Re: [Flexradio] Parallel Port for F3K
Further, check where the headers go. I have a couple of boards that the header goes to chips that were not installed!! Absolutely. VERY common. You have to wonder why they went to all the trouble to engineer these ports and then make them unusable. There are lots of things that are engineered on mainboards and not used or where either the connectors or the circuitry is not populated. You're designing a main board, you need to have a Southbridge (equivalent) for the USB, SMBus, and other functionality you need, and the part either includes all the serial port logic in it already, or your Southbridge has a connector to a Super I/O chip that has serial and parallel port logic in it. You can't really buy a part that doesn't HAVE these things in it. So, you design your mainboard, you wire-up the traces just in case -- There's no cost to put the traces down. And you can always not populate the socket. And the socket can be useful for various OEMs/IHVs during debugging. So, why not populate them? Because it saves some tenths of a cent, and Microsoft doesn't require it as part of getting the Designed for Windows logo. In fact, Microsoft have been actively DIScouraging parallel and serial ports on systems for years... it's called Legacy Free PC. The general belief is that using these ports tend to confuse the technologically naïve. Seriously. OTOH, back in the days of the IBM Thinkpad, I seem to recall a story about IBM removing the printer port (parallel port) from one of their Thinkpad models, and corporate types howling in protest. How would they print their Powerpoint slides? The parallel port quickly returned on subsequent models.

VOX??? I have been playing with SSB on my FLEX 1500 but can't find in the manual or any menu a VOX option. Anyone have any ideas on this or options. I use a boom Goldline Heil Mic and PTT operating is not handy and clicking MOX on and off not happy way to operate either.

Re: [Flexradio] using the flex control
Hi Dale If you want PowerSDR to use the knob you will have to upgrade. However, you could probably use it via DDUtil and stick with 2.0.22 (I think??)

Thanks to all the suggestions. I will first check to see if there is a parallel port on the board, and, if not, will see about ordering another PP card.

[Flexradio] All was well Until
I am running a Flex 5000 on Vista and everything was flawless until! I decided to setup for the digital modes. I downloaded VAC 4.09 and VSP Manager. Installation went according to instructions . I set them both up with no problem then I started Power SDR and it was all down hill from there Power SDR loads but even before I turn on the power the band selection switch pulses between 80 meters and WWV resulting in the frequency display flashing between WWV and 80 meters. The AGC and Drive slider controls also pulsate between half setting to full setting alternately. It gets better when I turn the power switch it really go bonkers! Starts scanning frequency, changes bands, etc. all on its own! Interestingly I have been able to get back to normal operation by energizing the MOX (transmit) as long as It happens in a ham band. This of course does not last... I can turn the power off but I cannot exit PowerSDR with out using the Task Manager to shut down. Reboot and power gives the same result. I uninstalled VAC and VSP Manager no change I suspect I need to deal with the BOX. Any suggestions before I go further.

Re: [Flexradio] All was well Until
The standard first step after such a major problem. Is Delete the database, and create a new one. That will 'probably' get you going. you will probably have to re-install VSPm first so you have some comports to put into the new database. It's been my experience that it's best to start with a new database. Install one program Check it out Then install the next.

Re: [Flexradio] All was well Until
Your situation may be different from mine, but I had a similar thing happen to me once. I had to uninstall everything related to the powersdr software and reinstall which took care of the problem. You may just want to do a data base reset first. After that there are those on this list that know better about the deeper aspects and can help you. Just hollar. I doubt that the box is the problem.

Re: [Flexradio] All was well Until
Tim, I guess the next question maybe what caused the need to reset to factory defaults? The VAC and VSP Manager software seemed to setup as expected but it freaked out PowerSDR. Wondering if I got something out of order while setting up.

I decided to setup for the digital modes. I downloaded VAC 4.09 and VSP Manager. Installation went according to instructions . I set them both up with no problem then I started Power SDR and it was all down hill from there Power SDR loads but even before I turn on the power the band selection switch pulses between 80 meters and WWV resulting in the frequency display flashing between WWV and 80 meters. The AGC and Drive slider controls also pulsate between half setting to full setting alternately. It gets better when I turn the power switch it really go bonkers! Starts scanning frequency, changes bands, etc. all on its own! Interestingly I have been able to get back to normal operation by energizing the MOX (transmit) as long as It happens in a ham band. This of course does not last... I can turn the power off but I cannot exit PowerSDR with out using the Task Manager to shut down. Reboot and power gives the same result. I uninstalled VAC and VSP Manager no change I suspect I need to deal with the BOX. Any suggestions before I go further.
