR runs on the smaller display.  I have a KVM and can change focus 
to a different computer and still see PowerSDR in the smaller monitor 
and control it via a trackball mouse without changing KVM focus. If you 
have RF in the shack you run the risk of turning off the P2570HD. I had 
some RF off a 30 meter antenna on a second rig running WSPR in my shack 
and the monitor would shut off randomly until I solved that issue.

Re: [Flexradio] Monitors

[Neal Campbell]

Steven, are you using DVI or HDMI?

It would be interesting to see if there is a RF intrusion difference between
the 2. I have moved completely to HDMI on my monitors, it looks so pretty!

I think KVMs are a difficult topic in this however. So many issues come from
having 2 video cables and a switch in the path from computer to monitor,
especially in debugging any issues.

I would recommend everyone to get the basic connections down (1 cable, 1
monitor, 1 computer) and working before trying video switching.

Re: [Flexradio] Monitors

[Steven Hess]

DVI this is a OLD KVM so I really didn't have a choice of connections. 
Where the RF was getting didn't seem to be related to the connections 
between the KVM and Monitor. It would shut down watching a DVD via the 
HDMI connection.

Steven, are you using DVI or HDMI?

It would be interesting to see if there is a RF intrusion difference 
between the 2. I have moved completely to HDMI on my monitors, it 
looks so pretty!


I think KVMs are a difficult topic in this however. So many issues 
come from having 2 video cables and a switch in the path from computer 
to monitor, especially in debugging any issues.


I would recommend everyone to get the basic connections down (1 cable, 
1 monitor, 1 computer) and working before trying video switching.

+1 on the Hans G 28". I own several and fussy as I am, I likes 'em.

Note the back panel has HDMI only, (!) so look at your video card 
beforehand. You *can* use a DVI->HDMI cable, but at least with my units 
power management and auto on/off only works correctly with the HDMI cable.


Also, if you're running an older video card (or newer cheapie) make sure 
it'll deliver 1920x1200 over HDMI. Most midrange and above cards made in 
the last year or two will, but it doesn't hurt to check.

I like my Hanns G 28" screens a lot and very cheap. Its a hunk of desk space
however.

But, the bottom line is its almost impossible to by a bad LCD monitor. I
would be a bit cautious about using TV sets, even though the screen is
large, their resolution is kinda funky (unless you want a BIG DISPLAY at
1333 x 800).

I use a couple ASUS VK266H monitors in DVI mode and they are fantastic. 
Bought them at NewEgg.  Shack pic is on Eham or QRZ

I actually only have experience with the ones that don't work when my
computers arrive so it could be a skewed sample for sure. BUT, I haven't 
had

a call from a TV set user who was running a "traditional" resolution. That
might explain a lot.

I thought the good ones were 1080p (1920x1080). I just got a cheap 24"
1080p monitor from Geeks.com for about $170. I can fit both PowerSDR and
fldigi in there side-by-side.

I have a 23" wide-screen LG that they sent me as a warranty replacement 
for a 19" 4:3. I use the DVI connection.
