Re: [Flexradio] Ver 2.1.5: FM mode + squelch = high CPU utilization
Same situation here, Alan. It goes up maybe 8%-10% when the squelch is set above threshold. No noticeable effect on either PSDR or the (usually several) other apps I have running at the same time.

At that level PowerSDR becomes very sluggish. Dropping the squelch level down below the threshold returns the CPU utilization back to its normal 20% level. Switching to any other mode also drops the CPU utilization back down to around 20%. Engaging TX also drops the CPU utilization to roughly 20%. Engaging the squelch in any other mode does not cause the issue. All the settings in the database are at the default, except for ANT which is switched to ANT3 for my 6 meter antenna. Any thoughts? On my system the CPU utilization varies from one second to the next wherever the squelch slider is set. With the audio unsquelched it varied from 3.1% to 13.1%; with it squelched it varied from 9.7% to 19.6%. So, yes, a slight increase, but nothing like the CPU load you reported. 73 Alan NV8A __**_ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/**mailman/listinfo/flexradio_**flex-radio.bizhttp://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/**flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/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] SDRDataTransfer Will Not Transfer Memories in PowerSDR v2.1.5
Due to a change in the way memories are stored starting with PowerSDR v2.1.5, SDRDataTransfer will NOT transfer any memories that you may have set up in earlier versions of PowerSDR. It will continue to transfer memory data between PowerSDR versions prior to v2.1.5. Currently, I have no plans to make SDRDataTransfer transfer the memory data to PowerSDR v2.1.5. Not only was the memory data moved out of the main database into a separate file, the structure of the data was radically changed. This makes it impractical to convert the old memory to the new memory format. However, this is only a one-time inconvenience. Starting with PowerSDR v2.1.5, the memories are now stored in a separate file which is common to all installations of PowerSDR. This means that any new version of PowerSDR that you may install in the future will access the same memory data file. Also, if you have more than one radio (e.g. - both a FLEX-1500 a FLEX-5000), both radios will access the same memory data. 73, Ray, K9DUR http://k9dur.info ___ 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] Memory Selection 2.1.5 is poor
I just got the update installed today (very clean no issues) and am still doing some minor tweeks, however if you have a 2m memory item seleted the box in the lower right will work for other selections until you go to an HF memory item. Once you do that the box changes so that capability is not there. I think a box update to add that capability to all modes will work wonderfully. At least that is my 2c worth at this point. My thanks to the Flex team for the great update! I am still trying to learn what a fantastic tool this is. My limitation is this is my first HF rig and I have a big learning curve there. A tutorial DVD (even for sale) would be a great boon to those of us try to learn how to effectivly use it in all modes effectivly (especially newbies), plus the options. 73 Michael M.

[Flexradio] It's Working!!!
Forget my message of yesterday re loading 2.1.5. I now have everying working. It had something to do with downloading and re-installing the FireWire driver. 73, Bill Tynan, W3XO ___ 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] relay buffer like the ameritron ARB-704
On Sun, Jul 24, 2011 at 10:21 AM, paim paimg0...@btinternet.com wrote: any recommendation for Amplifier Keying Relay Buffer acom 1000 and flex 5000a? Check with Acom but I don't think a buffer is required. You should be able to connect the keying output of the 5000 directly to the Key In jack on the back of the Acom 1000. You can check to make sure it won't hurt the 5000 by using a multimeter. First put the multimeter into voltage mode and measure the voltage from the center of Key In to ground. As long as it is less than 50V it will be safe for the 5000 to key. Next switch the multimeter to read amps. Again connect from center contact of the Acom 1000 Key In to ground. The amp will key and will show you the current needed to key the amp. If the keying current is 400mA or less, it is safe to key with the 5000. Remember: +50VDC max on the Key In jack, 400mA max on the Key In jack. -- 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] Ver 2.1.5: FM mode + squelch = high CPU utilization
Alan: Now that I have 2.1.5 working, I tried out the FM squelch. I confirm what you say. My CPU utilization runs about 15% in SSB unsquelched or squelched. On FM, it runs about the same unsquelched but about 40 to 45 squelched. For me, this is not much of a problem as I don't use my 5000 on FM anyway. BTW, with 2.0.22 my CPU utilization ran in the 20s (abt 10 points higher than with 2.1.5) with some peaks up to over 90%. I haven't yet seen these peaks with 2.1.5 but it's only been running an hour or so. 73, Bill Tynan, W3XO - Original Message - From: Alan NV8A n...@charter.net To: FlexRadio Reflector FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz Cc: W1AEX - Rob w1aex.f...@cox.net Sent: Saturday, July 23, 2011 8:40 PM Subject: Re: [Flexradio] Ver 2.1.5: FM mode + squelch = high CPU utilization On 07/23/11 11:16 am, W1AEX - Rob wrote: My installation of version 2.1.5 went very smoothly, and it's working great, however, I have run into one anomaly: Using a fresh database, while operating in FM mode, when the squelch slider is moved above the threshold point, my CPU utilization rises from 20% to 70%. At that level PowerSDR becomes very sluggish. Dropping the squelch level down below the threshold returns the CPU utilization back to its normal 20% level. Switching to any other mode also drops the CPU utilization back down to around 20%. Engaging TX also drops the CPU utilization to roughly 20%. Engaging the squelch in any other mode does not cause the issue. All the settings in the database are at the default, except for ANT which is switched to ANT3 for my 6 meter antenna. Any thoughts? On my system the CPU utilization varies from one second to the next wherever the squelch slider is set. With the audio unsquelched it varied from 3.1% to 13.1%; with it squelched it varied from 9.7% to 19.6%. So, yes, a slight increase, but nothing like the CPU load you reported. 73 Alan NV8A ___ 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/
