Re: [Flexradio] PSDR 2.0.22
What do people think of NR on version 2.0.22? When I turn NR on my rx audio crackles. I the previous version was much better on my PC. I think its a disaster. Any suggestions before I revert back?

Re: [Flexradio] PSDR 2.0.22
I have to use 2048 buffers to stop the crackling. And much more CPU load; and 35% avg. Whereas previous version I could use 512 and have about 18% load nominally. I will give it a go for a night but will revert back. Dave. On 30/03/2011 8:48 PM, Frank Goenninger wrote: Just the opposite here ... NR good in 2.0.22 but bad before.

Re: [Flexradio] PSDR 2.0.22
In SetUp/DSP reduce the Delay setting down towards 20. I have mine at 15 and that seems to be the best for mebut in my location the noise levels change from time to time and band to band. So depending on what I see for levels I will adjust the DELAY accoordingly. I wish there a NR slider button !!

Re: [Flexradio] PSDR 2.0.22 and NR operation
Dave, I think the NR is far more effective r on this version 2.0.22. Along with many other items. If you have audio crackling with the NR, many parameters can effect that. In addition to the settings of sample rate and buffer size for the firewire, try reducing the NR Taps in DSP Options. Also, Buffer Size for RX to 2048, rather than the more aggressive 4096 setting. Reducing the Taps would be the first choice, but then not quite as aggressive NR.Changing the RX buffer to 2048 changes your filter skirts. It is all matter of trade-offs as to what is most important for the current needs and conditions. I change these parameters all the time on the fly as needed, just like changing AGC-T or AF or bandwidth for a particular signal. The improvements for 2.0.22 far outweigh reverting back , in my opinion.

[Flexradio] PSDR 2.0.22, XP skins problem
Hello, I'm running an XP machine with all the latest updates, core2duo, Nvidia graphics accelerator, two screens and so on. screen always looked good on 1.18.5 but now with 2.0.22 I noticed the box outlines are not where they should be (as in the screen shot Tim sent last night.). on my screen the box outlines cut across the middle of some of the buttons and some of the buttons seem to have extra lines in them; nothing like the screen shot from Tim. It looks to me like I have a font setting on my PC that is incorrect causing some sort of graphic overrun or something I'll try and do a screen capture if the issue is not resolved by tonight.

Re: [Flexradio] PSDR 2.0.20 RC2 Button Color
Try this... Changing Skin Button Color in Default Skin 1. Using Windows Explorer, make a new temp folder 2. Then go to C:\users\username\appdata\roaming\Flexradiosystems\powersdr\skins 3. Copy the skin of your choice that has the button color desired to the new folder made above 4. In the NEW folder rename the skin to a name of your choice. Open the “skin” Console 5. Repeat #2 and open the Default skin Console 6. Copy the file Console.png and paste it into your newly named skin’s Console. 7. Go back to the Default skin console as in #5 8. Copy the file picDisplay.png and paste it into your newly named skin’s Console 9. Copy your newly named skin into the PowerSDR skins folder, ie C:\users\username\appdata\roaming\Flexradiosystems\powersdr\skins 10.

Re: [Flexradio] NR/ANF in PSDR 2.0.22
I too have been experimenting with NR. I have decided that there is no silver bullet for NR or NB for that matter. We all have different noise floors and noise content and each day can be different. In my location when a nearby well water pump starts running, the noise floor jumps1 or 2 db and I see spikes that were not present before. Switching to another band it may less or even worse. I also see differences as band propagation conditions changes. I just do not see how single software settings can handle it all. So I tweak the Taps, but mostly I adjust the Delay numbers (down to as low as 15 works great for me) and keep notes on which numbers worked best at that time.

Re: [Flexradio] NR/ANF in PSDR 2.0.22
Ted, Excellent point! The same noise will even act differently on different bands, requiring a different approach (settings) in which to minimize the effect. One very good example here at W5ZN is the difference in how I must handle the same line noise source to the NE on 160 meters as opposed to 50 MHz! 73 Joel W5ZN -Original Message- From: flexradio-boun...@flex-radio.biz [mailto:flexradio-boun...@flex-radio.biz] On Behalf Of Ted Trostle Sent: Wednesday, March 30, 2011 11:44 AM To: John Swink Cc: Flexradio Reflector Subject: Re: [Flexradio] NR/ANF in PSDR 2.0.22 I too have been experimenting with NR.

[Flexradio] Turning Flex-3000 Off/On Remotely
I want to turn my Flex-3000 off and on remotely while I am traveling. To accomplish this, I hope to plug my Alinco 330MV power supply into an internet controlled power switch like the Digital Loggers Inc, (DLI) Web Power Switch III. My Flex-3000 and Palstar AT-Auto are powered directly from the Alinco-330MV power supply. While away, I plan to leave the switch on the Flex-3000 pushed in and the switch on the Palstar AT-Auto selected to the on position. When I turn the Alinco-330MV power supply ON from a remote location via the internet controlled DLI Web Power Switch, the Flex-3000 and Palstar tuner will power on. When I turn the the Alinco-330MV OFF via the internet controlled DLI Web Power Switch, the Flex-3000 and Palstar tuner will turn off. My question is this - can I SAFELY power up and power down my Flex-3000 in this manner? Also, does anyone have a suggestion as to how I can connect or disconnect my outdoor antenna from my system via an internet connection should it appear that electrical storms may occur at my home station? I access my home station remotely via Teamviewer and Skype from a 13 Macbook Pro. I am using PowerSDR 2.0.22 on my Flex-3000 on a dual core Windows 7 computer provided by Neal. Everything works great! Thanks for the advice.

You could use a SPDT coaxial relay wired so that when it was unpowered (from the Alinco) the outdoor antenna lead was disconnected from the radio and perhaps use the other side to ground the radio antenna connector. When it was powered up the relay would energeize and connect the radio. If you also had a surge protection device outdoors where the antenna enters the building (ICE, Polyphaser, etc.) this would offer a fair bit of disconnected protection.

Re: [Flexradio] Turning Flex-3000 Off/On Remotely
Route the antenna through a relay that turns on/off with the Alinco power supply. Let that relay disconnect the antenna from the rig and connect both leads to ground when powered down.

[Flexradio] Tuning step and HRD problems
I just installed PSDR 2.0.22 and Ham Radio Deluxe Release 5.0 Build 2893 (released yesterday). I noted two problems. 1. In PSDR SetupGeneralOptions, I have “Snap Click Tune” checked, but click tuning in the panadapter tunes to 1 HZ, not the value set in “Tune Step.” Mouse wheel tuning does follow Tune Step intervals. 2. With HRD 2893 and PSDR 2.0.22, the old CAT tuning slowness has partially returned. Some tuning changes in PSDR get recognized immediately in HRD, but sometimes there is a delay of 5-6 seconds. Tuning changes made in HRD seem to be reflected in PSDR immediately.

Re: [Flexradio] Tuning step and HRD problems
Ron, I'm using MiniDeluxe to connect PSDR Official 2.0 to HRD logbook and DM780. Both are version 2893 from HRD 5. There is no CAT tuning delay, the snap click tune works FB, and the PTT is instantaneous. As you know, HRD gives some of the same radio control functions as PSDR. Hence, MiniDeluxe was born to cut out the HRD middleman. If you don't need to duplicate the radio controls with both PSDR and HRD, you may save yourself some trouble with the MiniDeluxe route.This forum told me about MiniDeluxe, and I have become a believer.

Re: [Flexradio] 2.0.20 RC2
Gwyn, I recommend that you turn down AGC-T for best signal to noise. This will give you the most satisfactory experience. I never run AGC-T higher than needed to clearly hear the other station without much band noise in the background. 73, Gerald Gerald Youngblood, K5SDR President and CEO FlexRadio Systems(TM) 13091 Pond Springs Road, #250 Austin, TX 78729 Phone: 512-535-4713 Ext. 202 Email: ger...@flexradio.com Web: www.flexradio.com http://www.flex-radio.com/ Tune In Excitement (TM) PowerSDR(TM) is a trademark of FlexRadio Systems On Mon, Mar 28, 2011 at 1:22 PM, Gwyn Williams g4...@btinternet.com wrote: Gerald et al, As you know I use CW exclusively and unlike most people I believe, I use the Flex's monitor/sidetone facility. As I've mentioned, ocassionally the outgoing CW (character dot or dash) will sound truncated. I was most worried that the actual outgoing CW would sound the same, so today I analysed the outgoing audio and found that it was perfect, which makes me much happier. There remains the small discrepancy with the CW in the headphones (monitored) but that is nothing to worry about. Of course the incoming CW is normal. Just thought I'd share this with you.

[Flexradio] 2.0.20 rc2 and 2.0.22
I decided to upgrade the software today in light of the Flex recommendations. Here is what I have found so far after starting with 2.0.22 I could not select any transverter band and then return to HF without total loss of signal. I could only reaquire the rx signals by restarting the radio and software. Finding a post by Al regarding loss of signals on 6 meters after selecting a transverter I decided to downgrade to 2.0.20 rc2. Now this problem has gone away but I find that the 5000 does not retain antenna selections properly more specificaly use RX1 loop on 6 meters to use the preamp and it is applied to all bands. If I unselect it in other HF bands it is no longer checked in 6 meters. Maybe I have forgotten a magic box to click ? I was using 2.0.6 until today and all worked pretty well except image reject etc. All RF routing and antenna selections were AOK. Anyone else having trouble with antenna selections or signal loss on the 5K ??
