[Flexradio] Flex 1500 with version 2.0.22 TX/RX audio issue

[Dennis Deaton]

Flex 1500 with i5 Intel 64 bit win7 6gb ram.
Everything went well on the upgrade from 2.0.20 to 2.022 till the audio on TX 
and RX went to crap after about 2 minutes. A reboot of radio and software and 
or computer would not solve it. It would start ok then flake out. I changed the 
audio buffer to 2048 from 1024 and the problem seems to be rectified at this 
point. I talked on phone for about 45 minutes with no problems in operation.  
After resetting it to 1024 and restarting the system it took a few minutes then 
audio flaked out again. So, back to 2048. Anyone with any ideas???
I used 1024  for audio buffer size on all other versions of the software with 
great results till now. Otherwise everything else is great and functionally 
this is the best so far!!
If it ain’t broke, we aren’t having any fun yet!!!

[Flexradio] Antenna switch

[Richard Allen]

I use a coaxial relay with the de-energized side going to a dummy load and the 
other to multiband hf antenna. The relay is powered by a wall wart that is 
plugged into one of the sockets on my Ethernet power controller. 

I live near Houston and my remote station is 50 miles west of Fort Worth. I  
check for thunderstorm activity on the Internet before activating the remote 
antenna. Works great.

[Flexradio] Hello and Quick Question

[Gedas]

Wanted to say hello to the group and ask a simple question.  I will soon (am 
hoping) to be a proud owner of a F5K with VHF module.  While waiting I want 
to make sure my pc is setup correctly.  I remember reading someplace which 
1394 chipsets are known to work well with these SDR but for some reason I 
cannot seem to find that info.  I have looked in the knowledge base section 
under 1394 but I must be missing it.  My current PC uses a TI chipset that 
claims OHCI compliancy.  I am hoping this is a good thing. TIA.

Re: [Flexradio] Announcing PowerSDR v2.0 Official Release

[Dennis Petrich]

Well, the install from 1.18.5 to 2.0.22 went as easy as you-all said it
would. My 5000A is sounding better then ever especially after I realized I
had the font size set to large instead of normal  Now the screens all
look just great

My congratulations to all the fine people at Flex for your hard work on this
latest major update!!

Sincerely,

Dennis, k0eoo

Re: [Flexradio] VoiceKeyer v4.0.0

[Mack McCormick]

Ray,

I did some quick testing of your latest voice keyer tonight and it worked
great with my Flex 5000A running on Win 7 x64. Thank you and job well done!

Will you please elaborate on how to use a hardware trigger? My specific
question is if there is a way to trigger your keyer WITHOUT the program
having focus? The specific application I'd like to be able to trigger from
is N1MM.

Re: [Flexradio] VoiceKeyer v4.0.0

[Don]

Ray

I have never used your voice key before so I'm not sure if it is me or what.
Anyway I am using Win 7 -64.
Hardware setup is (voice keyer):
Sound Card Used : VAC line 1 - Input to PowerSDR as set on VAC setup screen 
in PowerSDR.

Sound Card - messages : Primary Sound Driver
Volume : Slider on High but window reads 0 ?
PTT: Com7 DTR, RTS checked
Repeat message : not checked
Keyboard : Enabled
Hardware/Serial Trigger : None

Simple message was saved using the "recorder" and plays back on my system 
ok.


When I key the message I get a "Unhandled exception" message.
The F-3000 does key but no audio etc...

[Flexradio] PSDR 2.0.22 s-m-o-o-t-h

[Lowell White]

Thanks to the crew at Flex-Radio for a smooth upgrade!

I've installed PSDR 2.0.22 on both a Win7 box and an XP Pro box and have run a
1500 on each. 

On the XP Pro box the 1500 is joined with a 2M-10M transverter (on the XVTR
common port) as well as an HF antenna on the main antenna port. Auto-switching
of ports is working happily with band changes. 

Nice.

Thanks for the fabulous upgrade. I'd previously run 3 of the RC's prior to
2.20 going golden.

Re: [Flexradio] loss of HF signals after transverter selected 2.0.22

stopping the program and cycling the power on the 5000 brings HF RX 
back and then one switch to the transverters and all is lost.
  I am using DDUTIL to switch the relays on a UCB boarad and I can 
hear them working and also get signals from the transverters but 
when I come back to HF all is lost.


Running XP SP3

  All of this system worked fine until the upgrade from 2.0.6 
yesterday... now you see why I waited so long.  I guess I should 
have held out until FM  was fixed before starting this procedure.


  Anyone else running multiple xverters having a loss of signals on 
HF after going to an assigned band button?


After uninstalling my firewire driver and reinstalling .22 from 
scratch and getting it running, I started putting in all my usual 
settings, including for my 2 meter transverter. Got it all set up, 
tuned around, and then went to go back to 75 meters to listen to a 
conversation I had been enjoying and  nada. It was as if the 
antenna were disconnected.


I tried changing the antenna settings in the antenna menu, tried 
expert vs simple mode, tried stopping and starting PowerSDR. Nothing 
helped. Shutting down the program, powering down the radio and 
bringing it back up and then starting PowerSDR again restored it.


I have not experienced this on the earlier versions.

Running XP,  SP3 also.

[Flexradio] Firewire Driver NOT legacy after SP1 installed

[Bob McGwier]

About the time one of the recent updates from Flex came out,  I starting
having Blue Screens of Death on Windows 7 Professional x64 SP1.

So I was blaming it.  HOWEVER, contemporaneous with the Flex Beta code
install,  Windows came out with SP1.  It updated lots of things, including
going BACK to the "newer superior" driver.  SIGH, Microsoft.

I sent a dump to a couple of people and they pointed me here.


http://www.osronline.com/page.cfm?name=analyze

It analyzed the dump and
immediately told me that it was the new 1394 driver and NOT the legacy
driver.

I went here:


http://kc.flexradio.com/KnowledgebaseArticle50433.aspx?Keywords=legacy+driver

Followed the instructions and now all is well.
