Re: [Flexradio] Flex jacket-Logo?

With all respect to Flex, whose people I respect and whose products I love,
I do not pay to wear someone else's advertising.

I realize that many see it as a badge of pride rather than an ad so just
call it my personal idiosyncrasy.

Re: [Flexradio] CPU usage

2011-12-04 Thread William H. Fite
I had to reinstall windows the other day and, being in a hurry and not
watching what I was doing, I inadvertently installed the 32-bit version of
Win7.  Of my 16GB of RAM, it reported that it could utilize 2.93GB.  The
rest was just sitting there resting its electrons.

When I restored 64, the difference was immediately and gratifyingly obvious.

[Flexradio] Flex jacket

2011-12-04 Thread Robert Costa, KB6QXM
All,

I personally do not like to be a walking billboard, but when it comes to a few 
choice ham radio manufactures, such as Flex, I would do so.

The mainstream companies, produce their product and you get what you get. 

Being a Flex owner, you are like being a shareholder in the company as the 
company listens to it's customer base. 

Flex is also not a huge corporation tied down by a huge corporate mindset that 
is isolated from their customer base. Gerald and his well selected staff have 
their hands on the heartbeat of the people that make the difference in their 
existence or their demise.

I applaud not only Gerald and his staff, but all of the customers that make 
Flex a viable product. 

Many hams are afraid of the Flex product due to the integration of a computer 
to the radio. There are also the other camps that want to tear down Flex as 
they think their products are superior.

If we all wear a Flex hat, shirt or jacket, we then become the best 
advertisement that money can buy...word of mouth.

People see the shirt and ask you...so you have a Flex, tell me about 
itbefore you know it, there is another sale.

I cannot tell you the misperception that people have about the Flex products. I 
am the only club member in my ham club that owns a Flex. 

There are a lot of the other camp radio and the one camp that says that their 
radio is SDR, but this is where we Flex owners need to educate other hams on 
what the product is.

I support the hat, shirt and jacket idea and have a friend that can produce 
them quickly and has access to quality jackets, polo shirts and hats.

Once I get an approval from Gerald on the approved artwork, color of the 
jackets, hats and polo shirts, I am willing to coordinate the production of the 
product.

Re: [Flexradio] Flex jacket

2011-12-04 Thread Michael Tondee
I'm sorry to rain on everyone's parade but I think right now this is 
much ado about nothing. I think if Flex was interested in producing 
Hats, T-shirts, Jackets, etc. they would have done so by now. It's not 
like this is a new company that just showed up on the block.  They have 
been around awhile.  We get so used to being involved with members of 
the company and the access to them that we have that we feel we are a 
part of things and we are to a certain extent but not to the point that 
Flex is going to grant us permission to go out and start doing things 
with their property, which is what their name and logo is.
 I'm sure the idea of Flex logo apparel has probably been broached in 
company meetings before and there may or may not be a plan already in 
place. If there is a plan, I'm sure it involves a professional process 
of taking bids for the production of the merchandise, quality control 
and final say on what does and doesn't get the Flex logo branded onto 
it.  No offense to anyone intended, but I think it's a little more 
involved than a group of hams on an e-mail reflector and someone who has 
a friend or an XYL who had an embroidery machine. All that being 
said, I'd love to have Flex T-shirt or maybe even a coffee mug to put my 
hot cocoa in on cold mornings in the shack. I might even send them as 
Christmas gifts to some of the  poor misguided gents on the e-ham SDR 
forum who insist on bashing Flex at every turn but to used yet another 
canned phraseall this is putting the cart before the horse. Way 
before the horse, judging by the silence on the issue from the folks at 
Flex who we know monitor this reflector. Much as I'd like to have that 
Flex coffee mug, I'd like to think they have their minds on more 
important things, like continuing to improve their already outstanding 
products.

People see the shirt and ask you...so you have a Flex, tell me about 
itbefore you know it, there is another sale.

I cannot tell you the misperception that people have about the Flex products. I 
am the only club member in my ham club that owns a Flex.

There are a lot of the other camp radio and the one camp that says that their 
radio is SDR, but this is where we Flex owners need to educate other hams on 
what the product is.

I support the hat, shirt and jacket idea and have a friend that can produce 
them quickly and has access to quality jackets, polo shirts and hats.

Once I get an approval from Gerald on the approved artwork, color of the 
jackets, hats and polo shirts, I am willing to coordinate the production of the 
product.

The most effective word of mouth advertizing of Flex is best done on

[Flexradio] Flex Logo Embroidery File

2011-12-04 Thread Richard Clafton
I got up to over 25 direct to me emails this morning requesting access to the 
logo file.   So to
save me sending this thing out many times I am going to make it available to 
all.   

The file is in Tajima DST format (convertible to many other formats)  It was 
designed LARGE to be
embroidered on to my leather shack recliner and dust covers.  Your machine or 
software should allow
you to resize it to a reasonable size.

Here is the picture:  http://www.riroc.com/assets/images/flexembroidered.jpg

And here is the file:  http://www.riroc.com/assets/images/flexwaves.zip

All I ask is that you do not profit from my work.And if you pass it on, 
just pass on the credit
for my time in creating it.   If you feel that you want to offer some 
recompense for my time and
effort then I ask that you make a donation to http://www.PugHearts.com the 
Houston Pug Rescue that
I am a founding member of.

Thanks!

[Flexradio] Echo - long story

2011-12-04 Thread k4elo
Here's a good one.  I have been having trouble with some rfi on a couple
of my wire antennas causing a slight echo in my ssb audio transmission.
I have no doubt it was the rfi causing it because as soon as I added a
coax rf choke right below the balun on the first antenna the echo went
away when using that antenna, but remained on the other two antennas. 
The echo only showed up when I was using my MultiSwitcher which must
have been where the rf was causing the problem because if I plugged the
mic directly into the Flex, no echo.  In addition, I could see the
unselected leds on my remote antenna switch control flicker when I
talked.  All of these effects went away on antenna 1 as soon as the rf
choke was added.

So I was on a net on 40M the other night testing antenna number 3 (no rf
choke there yet at that time) and a station who checked in after me
proceeded to inform me that the echo on my signal was not caused by rfi,
but it was due to the latency/delay in my computer running the sdr.  I'm
currently running the Flex on a Neal super computer and the average
latency is around 10 microseconds with some peaks up to a little under
50 microseconds - not too shabby.  When I informed him that plugging the
mic directly into the radio eliminated the problem, he launched into
some highly technically suspect explanation about the lack of delay in
the MultiSwitcher offsetting the latency in the computer so the echo
disappeared.  Nothing I said could change his mind.  Now I'm wondering
which school he got his Phd from so I'll be sure none of my
grandchildren go there.

The good news is that after I added coax chokes to the other wire
antennas the echo and the flickering leds disappeared when using them
too.
The bad news is that there are still some technically inept hams out
there when it comes to sdr who may convince others of their erroneous
point of view.

[Flexradio] Flex jacket

2011-12-04 Thread Robert Costa, KB6QXM
I agree on the statement Micheal said. Let's see what the official statement is 
from Flex. At least Flex knows the desire of some of their customers is to own 
Flex marketing products. I guess the only thing we need to know is Flex Radio's 
official stance. If they want bidding process and samples from potential 
vendors, that is completely understandable.

Now let's just wait and see what Flex has to say.

Burt;

If you would, PLEASE make a reference to the VIMEO link on the YouTube

My point is that while I applaud you for offering the correction, all 
too many folks will look at the YouTube entry, and feel that this is the 
end of the story.  (Or, can/should the video simply be removed from the

Re: [Flexradio] turboEncabulator interface

2011-12-04 Thread William H. Fite
Yes, Brian, the original TurboEncabulator used inverse reactive current but
phase regulation was never really satisfactory.  That's why Nixworth
introduced the ProtoEncabulator, which relies on modial interaction of
magneto-reluctance on two zener diodes closely aligned on the PCB.  Alas,
it  does not scale linearly with the current polarity required by modern
flux inversion systems and for that reason relatively few have been sold in
recent years.

You might find either one on ebay.

 interface to the unilateral phase detractors in PowerSDR? Flex has stopped
 talking about it but I keep wondering.

Paul, my understanding is that Rockwell could never get it space-certified
and abandoned the project.  Nixworth bought the rights and adapted it to
radios to solve trigular interaction in the LO.  I think another company
tried to use it in automobiles but they were not successful, IIRC.

Brian, maybe you can clear up something for me.  When manufacturers of
deplenerators list the deplenation amplitude, is that RMS or peak-to-peak?

[Flexradio] Question about multiple OS of the same kind....

2011-12-04 Thread Michael Tondee
This one may be a little out there, it's a thought I've had several 
times but have never asked about.  I don't suppose it's possible to do 
two installs of the same OS, each on separate hard drives?
 I think I did this once with different versions of Windows but never 
with the same one.  I have two hard drives in my PC, each 500GB and one 
is basically just sitting there. I always had plans to put a system 
image on it but never have.
 All the talk that comes up every once in awhile about creating a lean 
mean stripped down machine strictly for Flex and ham radio use has 
caused the following what if...
What if I installed my Windows 7 operating system on both drives and was 
able to select between which drive booted the PC?  Then I could keep all 
my daily use , life with the PC stuff on one drive and all my ham stuff 
on the other.
 Follow me? It would be like having two PC's in one box if it's even 
possible.  I don't want to get in to a discussion of license agreements 
and how Microthief might look at it, I just want to know if it's even a 
feasible idea at this point.
 Just trying to think out of the box since I cannot afford two PC's for 
my own personal use at this point.

Re: [Flexradio] Question about multiple OS of the same kind....

2011-12-04 Thread Tom Brown N4TAB
There is another approach that works well and doesn't require a second 
computer or a second OS.


AlacrityPC http://alacritypc.kensalter.com/ . It's donationware.  Works 
really well (at least under XP). When I start PowerSDR, Alacrity shuts 
off all of the services and applications that I elected, compacts memory 
and I'm off to the races.  When I shut down PowerSDR. it restores the 
services and applications.  Takes about 15 minutes to se-up and it 
really works well.  I learned about AlacrityPC on a Flex forum 3-4 years 
ago.

Re: [Flexradio] [FlexEdge] (no subject)

2011-12-04 Thread Steven Hess
I'll have to agree. I have run my Flex-3000 on a 1.4Ghz XP machine with one
gig of ram. It can be done. It was not a satisfactory solution and it
didn't do the Flex-3000 justice. I did it only to see if it could be done.
I run my Flex-3000 on a 6 core AMD based system built off of one of Neal's
past recommended ASRock motherboards with 8 gigs of ram and lower mid range
ATI graphics card that I built. Cool and Quiet is turned off in BIOS and
the machine is locked to 3.2GHz. I have no latency I can hear even with
DPCs that average around 75 us and peak up to 250 us sometimes. My CPU
load running PowerSDR in the panafall mode and two instances of WSPR and
CPU utilization monitor and Xchat averages 5.6%. I have done no tweaking to
Windows 7 64.

A excellent radio deserves a excellent computer. Why would you cripple half
of your radio if you didn't have to? Most off the shelf systems are built
from the cheapest components to meet a price point not to function as well
as they can.

 I concurrently concur.  The Emporer has no clothes- you need PC oomph to

 added RX2.   I know that many people can enjoy their $3,500 radio with a
 $500 PC.  But I look outside at my antennae, and figure my PC should at

  I admit it right up front.  I have a bad-ass computer.  Beginning with my
  Altair (anybody remember those?) and working forward, I've always built
 my
  own computers, with the exception of my last one, which I bought in a
  moment of temporary insanity.  It was a game-but-lame little Gateway
 with a
  Core Duo processor and 2GB of RAM.  Now that is gone and I'm typing this
 on
  a homebuilt AMD Phenom II 6-core with 16GB of RAM, a wicked fast graphics
  card, a nice solid-state drive, and all the trimmings.
 
  The cost for all this luxury?  A thousand bucks and change. Much less
 than
  most people think, a little more than half the price of a 3000.  Two
 hours
  of my time to assemble it, another two hours to install the OS, reload
 the
  apps, and move over the data.
 
  What's my point?  Well, I made the remark a few days ago that a good
 radio
  needs a good computer.  Ever since, people have been chiming in to report
  that they have old or small computers that run PSDR just fine.  The
  latency is short enough that I've gotten used to it and it mostly doesn't
  bother me, said one of our faithful, who took me to task in a private
  email for being a computer snob.
 
  Although someone will probably chime in to say that they are able to run
  PSDR with a germanium crystal, a cat's hair, a bobby pin, and two rubber
  bands, we continue to hear all the little bits of guidance:  You'll need
 to
  run GBoost...run Autorun...turn off services...get a registry
 optimizer...
 
  I appreciate that some folks (like me!) are workin' stiffs without a lot
 of
  extra cash.  But we all saved up for our Flex radios and we can all save
 up
  for good computers.  And then we won't need GBoost or Autorun or PC
  Optimizer. We won't need one computer to run the radio and another to do
  everything else.  We won't have to worry about latencies or CPU usage.
  We
  can just play in the radio sandbox.
 
  A good radio needs a good computer.

Re: [Flexradio] Configuring PSDR with a RX only loop so that I can't TX into it with my 5000A?

Zack,

Use a DX Engineering RTR-1 interface.   It will connect the antennas all 
together so that transmitting to the RX antenna not possible.

Well, one of the reasons people pay more money for the 5000a is to get all
that antenna switching on the back. The zero-cost answer (for 5000 owners)
is to use the RX1 input.

Sorry, I meant to say, all that antenna switching on the FRONT. God knows

Re: [Flexradio] Configuring PSDR with a RX only loop so that I can't TX into it with my 5000A?

2011-12-04 Thread Suzanne Lloyd Kubis
I blew my first Pixel Loop shortly after its introduction using my Flex. Very 
EASY to do!!

While tuning around listening to all of  the great signals I was picking up, I 
heard an old friend on the air so I picked up the mic. and called him, but he 
never came back nor did the loop.

Now I make sure the TX is disabled, whenever I use my replacement Loop.

It is a great RX antenna for those in high noise or restricted space, I like 
mine very much. Thinking of getting another one for my other shack, too.

The Pixel loops being shipped now do come with a built in relay to shut down 
the amp in the loop but I can't recall what it actually switches, may just 
power off the loop amp for use in high RF fields when TX'ing.

Cheers!

Lee,
You could suggest that, but then again, you could probably take less abuse
from a wood chipper!  :-)

In all honesty, I think this is a simple matter of perspective based on
model (1500/3000/5000) and point of view.  I wouldn't worry about it as it
really doesn't matter.  Call it what you will.  I particularly like your
reference to the bumpy stuff and don't really mind what anyone calls it,
as your characterization is clear and colorfull!  :-)

Enjoy the radio and the hobby and above all, don't sweat the small stuff.  
The Flex and other SDR-based radios, even the ones with knobs and other
bumpy stuff are all really cool when compared to some of the vintage stuff
that we may have used previously.

Thanks  73,

Re: [Flexradio] Question about multiple OS of the same kind....

2011-12-04 Thread Brett Gazdzinski
I have been having fun playing with my new computer, digging into windows 7 
and turning stuff off and deleting all sorts of stuff. Just for fun, not 
because I need to.

Reminds me of my windows 3.1 video game days.
I went in services and changed a lot of stuff to manual or disabled, even 
down to all the internet and Ethernet stuff.
I think I have everything turned off that can be turned off and still have 
the computer run psdr, and I do not see a bit of difference.


What I cant figure out is why the cpu usage jumps between 2% and 18 % with 
nothing running, not even psdr.
Resource monitor shows idle system processes, or crss (or something like 
that) using the cpu.

So its working at being idle?

It seems to me, that most of the stuff windows loads does not seem to impact 
psdr.
Just talking about basic windows stuff, not the extra stuff most companies 
load on, or virus protection, etc.


When running psdr, it seems only one core out of four is doing much, very 
little of the 4 gig of memory is being used, but I suspect the video system 
could be better, not that it impacts radio operation.
It was the same on the slow computer, poor video system more then a windows 
issue.


I like a stable system, so the radio computer is not hooked up to the web.
There is no need, I have other computers to do web stuff, old laptops that 
can crash and burn without it being a big deal.


The dual systems in one box seems clever though, I used to use boot manager 
way back, to set the memory up for each game, used to have a few hard drives 
in the box, one to hold the OS, one for the other stuff.

Subject: [Flexradio] Question about multiple OS of the same kind


This one may be a little out there, it's a thought I've had several times 
but have never asked about.  I don't suppose it's possible to do two 
installs of the same OS, each on separate hard drives?
 I think I did this once with different versions of Windows but never with 
the same one.  I have two hard drives in my PC, each 500GB and one is 
basically just sitting there. I always had plans to put a system image on 
it but never have.
 All the talk that comes up every once in awhile about creating a lean 
mean stripped down machine strictly for Flex and ham radio use has caused 
the following what if...
What if I installed my Windows 7 operating system on both drives and was 
able to select between which drive booted the PC?  Then I could keep all 
my daily use , life with the PC stuff on one drive and all my ham stuff on 
the other.
 Follow me? It would be like having two PC's in one box if it's even 
possible.  I don't want to get in to a discussion of license agreements 
and how Microthief might look at it, I just want to know if it's even a 
feasible idea at this point.
 Just trying to think out of the box since I cannot afford two PC's for my 
own personal use at this point.

Easy. The back of the Flex 5000 has the following:


   - power switch and indicator (Blue Light of Death)
   - mic jack
   - headphone jack

Conversely, the FRONT of the Flex 5000 has the following:

   - antenna connectors
   - power connector
   - balanced mic jack
   - line-in and line-out connectors
   - PTT jack
   - Flexwire connector
   - Pwr-Spkr line out
   - Ext Ref input
   - Ground lug
   - TX[1-3] outputs
   - key input
   - Firewire connectors

Any more questions?

Do you have any idea just how much stuff is running in there when it is
idle? Just start the task manager, switch to processes, and look at all
the crap that Microsoft has running in there. It boggles the mind.

And of course that impacts PowerSDR and everything else. When one task is
running, others are impacted. Multiple cores split up the load but
eventually when you have enough crap in there vying for CPU time,
everything is going to be impacted.

Re: [Flexradio] Configuring PSDR with a RX only loop so that I can't TX into it with my 5000A?

2011-12-04 Thread Lee Mushel
Ah, Now I see!   Silly me had referred to page 3 of the manual which is 
obviously incorrect!   I think you should enter a suggestion that people can 
easily find the front by looking at the bumpy side.

And I would assume that you can use the red and black wires to charge 
batteries, if convenient.

Normally I can sort of follow what people are saying even with my reduced 
capacity to understand meaning given my age but this time you've got me.

What on earth are you talking about when you say the power switch (button 
with blue lamp) mike jack and headphone jack are on the back of the 5000? Of 
course functions can be accessed from the back but can I suggest that the side 
of the radio with all the bumpy stuff is the back?



  Easy. The back of the Flex 5000 has the following:


a.. power switch and indicator (Blue Light of Death)
b.. mic jack
c.. headphone jack 
  Conversely, the FRONT of the Flex 5000 has the following:
a.. antenna connectors
b.. power connector
c.. balanced mic jack
d.. line-in and line-out connectors
e.. PTT jack
f.. Flexwire connector 
g.. Pwr-Spkr line out
h.. Ext Ref input
i.. Ground lug
j.. TX[1-3] outputs
k.. key input
l.. Firewire connectors
  Any more questions?

2011-12-04 Thread Lee Mushel
If anyone questions the fact that Flex Radio reflectors promote the best 
aspects of the ham radio hobby this thread should put that to rest.   I dare 
anyone to find evidence that a good chuckle before bed is bad.  Tomorrow 
I will have one of the local EC's visiting the shack and I don't think he 
has ever seen an SDR radio and certainly has no idea of what he is missing! 
But I will start out slowly and first have him sit down at a Model 28 KSR 
Teletype machine for a whiff of oil and grease.  I do realize that the 
greatest danger is attempting to cover too much material!  But I do promise 
to leave the panafall on!

Lee,
You could suggest that, but then again, you could probably take less abuse
from a wood chipper!  :-)

In all honesty, I think this is a simple matter of perspective based on
model (1500/3000/5000) and point of view.  I wouldn't worry about it as it
really doesn't matter.  Call it what you will.  I particularly like your
reference to the bumpy stuff and don't really mind what anyone calls it,
as your characterization is clear and colorfull!  :-)

Enjoy the radio and the hobby and above all, don't sweat the small stuff.
The Flex and other SDR-based radios, even the ones with knobs and other
bumpy stuff are all really cool when compared to some of the vintage 
stuff

that we may have used previously.

Thanks  73,
Gordon Beattie, W2TTT

Noo, it doesn't work backwards. Everything is normal. It is just that life
is much more convenient if the bumpy part faces the operator where it is
easy to get to the extremely-useful bumpy-bits.

Look: box radios force us to have the part with the knobs facing us because
we MUST use the knobs. Turn them to the wall and it becomes a royal
pain-in-the-butt to use the radio. But if you are anything like me, you are
constantly reaching around behind to change cables, plug in something new,
etc. Since the Flex has no knobs we need to get to on the RF hardware box
(the knobs are still there but now they are on the computer screen where
they are also more difficult to get to), it is much easier to orient it so
that all those connectors are really easy to get to.

What can I say, my preference is for test equipment where they are smart
enough to put all the connections AND controls where both are convenient to
the operator. I can do that with the Flex (mostly) too. All the signal I
need are on the bumpy side of the Flex 5000. I don't need anything on the
smooth side ... except for the power switch. If only there were a way to
keep that turned on I would never need access to that side at all.

OTOH, the 3000 and 1500 are not quite so ergonomic. Still, the minimalist
3000 is no real problem since you just don't change things much there and
the 1500 is so small that it is easy to pick up, change the cables, and
move on.

So, all in all, I am pretty happy with the state of things ... so long as
the part of the 5000 with the on/off switch faces the wall.

(And while this may seem funny, I really am quite serious.)
