[Flexradio] strange problem with f5k.
Hi, I'm having a problem with my 5k. I've bought a flexknob, and upgraded to RC3, I don't know if this problem has anything to do with it. In powersdr, when tuning, the receiver seems to get stuck on 1 frequency .The frequency displayed still changes, but the bandscope doesn't move anymore. This happens not directly after startup but after some time. And it only effects receiver 1, the RX2 keeps on working. I've already tried uninstalling all com0com ports and reinstalling powersdr, but no result. Any ideas ? 73 Jan.

Re: [Flexradio] frequency
Assuming the carrier is at 9996, change the frequency in the calibration form and the VFO-A to 9996 and run the calibration test. There is nothing special about WWV other than the carrier is at a particular frequency. And carrier at a known frequency can be used. -Tim --- Tim Ellison, W4TME Internet Systems Admin.

Re: [Flexradio] frequency
A problem with the Russian standard frequency stations like RWM is that they usually don't transmit a continuous carrier but at some short periods. Most of the time they key the carrier on and off with the 1 pps or 10 pps pulses, quite difficult to use then for fine receiver calibrations so you must wait until the carrier is steady on. I used to have a schedule but Is lost it some time ago.

Ok Brian, and it's diffuclt to determine such an accuracy. Not so much any more. There are lots of sources of very accurate signals. Most broadcast time signals are that accurate. Alternatively you can get your own highly-accurate 10MHz reference for the radio and then set the clock offset to zero. That is what I have done.

Re: [Flexradio] frequency
Hi Ignacio Ok with RWM and how it does the trick. I found the schedule here: http://www.irkutsk.com/radio/tis.htm /Erik A problem with the Russian standard frequency stations like RWM is that they usually don't transmit a continuous carrier but at some short periods. Most of the time they key the carrier on and off with the 1 pps or 10 pps pulses, quite difficult to use then for fine receiver calibrations so you must wait until the carrier is steady on. I used to have a schedule but Is lost it some time ago.

Re: [Flexradio] Elecraft KPA500 switching ideas with a Flex-5000A?
I was able to find a transfer relay on ebay a year or so ago that does what you suggest. Unfortunately I haven't seen any since. It has four N connectors, call them A,B,C,D. When the coil is unenergized it's A-C, B-D, when energized with 24 volts it switches to A-D, B-C, straight-through to cross basically. I'd like to find more of these but the one I have is only marked with an FAA part number which I have been unable to resolve, and presumably only good to about 100 watts based on contact size. Perhaps someone knows where to source relays of this type? -David K1FSY On Wed, Jul 13, 2011 at 8:17 PM, vtnn...@comcast.net wrote: I am considering getting the Elecraft KPA500 amp for use with my Flex-5000a but need some suggestions on how to wire it to my antennas.

Re: [Flexradio] Click_Tune
Click Tune is dependent on the Tune Step and mode. Depending how close you click tune to the signal of interest, it will tune to the strongest signal withing the frequency range of the Tune Step setting. If you are tying to Click Tune SSB signals that are ~3K wide and the Tune Step is only 50 Hz, you will probably not get Click Tune to properly tune to the SSB signal's suppressed carrier frequency. SSB signals need a Tune Step value of closer to 500 Hz to 1 KHz. I place the yellow cross-hairs near the suppressed carrier part of the SSB signal where the signal strength is the strongest to Click Tune SSB signals. -Tim --- Tim Ellison, W4TME Internet Systems Admin.

While the transmitted frequency is dead on, the received frequency of signals from WWV does vary slightly with propagation. The frequency averaged over a period of time will be accurate, however. Or, not so much. It is quite interesting to monitor the frequency of CHU for long periods of time. (WWV isn't as good as you get both WWV and WWVH on the same frequencies and you get interesting interference effects.) I have seen doppler shifts of several Hz, and smaller shifts that have persisted for minutes. So, yes, if you average over a REALLY long period of time, days probably, you will get accurate data. But if you only average over minutes, not so much. There is probably something wrong with me but monitoring CHU for hours and plotting the frequency variations is one of my favorite passtimes. I have learned much about what the ionosphere does to a signal. Spectrum Lab analysis of frequency is also enlightening because it highlights the spectral broadening and sometimes spectral splitting. (Differential doppler on different paths can produce multiple spectral lines from a single carrier.) This is one of the really cool things about having a radio that is so accurate and stable in frequency. -- Brian Lloyd, WB6RQN/J79BPL 3191 Western Dr. Cameron Park, CA 95682 br...@lloyd.com +1.767.617.1365 (Dominica) +1.916.877.5067 (USA) ___ 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] Click_Tune
Thanks for reply and information Tim. I had that idea about the 50Hz for Tune Step. On RTTY -as I show on the dump- would you click in the 'valley' between the two mark and space signals ?. I ask, because I think I have tested all possiblities without getting the right method. /Erik Click Tune is dependent on the Tune Step and mode. Depending how close you click tune to the signal of interest, it will tune to the strongest signal withing the frequency range of the Tune Step setting. If you are tying to Click Tune SSB signals that are ~3K wide and the Tune Step is only 50 Hz, you will probably not get Click Tune to properly tune to the SSB signal's suppressed carrier frequency. SSB signals need a Tune Step value of closer to 500 Hz to 1 KHz. I place the yellow cross-hairs near the suppressed carrier part of the SSB signal where the signal strength is the strongest to Click Tune SSB signals. -Tim --- Tim Ellison, W4TME Internet Systems Admin.

I stand corrected, they are still on ebay, and are not 310C00100.

How do I recal and reset the checksums?

[Flexradio] Flex 1500
I just tried the audio balance test and the rig failed. What next? 73, SB ___ 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] Flex 1500
I am 99% sure this test isn't applicable to the FLEX-1500. I am checking it out. If you can hear audio in both the left and right speaker, then you are OK. -Tim --- Tim Ellison, W4TME Internet Systems Admin.
