[Flexradio] Database Info
As I live in Region 1 the default database gives incorrect band information. I've modified the bands in line with UK allocations but although I get the correct band name, and out of band (and transmit disabled) shown correctly for the appropriate frequencies, the red line signifying the band edges remains at the Region 2 band edges. Hunting through the database I see no way to change this. Is it possible. -- Brian Duffell G3VGZ ___ 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.flexradio.com/ Homepage: http://www.flexradio.com/
[Flexradio] Flex500C remote questions
A friend of mine will be undergoing heart surgery soon and he has asked me to setup his Flex5000C (built in computer) for remote control during his convalesence. I am not very familiar with the 5000C The current setup is as follows: Incoming Fixed IP service=>Linksys 8 port router==>Serial device server==>Green Heron RT20 rotor controller Flex 5000C Icom 7800==>Icom IC1KL amplifier===>CT17 level converter ==>Three (3) SteppIR controller We are removing the 7800 from the system [ He likes the 5000C much better :-) ] Here are my questions: 1). What is the most reliable way to run the 5000C remotely from his "outside the shack" laptop? 2). Can the incoming CW and SSB enter, and the outgoing audio leave, the 5000C directly through it's LAN connection to/from the router, or must these be done only through the front-panel Mic, Key, and Headphone connectors? 3). What is recommended for the SSB link to/from? Skype on both the 5000C computer and laptop, IPSond, other? 4). What is recommended for CW to/from? 5). Can the 5000C directly connect to the CT17 so that the IC1KL and SteppIR controllers follow the frequency? 6). Can the 5000C software directly control the RT20, or should I leave it on it's SDS run by PST rotor? 7). What have I not asked? 73, Scott W3TX === Email scanned by PC Tools - No viruses or spyware found.

[Flexradio] DICE(y) problem?
Wow...did we get off the topic on this one! 90% of the replies were of absolutely NO VALUE in helping me resolve the problem. In future, maybe you all can start a NEW TOPIC when getting so far off track? The only useful advice I got was to run the driver using administrator, which I did, and it did allow me to see the DPC. However, it seems that the RICOH-based firewire will not work with the PowerSDR 2... I tried as many combinations of buffer/etc as I could...and managed to get the system to work...for 3-seconds... then it hung up again... I have reverted back to my old Toshiba with TI-based firewire that WORKS... The Toshiba has some keypads missing, but at least it works! ___ 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.flexradio.com/ Homepage: http://www.flexradio.com/
Re: [Flexradio] DICE(y) problem?
Sri! I think Ricoh and NEC are the same chip so its definitely not going to work with the flex! Truly, TI is the best and safest course. 73 Neal Campbell Abroham Neal Software www.abrohamnealsoftware.com (540) 645 5394 On Tue, Oct 19, 2010 at 9:32 PM, Eddie DeYoung wrote: > Wow...did we get off the topic on this one! > > 90% of the replies were of absolutely NO VALUE in helping me > resolve the problem. > > In future, maybe you all can start a NEW TOPIC when getting so far > off track? > > The only useful advice I got was to run the driver using > administrator, which I did, and it did allow me to see the DPC. > > However, it seems that the RICOH-based firewire will not work with > the PowerSDR 2... > > I tried as many combinations of buffer/etc as I could...and > managed to get the system to work...for 3-seconds... then it hung > up again... > > I have reverted back to my old Toshiba with TI-based firewire that > WORKS... > > The Toshiba has some keypads missing, but at least it works! > > ___ > 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.flexradio.com/ Homepage: > http://www.flexradio.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://kc.flexradio.com/ Homepage: http://www.flexradio.com/
[Flexradio] Question about remote operation
Trying to run SDR and view the panadapter over the internet is quickly becoming a non-starter. Very graphics intensive. So, how are folks out there controlling their Flex 3000 radios? Ham Radio Deluxe? But it then becomes just another remote controlled legacy HF rig, right? How do I control the filters, etc? Or am I missing something simple?

Re: [Flexradio] Question about remote operation
Hi Mark: FWIW, I use my 3000 exclusively remotely since I can't deploy antennas at the home condo. You're quite right that the panadaptor and other data rich display modes can be a real bandwidth hog. As a benchmark, using VNC for remote desktop access, the panadaptor eats up ~200-300kbps of outbound network bandwidth all the time, (PSDR display refresh at 30fps). I prefer to use Radmin at home, which provides a very nice looking display but at the cost of even more bandwidth, up to 1mbps depending on the refresh rate. You can slow down the refresh rate and reduce the bandwidth, but you pay for it with a jerky display. You might try the NetPerSec utility on your machine to monitor the bps network data flow in real time in and out so you can gauge how things move around when working remotely. Can be a real eye opener. I'm fortunate in that my radio is located at the end of some bonded T's at the office with lots of guaranteed outbound bandwidth and almost no other traffic on it at night & weekends, so it's not a problem for me while operating from home. When I'm traveling with my laptop I usually use VNC and Skype, for a typical total incoming bandwidth of ~300kbps. Most hotel web service seems to handle this ok, but in some bad places where audio breakup occurs I'll disable the panadaptor display and 'rough it' with just the S meter and freq display. No need for HRD to control the radio unless it does something else you want.
