Re: [Flexradio] Damage control - "designed for AM" ?

[Robert Logan]

I have a little 1500.  It sounds great on AM too.  Several people here in the 
Austin TX area run the 3K and 5K on AM too.  They all sound very good and full.

Re Mike's comment and an earlier one, Revo uninstaller is a great tool
for getting rid of all the stuff that Windows uninstall won't remove.

The full (purchased) version of VAC tells you to remove all previous versions of
VAC that might be on the computer. Since you had the demo version, you had a
version of VAC on your computer.


I had the same problem. I went to Windows Control Panel and Add and Remove
Programs and removed the trial version of VAC. That apparently didn't do it.
There were some verstages of VAC still in the computer preventing the purchased
version from installing.


Apparently, you have to use one of the programs that totally uninstalls not the
Window one. The one I have is Revo. It's a free download.

If that doesn't work, I have a VE friend who helped me, but I don't want to put

So, if you still have problems, let me know and I will contact him to see if he

[Flexradio] Fw: VAC

[Mike Heitmann]

Two things:
1. Make sure you run the new installer as "administrator" (right click on the 
installer and select it).
2. Make sure the old cables are not in use by anything.

I had that same problem on my laptop and found that windows had "grabbed" one 
of 
the old demo vritual cables as a default device and wouldn't turn it loose of 
it so it could be uninstalled.

Man I am all out of Deoxit .. I am replying this to the list as well, as
that makes 3 of us with this issue. I guess Tim has been unable to recreate
it in the Flex shop. I am going to do a complete fresh install of PSDR and
see if it still does it. If it does I will do a Screen capture Video for Tim
to look at so he has a full understanding of what it is doing.

Thanks Jim, that's the issue. I have always believed the only stupid
question is the one that isn't asked. This fixes the issue, just a touch of
the AGC-T and its back to normal. Hopefully this is addressed in the next
release. I never even thought of adjusting the AGC-T as the slider is still
where it was set.

Craig,
I do.  There's apparently a bug in the RX2 / AGC-T code.  It sets the AGC-T
RX2 to "very high", regadless of the position of the AGC-T slider, the first
time I open RX2 in a new mode on a new band.  This really blasts the RX2
audio until I jiggle the AGC-T RX2 slider just a little bit.  I've learned
to go through all the modes and bands one time at low volume, and jiggle the
AGC-T slider, if I ever reset the database.
It's such an obvious bug that I haven't even reported it.

Re: [Flexradio] Unusual Issue

[Craig Gagner]

Thanks Jim, that's the issue. I have always believed the only stupid
question is the one that isn't asked. This fixes the issue, just a touch of
the AGC-T and its back to normal. Hopefully this is addressed in the next
release. I never even thought of adjusting the AGC-T as the slider is still
where it was set. 

 

Thanks

 

Craig

Re: [Flexradio] [FlexEdge] PowerSDR v2.3.5 - Some new feature info

[Jim Jannuzzo]

Dudley, Perhaps I was too arcane in my request.  When I open PSDR, I want all 
the little mini windows that I've opened, to open again where I last left them. 
 I keep Antenna, ESC, and Mixer open next to the main display.  Other hams keep 
Memory, CWX, or Temp/Voltage open all the time.  Even with two big monitors, I 
must fit all these mini windows around DDutil and my logging program(s).  It's 
not all that difficult to store last mini-window state (open or closed), and 
last mini-window position.  As an example, the main PSDR window's postiion and 
size is stored upon clean shutdown.  When you open HRD's Logger, it pops up 
right where you left it, with the Add window in the last place you left it too. 
That's what I meant.  Thanks for your reply.  BTW, I did just get a 
FlexControl, based on the positive comments here and on the DDUtil forum. Jim

Re: [Flexradio] Unusual Issue

[Ross Stenberg]

Lest not forget about those of use that use their SDR computer for a 
multitude of uses including internet access and allow every automatic 
update that do not experience any problems.

I believe that we are the silent majority.



Since I have chosen to have separate computers for my 5000A, 3000 and 
SDR-IQ I suspect that I have fewer of these "problems" than most.   
And the fact that none of these machines are connected to the internet 
is another factor that I don't doubt makes my life more serene!

Re: [Flexradio] Unusual Issue

[William H. Fite]

I second your motion, Lee.  I've not had ANY of the problems described
here (TBTG!) and I use my system for internet and some heavy
floating-point processing, usually with PSDR running in the
background.

OK, I've been lucky.  But what concerns me a bit is that problems that
clearly are the consequence of Windows are described as though they
were faults in PSDR.

That's what we in research methodology call a specification error.
Doesn't matter how good the answer is if you ask the wrong question.

One of the local VEs remarked at Hamcation that they should include
computer competency questions on the licensure exams and I'm inclined
to think he is right.  Then we can speak smugly of "no computer
noobs."

Re: [Flexradio] Unusual Issue

[Lee Mushel]

Gentlemen,

Over the past three years or so I've read dozens of PC-PowerSDR "events" and 
I think that at one time or another I've experienced nearly all.  If they 
don't persist I have always assumed that they are the result of infrequent 
interactions between the software, firmware and maybe even the infrequent 
cosmic ray.   I don't let them bother me and I certainly never let them 
detract from the never-ending enjoyment I get from these radios.   I doubt 
that such things will ever disappear entirely and forever.   Especially in 
light of the fact that we expect, and yes, demand that the features and 
capabilities of these radios change and, hopefully, dramatically improve 
constantly.


Since I have chosen to have separate computers for my 5000A, 3000 and SDR-IQ 
I suspect that I have fewer of these "problems" than most.   And the fact 
that none of these machines are connected to the internet is another factor 
that I don't doubt makes my life more serene!


I do monitor the CPU usage fairly closely and know perfectly well that 
forced upgrades of the machines is not too far away but my habits don't put 
too much pressure on performance in that regard.


But there are times that I worry that our "complaints" affect decisions of 
folks who are only recently considering the purchase of SDR equipment.   And 
if you are one of those I would hope that you would clearly understand that 
denying yourself of something that Flex calls "excitement" because of these 
malfunction descriptions would really be a shame.  And that you will be the 
poorer if you take them too seriously!

[Flexradio] Unusual Issue

[Craig Gagner]

Fresh boot on computer, bring up PSDR in single RX mode, start the 2nd RX
and tune in a signal. Now when I click the TX on the VFO B the volume goes
way up and the signal is gone. If I shut the software down and bring it back
up, the volume is normal and the signal is there again and I am able to TX
on the VFO B.

 

I hope this makes sense, I can do a screen video of it if needed.

 

Anyone else have this issue ??

 

Thanks 

 

Craig, W1MSG
